Hi All,
While testing BlueStore as a standalone storage via FIO plugin I'm
observing huge traffic to a WAL device.
Bluestore is configured to use 2 450 Gb Intel's SSD: INTEL SSDSC2BX480G4L
The first SSD is split into 2 partitions (200 & 250 Gb) for Block DB and
Block WAL.
The second is split similarly and first 200Gb partition allocated for
Raw Block data.
RocksDB settings are set as Somnath suggested in his 'RocksDB tuning' .
No much difference comparing to default settings though...
As a result when doing 4k sequential write (8Gb total) to a fresh
storage I'm observing (using nmon and other disk mon tools) significant
write traffic to WAL device. And it grows eventually from ~10Mbs to
~170Mbs. Raw Block device traffic is pretty stable at ~30 Mbs.
Additionally I inserted an output for BlueFS perf counters on
umount(l_bluefs_bytes_written_wal & l_bluefs_bytes_written_sst).
The resulting values are very frustrating: ~28Gb and 4Gb for
l_bluefs_bytes_written_wal & l_bluefs_bytes_written_sst respectively.
Doing 64K changes the picture dramatically:
WAL traffic is stable at 10-12 Mbs and RAW Block one is at ~400Mbs
BlueFS counters are ~140Mb and 1K respectively.
Surely write completes much faster in the second case.
No WAL is reported in logs at BlueStore level for both cases.
High BlueFS WAL traffic is observed when running subsequent random 4K RW
over the store propagated this way too.
I'm wondering why WAL device is involved in the process at all ( writes
happen in min_alloc_size blocks) operate and why the traffic and written
data volume is so high?
Don't we have some fault affecting 4K performance here?
Here are my settings and FIO job specification:
