Re: Why standby tasks read from the StandbyTasks::checkpointedOffsets in assignStandbyPartitions()

2019-11-12 Thread John Roesler
Thanks for looking at it, Bill.

I initially agreed with you, but Manikumar asked me to check if it's
really a regression before calling it a blocker. I tested 2.3 and
found the same (buggy) behavior, so I don't think we can call it a
regression, and therefore, it's also not a blocker.

I'm still working on the test, which is pretty tricky to write well,
since so many components inter-operate to produce the behavior. I
still want to get this one fixed asap.

Thanks,
-John

This could be a significant performance issue for some, so I think this fix
needs to go into 2.4.

Just my 2 cents.

Re: Why standby tasks read from the StandbyTasks::checkpointedOffsets in assignStandbyPartitions()

2019-11-11 Thread John Roesler
Ok, created: https://github.com/apache/kafka/pull/7681

I'm on the fence about whether we should file this as a 2.4.0 blocker.

It _sounds_ like this would have a pretty big impact on performance.
I'm not convinced about any correctness problems, though, since the
changelogs are only configured with retention when the stores also
have the same retention.

On the other hand, it doesn't look like a new regression introduced in
2.4, but it's a little hard to say where exactly the logical chain got
broken, since there are quite a few code paths involved.

WDYT?

Re: Why standby tasks read from the StandbyTasks::checkpointedOffsets in assignStandbyPartitions()

2019-11-11 Thread John Roesler
Hi all,

I've just been looking over the code and Guozhang's reply... I think
that the reply is reasonable, but it seems like the code may not be
precisely implementing this logic.

As an entry point, in `StreamThread#runOnce`:
If the state is `PARTITIONS_ASSIGNED`, we'll call
`taskManager.updateNewAndRestoringTasks()`.
If `active.allTasksRunning()`, we will invoke `assignStandbyPartitions()`
In `assignStandbyPartitions`, we get the offsets from
`standbyTask.checkpointedOffsets()` (as mentioned, this only reflects
the offsets as of the last time `StandbyTask#initializeStateStores()`
was called (during `AssignedTasks#initializeNewTasks()`) )
Then, we simply `restoreConsumer.seek(partition, offset)` to whatever
offset was there.

We don't seem to ever call `restoreConsumer.resume()`, which I think
is what Guozhang was suggesting.

So, in summary, it does look to me like the bug as reported from
Navinder is present. Just looking at the code flow, I'd guess that
`checkpointedOffsets()` was supposed to be an unmodifiable view onto
the stateMgr's checkpoint map. The code flow makes it hard to say at
what point this whole process broke down. I'll prepare a fix, and we
can just take it step-by-step to consider which released branches to
cherry-pick to.

Thanks,
-John

Hi Guozhang,
Thanks for the reply.
So, if I understand it correctly. In versions where KIP-429 was not implemented 
and when we were suspending the standby tasks during rebalance and they were 
resumed post rebalance, they will be reading from the beginning of the offsets 
of changelog, since the will be reading from standbyTask.checkpointedOffsets() 
which was only updated during the first initialization.

 Hello Navinder,

Sorry for the late reply and thanks for bringing this up. I think this is
indeed a bug that needs to be fixed.

The rationale behind was the following: for restoring active tasks and
processing standby tasks, we are using the same consumer client within the
thread (the restoreConsumer). And before ALL of the active tasks have
completed restoration, the consumer would not get assigned to any of the
standby tasks at all. So in a timeline it should be looking like this with
a rebalance assuming KIP-429 is already in place:

T0: rebalance triggered, some tasks gets revoked but some others may still
be active;
T0-T1: a subset of active tasks (via the main consumer) and all standby
tasks (via the restore consumer) are still processing;
T1: rebalance finished, some new tasks gets assigned, and now needs to be
restored. Restore consumer re-assign to fetch from those restoring consumer
only.
T1-T2: the main consumer paused all partitions, hence no active tasks
processing; also restore consumer only fetching for restoring tasks, and
hence no standby tasks processing;
T2: restoration completed, restore consumer reassigned to those standby
tasks.

Note in T1, the standby tasks are all still "running" but they just do not
proceed any more since the consumer has switched to fetch other partitions;
so at T2 when the consumer switch back it should just resume from where it
has switched off.

2019-11-10 Thread Guozhang Wang
If a standby task is suspended, it will write the checkpoint file again
after flushing its state stores, and when it resumes it does not re
initialize the position on the consumer and hence it is still the
task-manager's responsibility to set the right starting offset from the
latest checkpoint file. If we did not do that, that should still be a bug.

Re: Why standby tasks read from the StandbyTasks::checkpointedOffsets in assignStandbyPartitions()

Hello Navinder,

Sorry for the late reply and thanks for bringing this up. I think this is
indeed a bug that needs to be fixed.

The rationale behind was the following: for restoring active tasks and
processing standby tasks, we are using the same consumer client within the
thread (the restoreConsumer). And before ALL of the active tasks have
completed restoration, the consumer would not get assigned to any of the
standby tasks at all. So in a timeline it should be looking like this with
a rebalance assuming KIP-429 is already in place:

T0: rebalance triggered, some tasks gets revoked but some others may still
be active;
T0-T1: a subset of active tasks (via the main consumer) and all standby
tasks (via the restore consumer) are still processing;
T1: rebalance finished, some new tasks gets assigned, and now needs to be
restored. Restore consumer re-assign to fetch from those restoring consumer
only.
T1-T2: the main consumer paused all partitions, hence no active tasks
processing; also restore consumer only fetching for restoring tasks, and
hence no standby tasks processing;
T2: restoration completed, restore consumer reassigned to those standby
tasks.

Note in T1, the standby tasks are all still "running" but they just do not
proceed any more since the consumer has switched to fetch other partitions;
so at T2 when the consumer switch back it should just resume from where it
has switched off.

Why standby tasks read from the StandbyTasks::checkpointedOffsets in assignStandbyPartitions()

2019-11-04 Thread Navinder Brar
Hi,
Please let me know if this is not the correct forum to ask this. But I have a 
doubt, I was hoping someone can clear it for me.
In TaskManager:: updateNewAndRestoringTasks(), the function 
assignStandbyPartitions() gets called for all the running standby tasks where 
it populates the Map: checkpointedOffsets from the 
standbyTask.checkpointedOffsets() which is only updated at the time of 
initialization of a StandbyTask(i.e. in it's constructor). I have checked and 
this goes way to 1.1 version when the rebalance protocol was old and standby 
tasks were suspended during rebalance and then resumed on assignment.
I want to know, why post resumption we were/are reading 
standbyTask.checkpointedOffsets() to know the offset from where the standby 
task should start running and not from stateMgr.checkpointed() which gets 
updated on every commit to the checkpoint file. In the former case it's always 
reading from the same offset, even those which it had already read earlier and 
in cases where changelog topic has a retention time, it gives offsetOutOfRange 
exception.
Regards,
Navinder
