Wei-Chiu Chuang commented on HDDS-16121:
----------------------------------------

IMO, Jetty 12 + virtual threads is a long term roadmap, not immediately 
actionable. Servlet 3.1 Asynchronous IO is fine, but we don't have expertise in 
this framework and not as popular as Jetty. The benefit is unclear.

Let's say we upgrade Jetty 9 to Jetty12. Does using Virtual Threads require 
building Ozone with JDK21+? Or does it only require JDK21+ runtime? (assuming 
Jetty uses Virtual Threads and no direct invocation of Virtual Threads API from 
Ozone)

 

Jetty 9 to 12 migration is probably a 6-months project of 2 FTE. 

 

Also note: Jetty 12 requires JDK17. But Ozone is built with JDK8 now. We need 
community consensus to move up to JDK17.

> Currently, S3G use the blocking thread-per-request threading model. This has 
> the advantage of being simple to implement (as opposed to the asynchronous IO 
> event loop model). 
> However, we encountered performance issues where S3G HTTP threads are blocked 
> which causes the threads to hit hadoop.http.max.threads and therefore causes 
> the subsequent requests to be waiting in the waitingTaskCount which increases 
> the latenncy. This issue can happen even if the downstream services are fine 
> (i.e. Ozone cluster is not slow or stuck).
> For example, if an HTTP client stalled while downloading a key from S3G (e.g. 
> client machine is slow, etc), the S3G thread will be blocked serving this 
> read request until hadoop.http.idle_timeout.ms which triggers the "Idle 
> timeout expired". Check the Jetty IdleTimeout.java for the logic for idle, 
> the idea is if no data is written in the socket for a while (e.g. notIdle is 
> not invoked), a scheduled task will fail this request to prevent request 
> hogging the thread for too long. 
> {code:java}
> SEVERE: An I/O error has occurred while writing a response message entity to 
> the container output stream.

> Meaning that a single thread can block a single thread although there are 
> still a lot of CPU capacity left.
> One idea is to migrate the Jetty threading model to Servlet 3.1 Asynchronous 
> IO which implements WriteListener and ReadListener, this would prevent a 
> single request holding the thread for too long. However, this requires 
> changes in the S3G implementation which is tedious and risky.
> A better solution is to use virtual threads since we already support JDK21+ 
> version. Since virtual threads are not real threads, a single OS thread can 
> be mapped to multiple virtual threads and blocked virtual threads should not 
> cause OS thread to be blocked since OS thread will pick another virtual 
> thread which can do useful work. Additionally, since the threading model of 
> virtual thread is similar to OS thread, we don't need to change threading 
> model so the risk is lower. Of course, there are some risks in virtual 
> threads (i.e. thread pinning, overloading the downstream services, etc), so 
> we should still evaluate it or we can make a flag to whether enable or 
> disable virtual threads and do canary testing.
> This requires Jetty upgrade, but Jetty upgrade is overdo (we are still using 
> a very old 9.x Jetty version) and we should do it asap.
> Note: I would like to hear from people who have worked with virtual threads 
> before.
