Hi All,
For context I'm playing around with writing a Dockerised build system to
build Dockerised qpid components. I've been focussing on qpid cpp and
seem to have ironed out most of the quirks between versions.
As I was trying out building some older versions I noticed that 0.22 and
below seem to be significantly slower than 0.24 and above. 0.24 to trunk
seem to be consistent with each other and 0.8 to 0.22 seem to be
consistent with each, other but I'm seeing a big leap (something like an
order of magnitude improvement) between 0.22 and 0.24.
The test is a pretty simple producer/consumer using largish messages
(50KB) using the qpid::messaging C++ API - identical test for each version.
Is it using AMQP 0-10 or 1.0? Are the messages durable (and persisted)?
One thing I did notice was that when running top for 0.22 and below
qpidd was only registering ~42% but for 0.24 upwards it was registering
~150%, but the producer and consumer clients are single threaded. At
face value this hints at qpidd doing more blocking in 0.22 and below,
but it'd be good to get some thoughts from people who may have better
insight. I'm using ring queues so I don't believe it's anything to do
with flow control behaviours.
It might be something to do with the build system, but the way I build
0.22 and 0.24 is the same, moreover for very old versions (0.12 and
below) I found the CMake build unreliable so I fell back to automake but
the performance of those earlier versions is still roughly consistent
with 0.14 to 0.22 which are built using CMake, if I was seeing different
figures between the CMake versions and automake versions I'd be more
suspicious it was build system related, but that big difference in CPU
usage between 0.22 and 0.24 definitely makes me suspicious that 0.24
onwards has had some improvements with respect to blocking behaviour.
Kind of weird and a bit archaeological, but I'd be grateful for any
thoughts.
The only things I current recall are some of the commits for the AMQP
1.0 path in https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/QPID-6021, however
from what I can tell 0.24 was released before any of them were made so
unlikely to be the issue.
