[筆記] 測試 postgresql 的pg_prewarm 對效能的影響 / test pg_prewarm in postgresql 11

老闆提到想要把新系統的 postgresql 資料庫都撈到記憶體裡面

但是否決了我提出的ramdisk 作法(因為當機的話,資料就沒了)

在找資料的時候,發現了這個postgresql 的 pg_prewarm extension

好像有點意思?就來測試看看吧!

只是目前還不知道該怎麼解讀測試的數據就是了…

幹!林北真的不是 DBA 啦 =.=

安裝系統、postgresql 資料庫什麼的就不提了,那不是這次的重點

修改 postgresql.conf

編輯postgresql.conf,開啟平行處理以及設定可用記憶體容量

這台測試機的環境是一台三代i7 , 24G RAM , 240G SSD,安裝debian 10(buster)

# load libiriaes
# 其實這次不會用到pg_stat_statements ,不過出於習慣,還是加入開機自動載入吧
shared_preload_libraries = 'pg_stat_statements'

#------------------------------------------------------------------------------
# CUSTOMIZED OPTIONS
#------------------------------------------------------------------------------

max_connections = 20
shared_buffers = 6GB
effective_cache_size = 18GB
maintenance_work_mem = 1536MB
checkpoint_completion_target = 0.7
wal_buffers = 16MB
default_statistics_target = 100
random_page_cost = 1.1
effective_io_concurrency = 200
work_mem = 78643kB
min_wal_size = 1GB
max_wal_size = 2GB
max_worker_processes = 8
max_parallel_workers_per_gather = 4
max_parallel_workers = 8

重新啟動postgresql ,準備開始測試囉!

轉換成 postgres 身份後,進入 psql

建立測試資料庫

postgres=# create database test;
CREATE DATABASE
postgres=#

連接測試資料庫、建立pg_prewarm extension

postgres=# \c test ;
You are now connected to database "test" as user "postgres".
test=# CREATE EXTENSION pg_prewarm;
CREATE EXTENSION
test=# 

建立測試資料表,塞入500萬筆資料

test=# \timing
Timing is on.
test=# CREATE TABLE test_tbl AS
SELECT floor(random() * (9923123) + 1)::int FROM generate_series(1, 5000000) AS id;
SELECT 5000000
Time: 2940.602 ms (00:02.941)
test=#

檢查看看剛剛建立的table 用了多少空間

哎呀,看起來用得不多啊

test=# SELECT pg_size_pretty(pg_relation_size('test_tbl'));
 173 MB

玩大一點,塞個一億筆資料好了

test=# drop table test_tbl;
Time: 0.361 ms
test=# CREATE TABLE test_tbl AS
SELECT floor(random() * (99343) + 1)::int FROM generate_series(1, 100000000) AS id;
SELECT 100000000
Time: 6321.415 ms (00:06.321)

test=# SELECT pg_size_pretty(pg_relation_size('test_tbl'));
pg_size_pretty | 3457 MB

Time: 0.589 ms
test=#

好,現在資料庫長到3457MB了

先來執行一些初步的取得基本數據

test=# explain (analyze,buffers) select count(*) from test_tbl;
                                   QUERY PLAN
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

   ->  Gather  (cost=755978.10..755978.51 rows=4 width=8) (actual time=3331.876..3333.674 rows=5 loops=1)

 Planning Time: 0.040 ms
 Execution Time: 3333.729 ms
(12 rows)

(END)

可以看到打中buffer 的部份其實很少,只有 160 ,大部分都是讀進去buffer (442318)

來看看 buffer 的使用狀況

test=# CREATE EXTENSION pg_buffercache;
CREATE EXTENSION
test=# select c.relname,pg_size_pretty(count(*) * 8192) as buffered, 
test-#         round(100.0 * count(*) / ( 
test(#            select setting from pg_settings 
test(#            where name='shared_buffers')::integer,1)
test-#         as buffer_percent, 
test-#         round(100.0*count(*)*8192 / pg_table_size(c.oid),1) as percent_of_relation
test-# from pg_class c inner join pg_buffercache b on b.relfilenode = c.relfilenode inner 
test-# join pg_database d on ( b.reldatabase =d.oid and d.datname =current_database()) 
test-# group by c.oid,c.relname order by 3 desc limit 10;
   relname    |  buffered  | buffer_percent | percent_of_relation 
--------------+------------+----------------+---------------------

(10 rows)

Time: 148.719 ms
test=# 

可以看到這個 test_tbl 只有0.5% 被撈到shared_buffers 裡面

接下來就把這個table全部推到shared_buffers 裡面去

test=# select pg_prewarm('test_tbl','buffer');
 pg_prewarm 
------------
     442478
(1 row)

