Re: [JDBC] Re: [HACKERS] How embarrassing: optimization of a one-shot query doesn't work

2008-05-28 Thread Jignesh K. Shah

Are there any head fixes proposed for it?

I am seeing some scaling problems with EAStress which uses JDBC with 
8.3.0 and this one could be the reason why I am seeing some problems.. I 
will be happy to try it out and report on it.. The setup is ready right 
now if someone can point me to a patch that I can try it out and 
hopefully see if the patch fixes my problem.

It's been fixed in CVS for a month.  We just haven't pushed a release yet.
  


Let me try it out and see what I find out in my EAStress workload.

Yeah, the lack of any formal testing of the extended-Query protocol
is a real problem.  I'm not sure of a good fix, but it bears some
thinking about.  Not only do we not have an automated way to notice
if we broke functionality, but we don't really notice for either
extended or basic protocol if we hurt performance.

I just posted something to -hackers about the availability of boxes
for QA purposes. It doesn't solve the problem by itself though.

A good answer is probably to plan optional JDBC benchmarks in the
benchfarm design - not all people want to run Java on their boxes but
we have servers of our own to do so. Andrew?

The original pgbench was actually based on an older test named JDBCbench. 
That code is kind of old and buggy at this point.  But with some care and 
cleanup it's possible to benchmark not only relative Java performance with 
it, but you can compare it with pgbench running the same queries on the 
same tables to see how much overhead going through Java is adding.


Original code at http://mmmysql.sourceforge.net/performance/ , there's 
also some improved versions at 
http://developer.mimer.com/features/feature_16.htm


I'm not sure if all of those changes are net positive for PostgreSQL 
though, they weren't last time I played with this.

I fixed most of the bugs of JDBCBench I found when I benchmarked
Sequoia a long time ago. Totally forgot about it. I'll see if I can
find the sources somewhere.

Guillaume,

I for one would be very interested in the JDBCBench code.

OK, I didn't make anything fancy, I just fixed the problem I
encountered when profiling Sequoia (I mostly used it as an injector).

I'll post the code tomorrow if I can find it somewhere (I lost a
couple of disks and I don't remember the box I used to run the tests).

 That assumes that someone working on using the planner hooks will read 
 this thread - which might be reasonable - I guess they number of likely

 to fix it ASAP, ISTM.

Well, it's not like we have never before changed internal APIs in a
minor update.  (There have been security-related cases where we gave
*zero* notice of such changes.)  Nor am I willing to surrender the
option to do so again.  If there's somebody out there with a real
problem with this change, they need to speak up.

+1 to fix it ASAP. A lot of people usually wait for 8.x.1 before
considering a migration and people are usually quite cautious with the
8.3 migration because of all the cast errors in the existing app.

Another question is how we can be sure it doesn't happen again. The
easiest way to test this is probably to have a JDBC test testing this
exact feature in the future benchfarm. Any comment?
