perf(stages): Adds benchmark to `TransactionLookupStage` #1130

joshieDo · 2023-02-02T08:56:50Z

Tries to tackle #1092

Added one benchmark, but to be honest the difference I'm seeing seems too small ( 2 - 4 %). I was expecting a bigger difference (for 20k blocks) and I'm not sure if it can't be explained by my machine instability.

One way to test the stage before (tx.put) and after (pre-sort + crsr.append):

$ git checkout dec44093c679d650be5fce04e23f22855b99b357
$ cargo bench --package reth-stages --bench criterion --features test-utils
$ git checkout joshie/txlookup
$ cargo bench --package reth-stages --bench criterion --features test-utils

To test insertion of tables with hash keys :

$ cargo bench --package reth-db --bench hash_keys

Note: sorting is benchmarked on insert_sorted and put_sorted.

crates/stages/src/stages/tx_lookup.rs

+        let last = cursor_txhash.last()?;
+        let mut append = last.is_none();
+        if let (false, Some((last_txhash, _))) = (tx_list.is_empty(), last) {
+            append = last_txhash < tx_list[0].0;


We are comparing it with the first in the list, should tx_list be sorted at this pont?

        self.query(|tx| {
            let last = tx.cursor_read::<T>()?.last()?;
            Ok(last.is_none())
        })
    }

    /// Return full table as Vec
-    pub(crate) fn table<T: Table>(&self) -> Result<Vec<(T::Key, T::Value)>, DbError>
+    pub fn table<T: Table>(&self) -> Result<Vec<(T::Key, T::Value)>, DbError>


let's clippy allow this

crates/stages/benches/criterion.rs

+    let tx = prepare_blocks(NUM_BLOCKS).unwrap();

+    measure_txlookup_stage(&mut group, tx);
+}


i would add manual implementations of various access patterns in a loop, in addition to testing the stage itself. might be easier to compare specific parts if e.g. you have a bench that does X puts vs sorted w/ cursor etc.

For append we know it is fastest if table is empty, question is what is better if we already have some values with random keys in the table and want to insert an additional batch?

yeah i should add those scenarios, however I'll probably put those elsewhere since they're more db specific? this seems like it should be only for stage benchmarking? (eg. reading from different tables and aggregating into one; mem vs disk read -> write, etc)

Added it on 100cea. There is a clear difference between presorted insert and unsorted insert.

cargo bench --package reth-db --bench hash_keys

Results

However, it's not that "visible" in the stage itself. I think because we're allocating all the data into a list before sorting+inserting it. Whereas, in the current state, we're just passing the value into put. But will need to run some more benches I guess

gakonst · 2023-02-05T00:49:14Z

Pulled the parts about stage benchmarking here: #1171. Let's keep investigating the DB-specific patterns here.

gakonst · 2023-02-06T01:26:49Z

TransactionLookup bench on main:

Stages/TransactionLookup
                        time:   [1.2050 s 1.2212 s 1.2390 s]
                        change: [+141.37% +145.11% +149.12%] (p = 0.00 < 0.05)
                        Performance has regressed.

And this PR:

Stages/TransactionLookup
                        time:   [492.02 ms 499.36 ms 507.76 ms]
                        change: [-59.921% -59.109% -58.261%] (p = 0.00 < 0.05)
                        Performance has improved.

Pretty significant improvement! Nice. What else do we need to review this?

However, it's not that "visible" in the stage itself. I think because we're allocating all the data into a list before sorting+inserting it. Whereas, in the current state, we're just passing the value into put. But will need to run some more benches I guess

^Is this still relevant? @joshieDo

joshieDo · 2023-02-06T07:42:33Z

Just leaving here some results and thoughts for inserting into a table with keys as hashes.
b6cf12c

Notes:

preload: preloads the database with X rows.
Each size category uses the same dataset for insert_*, put_* and append_*.
append_all should be used only to compare table sizes.

Benchmarks

10_000 rows
100_000 rows
1_000_000 rows

Thoughts

append improves speed (append_size) and table size (append_all). So if a node has been up for some weeks/months, it can be beneficial to copy the data to disk, delete the table and append from disk again, I guess.
insert_sorted is faster than put_sorted but table size is the same.
insert_sorted is faster than insert_unsorted but for some reason the table size is bigger.
The bigger the number of rows, the more noticeable the difference is. (before I was just testing small sizes...)

The table size being bigger for insert_sorted is the more curious aspect.

Opening for review. The issue of the insert_sorted and insert_unsorted wrt table size can be investigated separately
