Summary: Partition elimination algorithm seems to be inefficient and have serious issues with handling date/time ranges, can lead to very slow queries and OOM/Java heap dump conditions Key: KYLIN-3122 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KYLIN-3122 Project: Kylin Issue Type: Bug Components: Storage - HBase Affects Versions: v2.2.0 Environment: HDP 2.5.6, Kylin 2.2.0 Reporter: Vsevolod Ostapenko Assignee: hongbin ma Current algorithm of cube segment elimination seems to be rather inefficient. We are using a model where cubes are partitioned by date and time: "partition_desc": { "partition_date_column": "A_VL_HOURLY_V.THEDATE", "partition_time_column": "A_VL_HOURLY_V.THEHOUR", "partition_date_start": 0, "partition_date_format": "yyyyMMdd", "partition_time_format": "HH", "partition_type": "APPEND", "partition_condition_builder": "org.apache.kylin.metadata.model.PartitionDesc$DefaultPartitionConditionBuilder" }, Cubes contain partitions for multiple days and 24 hours for each day. Each cube segment corresponds to just one hour. When a query is issued where both date and hour are specified using equality condition (e.g. thedate = '20171011' and thehour = '00') Kylin sequentially integrates over all the segment cubes (hundreds of them) only to skip all except for the one that needs to be scanned (which can be observed by looking in the logs). The expectation is that Kylin would use existing info on the partitioning columns (date and time) and known hierarchical relations between date and time to locate required partition much more efficiently that linear scan through all the cube partitions. Now, if filtering condition is on the range of hours, behavior of the partition pruning and scanning becomes not very logical, which suggest bugs in the logic. If condition is on specific date and closed-open range of hours (e.g. thedate = '20171011' and thehour >= '10' and thehour < '11'), in addition to sequentially scanning all the cube partitions (as described above), Kylin will scan HBase regions for all the hours from the starting hour and till the last hour of the day (e.g. from hour 10 to 24). As the result query will run much longer that necessary, and might run out of memory. If condition is on specific date by hour interval is specified as open-closed (e.g. thedate = '20171011' and thehour > '10' and thehour <= '11'), Kylin will scan all HBase regions for all the later dates and hours (e.g. from hour 10 and till the most recent hour on the most recent day). As the result query execution will dramatically increase and in most cases Kylin server will be terminated with OOM error and JVM heap dump. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
