Readdirp (ls -l) Performance Improvement

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Hi All,

I have been working on POC to improve readdirp performance improvement. At the end of the experiment, The results are showing promising result in performance, overall there is a 104% improvement for full filesystem crawl compared to the existing solution. Here is the short test numbers. The tests were carried out in 16*3 setup with 1.5 Million dentries (Both files and dir). The system also contains some empty directories. In the result the proposed solution is 287% faster than the plane volume and 104% faster than the parallel-readdir based solution.


Configuration

Plain volume

Parallel-readdir

Proposed Solution

FS Crawl Time in Seconds

16497.523

8717.872

4261.401

In short, the basic idea behind the proposal is the efficient managing of readdir buffer in gluster along with prefetching the dentries for intelligent switch-over to the next buffer. The detailed problem description, deign description and results are available in the doc.https://docs.google.com/document/d/10z4T5Sd_-wCFrmDrzyQtlWOGLang1_g17wO8VUxSiJ8/edit


If anybody can help with the testing on a different kind of workloads, I would be very happy to assist. If wanted to test the patch and run a performance test on your setup, I could help with back-porting the patch to the version of your choice.
