Re: Problem during reproducing smallfile experiment on Gluster 10

Hi,

I think there could be multiple reasons for not getting similar improvement as we were getting.

1) You are executing a test case in a VM environment. The resources are limited as compared to a physical machine.
2) The improvement was showing after enable tcmalloc and disable glusterfs based mempool, I am not
   sure how the memory managed in case of vm environment. On physical server there is no doubt we were
   getting significant improvement.
3) Can you share what gluster options you have enabled to run the test ?
     gluster v info
4) What is smallfile parameters you have used to run the test case (no_of_file and no_of_threads)

Thanks,
Mohit Agrawal

Dear Gluster developers,

 

This is Hyunseung Park at Gluesys, South Korea.

 

We are trying to replicate the test in https://github.com/gluster/glusterfs/issues/2771 but to no avail.

In our experiments, Gluster version 10 unfortunately did not perform noticably better than version 9.

The result above is from the test that deployed 32 threads on each of the 4 clients.

Some results were better than others, but it is not good enough when compared to the result in the aforementioned link.

We are wondering what we can do to get the full potential of the new version.

 

We have been running tests with varying file sizes, number of threads, different volume topology, etc. but we were not able to see data conclusive enough.

We were also not able to find meaningful output from running tests using other benchmark tools such as bonnie++ and FIO.

 

To find the potential cause we tried to look into the program by calling malloc_stats() and using perf.

However, we also could not find something noteworthy from the result.

Here is the data recorded during one set of smallfile test (from create to cleanup): https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1NMXNjgOZ7svDd4-YvKCU4UAp43tm15dC?usp=sharing

 

Below is our test environment:

 

Basic HW info: VM (vSphere), 2 core CPU, 4G RAM. 4 servers and 4 clients.

OS: Centos 7

kernel version: 3.10.0-1160

Gluster version: built from git, checked out from branch 'release-9' and 'release-10' respectively (commits 7094da and a804f8)

build option: default setting except "./configure --disable-linux-io_uring" (kernel does not support io_uring)

Configuration result (case of version 10):
