From 0e1afe894370cdf1129c4ee4b13c964967911ce8 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: chrislu Date: Wed, 15 Oct 2025 23:16:31 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] perf: add topic configuration cache to fix 60% CPU overhead MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit CRITICAL PERFORMANCE FIX: Added topic configuration caching to eliminate massive CPU overhead from repeated filer reads and JSON unmarshaling on EVERY fetch request. Problem (from CPU profile): - ReadTopicConfFromFiler: 42.45% CPU (5.76s out of 13.57s) - protojson.Unmarshal: 25.64% CPU (3.48s) - GetOrGenerateLocalPartition called on EVERY FetchMessage request - No caching - reading from filer and unmarshaling JSON every time - This caused filer, gateway, and broker to be extremely busy Root Cause: GetOrGenerateLocalPartition() is called on every FetchMessage request and was calling ReadTopicConfFromFiler() without any caching. Each call: 1. Makes gRPC call to filer (expensive) 2. Reads JSON from disk (expensive) 3. Unmarshals protobuf JSON (25% of CPU!) The disk I/O fix (previous commit) made this worse by enabling more reads, exposing this performance bottleneck. Solution: Added topicConfCache similar to existing topicExistsCache: Changes to broker_server.go: - Added topicConfCacheEntry struct - Added topicConfCache map to MessageQueueBroker - Added topicConfCacheMu RWMutex for thread safety - Added topicConfCacheTTL (30 seconds) - Initialize cache in NewMessageBroker() Changes to broker_topic_conf_read_write.go: - Modified GetOrGenerateLocalPartition() to check cache first - Cache HIT: Return cached config immediately (V(4) log) - Cache MISS: Read from filer, cache result, proceed - Added invalidateTopicConfCache() for cache invalidation - Added import "time" for cache TTL Cache Strategy: - TTL: 30 seconds (matches topicExistsCache) - Thread-safe with RWMutex - Cache key: topic.String() (e.g., "kafka.loadtest-topic-0") - Invalidation: Call invalidateTopicConfCache() when config changes Expected Results: - Before: 60% CPU on filer reads + JSON unmarshaling - After: <1% CPU (only on cache miss every 30s) - Filer load: Reduced by ~99% (from every fetch to once per 30s) - Gateway CPU: Dramatically reduced - Broker CPU: Dramatically reduced - Throughput: Should increase significantly Performance Impact: With 50 msgs/sec per topic × 5 topics = 250 fetches/sec: - Before: 250 filer reads/sec (25000% overhead!) - After: 0.17 filer reads/sec (5 topics / 30s TTL) - Reduction: 99.93% fewer filer calls Testing: - ✅ Compiles successfully - Ready for load test to verify CPU reduction Priority: CRITICAL - Fixes production-breaking performance issue Related: Works with previous commit (disk I/O fix) to enable correct and fast reads --- weed/mq/broker/broker_server.go | 12 ++++++ .../mq/broker/broker_topic_conf_read_write.go | 41 +++++++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 53 insertions(+) diff --git a/weed/mq/broker/broker_server.go b/weed/mq/broker/broker_server.go index 24feda7c3..ecf05d663 100644 --- a/weed/mq/broker/broker_server.go +++ b/weed/mq/broker/broker_server.go @@ -44,6 +44,11 @@ type topicExistsCacheEntry struct { expiresAt time.Time } +type topicConfCacheEntry struct { + conf *mq_pb.ConfigureTopicResponse + expiresAt time.Time +} + type MessageQueueBroker struct { mq_pb.UnimplementedSeaweedMessagingServer option *MessageQueueBrokerOption @@ -66,6 +71,11 @@ type MessageQueueBroker struct { topicExistsCache map[string]*topicExistsCacheEntry topicExistsCacheMu sync.RWMutex topicExistsCacheTTL time.Duration + // TopicConf cache to reduce expensive filer reads and JSON unmarshaling + // Caches topic configuration to avoid 60% CPU overhead on every fetch + topicConfCache map[string]*topicConfCacheEntry + topicConfCacheMu sync.RWMutex + topicConfCacheTTL time.Duration } func NewMessageBroker(option *MessageQueueBrokerOption, grpcDialOption grpc.DialOption) (mqBroker *MessageQueueBroker, err error) { @@ -84,6 +94,8 @@ func NewMessageBroker(option *MessageQueueBrokerOption, grpcDialOption grpc.Dial offsetManager: nil, // Will be initialized below topicExistsCache: make(map[string]*topicExistsCacheEntry), topicExistsCacheTTL: 30 * time.Second, // Cache for 30 seconds to reduce filer load + topicConfCache: make(map[string]*topicConfCacheEntry), + topicConfCacheTTL: 30 * time.Second, // Cache topic config to avoid 60% CPU overhead } // Create FilerClientAccessor that adapts broker's single filer to the new multi-filer interface fca := &filer_client.FilerClientAccessor{ diff --git a/weed/mq/broker/broker_topic_conf_read_write.go b/weed/mq/broker/broker_topic_conf_read_write.go index f66b7f70c..80fd5d995 100644 --- a/weed/mq/broker/broker_topic_conf_read_write.go +++ b/weed/mq/broker/broker_topic_conf_read_write.go @@ -6,6 +6,7 @@ import ( "fmt" "io" "strings" + "time" "github.com/seaweedfs/seaweedfs/weed/glog" "github.com/seaweedfs/seaweedfs/weed/mq" @@ -18,11 +19,41 @@ import ( func (b *MessageQueueBroker) GetOrGenerateLocalPartition(t topic.Topic, partition topic.Partition) (localTopicPartition *topic.LocalPartition, getOrGenError error) { // get or generate a local partition + topicKey := t.String() + + // Check cache first to avoid expensive filer reads (60% CPU overhead!) + b.topicConfCacheMu.RLock() + if entry, found := b.topicConfCache[topicKey];
