Re: Multiple regionservers on a single node

I too am interested in running multiple RS on a single node.

I have a very small cluster where all nodes are identical. However, I was
just given a very powerful node to add into this cluster which effectively
doubles the total CPUs, RAM, and HDDs in the cluster.

As such, when I run a MR job half the jobs go to this single, new node yet
most of the data is not local due to HBase balancing the regions.

Does it make sense for me to run multi-RS on this node?

Hello all,

I would like to add 2 cents from my side. Even if we have superior
CPU, RAM and Disk, the IO still remains the bottleneck. The CPU would never
have much impact on the overall performance, no matter how powerful it is,
if there is no considerable evolution of IO. Also, if we have multiple RSs,
our DN and TT may face memory issues. What do you guys say?

Thank you.

Regards,
Mohammad Tariq

答复: Multiple regionservers on a single node

Emm, have you tried to tune your GC deeply? please provide the exactly VM options and jdk version and GC logs..
In our test cluster this week, i managed to reduce the longest STW from 22+ seconds(Xmx20G) to 1.1s(Xmx48G) under a very heavy YCSB stress long-term-testing.

Also it would be better to ask help from hotspot-gc-use/hotspot-gc-dev mail list:)
And the G1GC within jdk7u4+ is a potential solution for large-heap senario as well:)

Do you have any further explanation on your specific case ? Looks

Can you share your GC command options here?

Hi Xieliang,
You have put in an interesting set of GC optimizations, similar to what I
concluded after extensive GC tuning recently. For latency critical
applications running on modern servers with large rams and multicore CPUs,
the key seems to be in minimizing stop the world causes cause by Young GC,
CMS initial-mark and CMS remark. Your GC options seems to capture that very
well. Thanks for sharing!

答复: 答复: Multiple regionservers on a single node

谢良 2012-12-11, 08:21

I am just a hbase&hotspot vm newbie:)

1)Before look into GC detail, we should turn ontracing flags, e.g. -verbose:gc -XX:+PrintGCDetails -XX:+PrintGCDateStamps -Xloggc:xxxx -XX:+PrintGCApplicationStoppedTime -XX:+PrintSafepointStatistics -XX:PrintSafepointStatisticsCount=1 -XX:+PrintHeapAtGC -XX:+PrintTenuringDistribution -XX:+PrintClassHistogramAfterFullGC -XX:+PrintClassHistogramBeforeFullGC -XX:+PrintPromotionFailure ...

2)dive into GC log during each run, figure out the longest STW root cause, statistic GC total time/GC total count, etc. Here're some usual safepoint cause: GC 、Revoke Biasedlock 、Deoptimize、FindDeadlocks、PrintJNI, etc..

3)If ParNew costs too much, we can reduce Xmn, adjust survivorRatio/TargetSurvivorRatio/PretenureSizeThreshold...

4)If CMS initial mak&remark are expesive, please notice : UseCMSCompactAtFullCollection/CMSInitiatingOccupancyFraction + UseCMSInitiatingOccupancyOnly/CMSParallelRemarkEnabled/CMSClassUnloadingEnabled/CMSMaxAbortablePrecleanTime/CMSWaitDuration/CMSScavengeBeforeRemark/

5)Multi-thread concurrent is a key as well, if running on modern hareware, e.g: CMSConcurrentMTEnabled/ParallelGCThreads/ConcGCThreads/...

at last, RTFC of right hotspot vm or ask help from hotspot-gc mail list should be the best choice for GC issue

Help it helpful for you,
Liang

Can you provide more information about your setup?

Have you read this, Ishan?
http://www.cloudera.com/blog/2011/04/hbase-dos-and-donts/

This great post described the Long GC pauses problem.

An another great post in the Sematex's blog, describe how Memstore
works, which is a
critical resource for HBase operations:
http://blog.sematext.com/2012/07/16/hbase-memstore-what-you-should-know/

What is the value of:
- dfs.balance.bandwidthPerSec
- dfs.blocksize
- hbase.hregion.memstore.flush.size
- dfs.datanode.max.xcievers

Re: Multiple regionservers on a single node

Hi there,

Not tried multi-RS on a single node, but have you looked at the off-heap
cache? It's a part of 0.92.x. From what I understand that feature was
designed with this case in mind (I.e., trying to do a lot of caching, but
don't want to introduce GC issues in RS).
