Description

Now that qr1hi is on the latest rc for 1.3.0, we're seeing a lot of slow postgres queries like this one:

arvados_production=# explain analyze SELECT  collections."uuid", collections."owner_uuid", collections."created_at", collections."modified_by_client_uuid", collections."modified_by_user_uuid", collections."modified_at", collections."name", collections."description", collections."properties", collections."portable_data_hash", collections."replication_desired", collections."replication_confirmed", collections."replication_confirmed_at", collections."storage_classes_desired", collections."storage_classes_confirmed", collections."storage_classes_confirmed_at", collections."delete_at", collections."trash_at", collections."is_trashed", collections."version", collections."current_version_uuid", collections."preserve_version" FROM "collections" WHERE (NOT EXISTS(SELECT 1 FROM materialized_permission_view WHERE trashed = 1 AND (collections.owner_uuid = target_uuid)) AND collections.is_trashed = false AND collections.uuid = collections.current_version_uuid)  ORDER BY collections.modified_at desc, collections.uuid LIMIT 8 OFFSET 0;

Maybe you need to reanalyze the tables to update the planning statistics?

The "current_version_uuid" check is new in this version.

It doesn't appear, at least on the surface, that `current_version_uuid` is the root of the problem. The slow part appears to be resolving this portion of the query:

(NOT EXISTS(SELECT 1 FROM materialized_permission_view WHERE trashed = 1 AND (collections.owner_uuid = target_uuid))
A few things that caught my eye:
  • it's using a merge sort to resolve the join
  • the planner thinks it's going to have 1K rows to sort and it actually gets 205K
  • the sort is spilling from memory and being done using disk (50MB)
Not part of the problem, but a couple of other things that caught my eye:
  • collections.current_version.uuid should probably be varying(255) instead of varying to match all the other UUID column definitions
  • it seems odd that the query is sorting on both modify date and UUID. I can't imagine what value sorting on UUID is adding.

Bitmap heap scans are used when there are too many results for an index scan (but not so many that a seq scan would be faster).

On 4xphq, there are far fewer results, and the index is used:

Tweaking work_mem makes a significant difference, but I had to dial it up quite high (128MB).

work_mem is used for each operation in each session. We are configured for 512 concurrent connections; at 128MB per connection (and per table!) that is too much for this box, for sure...

But it helps a lot, because we no longer have an external merge to disk>

Are we sure the stats are accurate? 205K vs 1K is a pretty big mistake for the query planner to make.

Sorting in memory vs spilling to disk when sorting will definitely be faster, but I don't think it should be doing a merge-sort for the join in the first place.

1 sec is way faster then 3 sec, but still not as good as one would hope for a relatively straightforward query.

I had already run analyze on all tables (we have autovacuum enabled).

I just now ran an explicit vacuum analyze on the collections table. That seems to have helped, the planner now doesn't think it's going to get 1k rows back. It doesn't help with the overall performance of the query though, which remains similar. The query plan now looks like this:

Changing the query to compare collections.uuid instead of collections.owner_uuid makes it use indexes and it is very fast.

The query is not equivalent, of course. But maybe we can add the corresponding indexes for the owner_uuid comparison?

Seems like the gist of this is that if we're going to use a subquery, it should not refer to any variables selected from the outer query. If the subquery is the same for every row, postgres only has to run it once.
