WITH DBSPACES COMPRISED OF MANY CHUNKS, FREQUENT 'CHUNK DOWN' CHECKING CAN BE VERY EXPENSIVE | |

INFORMIX SERVER / 5725A3900 / C10 - IDS 12.10 | |
Problem description: | |
On a secondary server system having multiple dbspaces with a couple hundreds of chunks each, a significant log apply slowness can be observed during heavy load on primary that, esp. with HDR, can affect primary performance too. Here's how this looks in 'onstat -g laq': Log Apply Info: Thread Queue Total Avg Size Queued Depth wreplay_1 0 189676 1.35 wreplay_2 0 153139 1.34 wreplay_3 0 260041 1.48 wreplay_4 0 161107 1.32 wreplay_5 0 164985 1.33 wreplay_6 0 115743 1.17 wreplay_7 0 246979 0.42 wreplay_8 0 172274 1.36 wreplay_9 0 125461 1.29 wreplay_10 0 116958 1.20 wreplay_11 0 211963 1.64 Secondary Apply Queue: Total Buffers:48 Size:2048K Free Buffers:0 Log Recovery Queue: Total Buffers:48 Size:20480K Free Buffers:0 Log Page Queue: Total Buffers:1024 Size:2K Free Buffers:0 Log Record Queue: Total Buffers:1000 Size:16K Free Buffers:981 So worker threads' queues empty or nearly empty most of the time while Secondary Apply Queue, Log Recovery Queue and Log Page Queue completely full, yet Log Record Queue again hardly used, indicating a bottleneck at extracting log records from log pages which is the bld_logrecs thread's business. Looking at bld_logrecs thread under such conditions, that thread would appear 'running' most of the time. | |
