Storm worker redesign
- 1. Rethinking The Storm 2.0 Worker Roshan Naik HORTONWORKS April 2017, Storm & Kafka Meetup Santa Clara, CA
- 2. Present : Storm 1.x • Has matured into a stable and reliable system • Widely deployed and holding up well in production • Lots of new competition • Differentiating on Features, Performance, Ease of Use etc.
- 3. Performance in 2.0 • How do we know if a streaming system is “fast”? • Faster than another system ? • What about Hardware potential ? • See analysis in STORM-2284 • Dimensions • Throughput • Latency • Resource utilization: CPU/Network/Memory/Disk/Power • STORM-2284 • https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/STORM-2284
- 4. Overview of Proposed Enhancements • https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/STORM-2284
- 5. Areas critical to Performance • Messaging System • Need Bounded Concurrent Queues that operate as fast as hardware allows • Lock based queues not an option • Lock free queues or preferably Wait-free queues • Threading Model • Fewer Threads. Less synchronization. • Dedicated threads instead of pooled threads. • CPU Pinning. • Memory Model • Lowering GC Pressure: Recycling Objects • Reducing CPU cache faults: Controlling Object Layout (contiguous allocation)

- 10. Preliminary Numbers LATENCY • 1 spout --> 1 bolt with 1 ACKer (all in same worker) • v1.0.1 : 3.4 milliseconds • v2.0 master: 7 milliseconds • v2.0 redesigned : 60-100 micro seconds (116x improvement)
- 11. Preliminary Numbers THROUGHPUT • 1 spout --> 1 bolt [w/o ACKing] • v1.0.1 : ? • v2.0 master: 3.3 million /sec • v2.0 redesigned : 5 million /sec (50% improvement) • 1 spout --> 1 bolt [with ACKing] • v1.0 : 233 K /sec • v2.0 master: 900 k/sec • v2.0 redesigned : 1 million /sec (no change)
- 12. Observations • Latency: Dramatically improved. • Throughput: Discovered multiple bottlenecks preventing significantly higher throughput. • Grouping: Bottlenecks in LocalShuffle & FieldsGrouping if addressed along with some others, throughput can reach ~7 million/sec. • TumpleImpl : If inefficiencies here are addressed, throughput can reach 15 mill/sec. • ACK-ing : ACKer bolt currently maxing out at ~ 2.5 million ACKs / sec. Limitation with implementation not with concept. I see room for ACKer specific fixes that can also substantially improve its throughput.