Time: 1938.043 ms (00:01.938)
test=#

然後再來看一次shared_buffers的使用狀況

test=# select c.relname,pg_size_pretty(count(*) * 8192) as buffered, 
        round(100.0 * count(*) / ( 
           select setting from pg_settings 
           where name='shared_buffers')::integer,1)
        as buffer_percent, 
        round(100.0*count(*)*8192 / pg_table_size(c.oid),1) as percent_of_relation
from pg_class c inner join pg_buffercache b on b.relfilenode = c.relfilenode inner 
join pg_database d on ( b.reldatabase =d.oid and d.datname =current_database()) 
group by c.oid,c.relname order by 3 desc limit 10;
   relname    |  buffered  | buffer_percent | percent_of_relation 
--------------+------------+----------------+---------------------
 test_tbl     | 3457 MB    |           56.3 |               100.0
 pg_am        | 8192 bytes |            0.0 |                20.0
 pg_index     | 24 kB      |            0.0 |                37.5
 pg_amproc    | 32 kB      |            0.0 |                50.0
 pg_cast      | 16 kB      |            0.0 |                33.3
 pg_depend    | 64 kB      |            0.0 |                13.3
 pg_amop      | 48 kB      |            0.0 |                54.5
 pg_namespace | 8192 bytes |            0.0 |                20.0

 pg_aggregate | 8192 bytes |            0.0 |                16.7
(10 rows)

Time: 2778.354 ms (00:02.778)
test=# 

OK ,可以看到 test_tbl 已經通通被載入 shared_buffers 中

buffered 表示表格被載入shared_buffers的大小

buffer_percent 表示這個表格佔用多少shared_buffers 的比例

percent_of_relation 表示這個表格有多少比例被載入 shared_buffers

再來跑一次explain看看狀況

test=# explain (analyze,buffers) select count(*) from test_tbl;
Time: 3551.785 ms (00:03.552)
 Finalize Aggregate  (cost=755978.52..755978.53 rows=1 width=8) (actual time=3427.286..3427.287 rows=1 loops=1)
   Buffers: shared hit=442478
   ->  Gather  (cost=755978.10..755978.51 rows=4 width=8) (actual time=3427.215..3551.326 rows=5 loops=1)
         Workers Planned: 4
         Workers Launched: 4
         Buffers: shared hit=442478
         ->  Partial Aggregate  (cost=754978.10..754978.11 rows=1 width=8) (actual time=3423.659..3423.659 rows=1 loops=5)
               Buffers: shared hit=442478
               ->  Parallel Seq Scan on test_tbl  (cost=0.00..692478.08 rows=25000008 width=0) (actual time=0.017..1976.744 rows=20000000 loops=5)
                     Buffers: shared hit=442478
 Planning Time: 0.039 ms
 Execution Time: 3551.365 ms
(12 rows)

這邊就可以看到都是從buffer 讀出來所以 hit=442478

看樣子表格還是太小,所以沒有完全發揮?那再來把表格加大!

先重開一次 postgresql 清除buffer

然後重新建立表格

test=# drop table test_tbl;
DROP TABLE
Time: 297.493 ms
test=# CREATE TABLE test_tbl AS
test-# SELECT floor(random() * (993343) + 1)::int FROM generate_series(1, 300000000) AS id;
SELECT 300000000
Time: 290660.607 ms (04:50.661)
test=# 

一樣,看看用了多少容量

test=# SELECT pg_size_pretty(pg_relation_size('test_tbl'));
 pg_size_pretty 
----------------
 10 GB
(1 row)

Time: 0.474 ms
test=# 

哇哈哈,用了10G ,這次還不撐爆你!

跑explain 看看狀況

test=# explain (analyze,buffers) select count(*) from test_tbl;
Time: 22909.065 ms (00:22.909)

                                              QUERY PLAN

看一下現在 shared_buffers 使用狀況

可以看到這個 test_tbl 幾乎沒被放入 shared_buffers 中

test=# select c.relname,pg_size_pretty(count(*) * 8192) as buffered, 
        round(100.0 * count(*) / ( 
           select setting from pg_settings 
           where name='shared_buffers')::integer,1)
        as buffer_percent, 
        round(100.0*count(*)*8192 / pg_table_size(c.oid),1) as percent_of_relation

確認一下,果然大部分都打到cache 了,但是因為shared_buffers 不夠大,所以還會從磁碟讀取一部分

而且時間也比之前還沒塞進shared_buffers 的時候要快了不少

22908.571 –> 11450.781 ms


從這次的測試看來,我想如果有足夠大的記憶體,能夠把資料表都塞入shared_buffers 中

應該可以帶來不錯的效能增幅!
