Re: SSD Bluestore Backfills Slow

Probably unrelated, but I do keep seeing this odd negative objects degraded message on the fs-metadata pool:

pool fs-metadata-ssd id 16
  -34/3 objects degraded (-1133.333%)
  recovery io 0 B/s, 89 keys/s, 2 objects/s
  client io 51289 B/s rd, 101 kB/s wr, 0 op/s rd, 0 op/s wr

Don’t mean to clutter the ML/thread, however it did seem odd, maybe its a culprit? Maybe its some weird sampling interval issue thats been solved in 12.2.3?

Thanks,

Reed

Also the two pools on the SSDs, are the objects pool at 4096 PG, and the fs-metadata pool at 32 PG.

Are you sure the recovery is actually going slower, or are the individual ops larger or more expensive?
The objects should not vary wildly in size.
Even if they were differing in size, the SSDs are roughly idle in their current state of backfilling when examining wait in iotop, or atop, or sysstat/iostat.

This compares to when I was fully saturating the SATA backplane with over 1000MB/s of writes to multiple disks when the backfills were going “full speed.”

Here is a breakdown of recovery io by pool:

pool objects-ssd id 20
  recovery io 6779 kB/s, 92 objects/s
  client io 3071 kB/s rd, 50 op/s rd, 0 op/s wr

pool fs-metadata-ssd id 16
  recovery io 0 B/s, 28 keys/s, 2 objects/s
  client io 109 kB/s rd, 67455 B/s wr, 1 op/s rd, 0 op/s wr

pool cephfs-hdd id 17
  recovery io 40542 kB/s, 158 objects/s
  client io 10056 kB/s rd, 142 op/s rd, 0 op/s wr

So the 24 HDD’s are outperforming the 50 SSD’s for recovery and client traffic at the moment, which seems conspicuous to me.

Most of the OSD’s with recovery ops to the SSDs are reporting 8-12 ops, with one OSD occasionally spiking up to 300-500 for a few minutes. Stats being pulled by both local CollectD instances on each node, as well as the Influx plugin in MGR as we evaluate that against collectd.

Thanks,

Reed

What's the output of "ceph -s" while this is happening?

Is there some identifiable difference between these two states, like you get a lot of throughput on the data pools but then metadata recovery is slower?

Are you sure the recovery is actually going slower, or are the individual ops larger or more expensive?

My WAG is that recovering the metadata pool, composed mostly of directories stored in omap objects, is going much slower for some reason. You can adjust the cost of those individual ops some by changing osd_recovery_max_omap_entries_per_chunk (default: 8096), but I'm not sure which way you want to go or indeed if this has anything to do with the problem you're seeing. (eg, it could be that reading out the omaps is expensive, so you can get higher recovery op numbers by turning down the number of entries per request, but not actually see faster backfilling because you have to issue more requests.)

Hi all,

I am running into an odd situation that I cannot easily explain.
I am currently in the midst of destroy and rebuild of OSDs from filestore to bluestore.
With my HDDs, I am seeing expected behavior, but with my SSDs I am seeing unexpected behavior. The HDDs and SSDs are set in crush accordingly.

My path to replacing the OSDs is to set the noout, norecover, norebalance flag, destroy the OSD, create the OSD back, (iterate n times, all within a single failure domain), unset the flags, and let it go. It finishes, rinse, repeat.

For the SSD OSDs, they are SATA SSDs (Samsung SM863a) , 10 to a node, with 2 NVMe drives (Intel P3700), 5 SATA SSDs to 1 NVMe drive, 16G partitions for block.db (previously filestore journals).
2x10GbE networking between the nodes. SATA backplane caps out at around 10 Gb/s as its 2x 6 Gb/s controllers. Luminous 12.2.2.

When the flags are unset, recovery starts and I see a very large rush of traffic, however, after the first machine completed, the performance tapered off at a rapid pace and trickles. Comparatively, I’m getting 100-200 recovery ops on 3 HDDs, backfilling from 21 other HDDs, where as I’m getting 150-250 recovery ops on 5 SSDs, backfilling from 40 other SSDs. Every once in a while I will see a spike up to 500, 1000, or even 2000 ops on the SSDs, often a few hundred recovery ops from one OSD, and 8-15 ops from the others that are backfilling.

This is a far cry from the more than 15-30k recovery ops that it started off recovering with 1-3k recovery ops from a single OSD to the backfilling OSD(s). And an even farther cry from the >15k recovery ops I was sustaining for over an hour or more before. I was able to rebuild a 1.9T SSD (1.1T used) in a little under an hour, and I could do about 5 at a time and still keep it at roughly an hour to backfill all of them, but then I hit a roadblock after the first machine, when I tried to do 10 at a time (single machine). I am now still experiencing the same thing on the third node, while doing 5 OSDs at a time. 

The pools associated with these SSDs are cephfs-metadata, as well as a pure rados object pool we use for our own internal applications. Both are size=3, min_size=2.

It appears I am not the first to run into this, but it looks like there was no resolution: https://www.spinics.net/lists/ceph-users/msg41493.html

Recovery parameters for the OSDs match what was in the previous thread, sans the osd conf block listed. And current osd_max_backfills = 30 and osd_recovery_max_active = 35. Very little activity on the OSDs during this period, so should not be any contention for iops on the SSDs.

The only oddity that I can attribute to things is that we had a few periods of time where the disk load on one of the mons was high enough to cause the mon to drop out of quorum for a brief amount of time, a few times. But I wouldn’t think backfills would just get throttled due to mons flapping.

Hopefully someone has some experience or can steer me in a path to improve the performance of the backfills so that I’m not stuck in backfill purgatory longer than I need to be.

Linking an imgur album with some screen grabs of the recovery ops over time for the first machine, versus the second and third machines to demonstrate the delta between them.

Also including a ceph osd df of the SSDs, highlighted in red are the OSDs currently backfilling. Could this possibly be PG overdose? I don’t ever run into ‘stuck activating’ PGs, its just painfully slow backfills, like they are being throttled by ceph, that are causing me to worry. Drives aren’t worn, <30 P/E cycles on the drives, so plenty of life left in them.

Thanks,
Reed
