From 1ad25ba0303d3ed51c08a8a97d198dc3578ac6f4 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: chrislu Date: Wed, 15 Oct 2025 23:39:30 -0700 Subject: [PATCH] perf: optimize broker assignment validation to eliminate 14% CPU overhead MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit CRITICAL: Assignment validation was running on EVERY LookupTopicBrokers call! Problem (from CPU profile): - ensureTopicActiveAssignments: 14.18% CPU (2.56s out of 18.05s) - EnsureAssignmentsToActiveBrokers: 14.18% CPU (2.56s) - ConcurrentMap.IterBuffered: 12.85% CPU (2.32s) - iterating all brokers - Called on EVERY LookupTopicBrokers request, even with cached config! Root Cause: LookupTopicBrokers flow was: 1. getTopicConfFromCache() - returns cached config (fast ✅) 2. ensureTopicActiveAssignments() - validates assignments (slow ❌) Even though config was cached, we still validated assignments every time, iterating through ALL active brokers on every single request. With 250 requests/sec, this meant 250 full broker iterations per second! Solution: Move assignment validation inside getTopicConfFromCache() and only run it on cache misses: Changes to broker_topic_conf_read_write.go: - Modified getTopicConfFromCache() to validate assignments after filer read - Validation only runs on cache miss (not on cache hit) - If hasChanges: Save to filer immediately, invalidate cache, return - If no changes: Cache config with validated assignments - Added ensureTopicActiveAssignmentsUnsafe() helper (returns bool) - Kept ensureTopicActiveAssignments() for other callers (saves to filer) Changes to broker_grpc_lookup.go: - Removed ensureTopicActiveAssignments() call from LookupTopicBrokers - Assignment validation now implicit in getTopicConfFromCache() - Added comments explaining the optimization Cache Behavior: - Cache HIT: Return config immediately, skip validation (saves 14% CPU!) - Cache MISS: Read filer -> validate assignments -> cache result - If broker changes detected: Save to filer, invalidate cache, return - Next request will re-read and re-validate (ensures consistency) Performance Impact: With 30-second cache TTL and 250 lookups/sec: - Before: 250 validations/sec × 10ms each = 2.5s CPU/sec (14% overhead) - After: 0.17 validations/sec (only on cache miss) - Reduction: 99.93% fewer validations Expected CPU Reduction: - Before (with cache): 18.05s total, 2.56s validation (14%) - After (with optimization): ~15.5s total (-14% = ~2.5s saved) - Combined with previous cache fix: 25.18s -> ~15.5s (38% total reduction) Cache Consistency: - Assignments validated when config first cached - If broker membership changes, assignments updated and saved - Cache invalidated to force fresh read - All brokers eventually converge on correct assignments Testing: - ✅ Compiles successfully - Ready to deploy and measure CPU improvement Priority: CRITICAL - Completes optimization of LookupTopicBrokers hot path --- weed/mq/broker/broker_grpc_lookup.go | 6 ++- .../mq/broker/broker_topic_conf_read_write.go | 48 ++++++++++++++++--- 2 files changed, 45 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-) diff --git a/weed/mq/broker/broker_grpc_lookup.go b/weed/mq/broker/broker_grpc_lookup.go index 0cb12017a..0d8e9eb8e 100644 --- a/weed/mq/broker/broker_grpc_lookup.go +++ b/weed/mq/broker/broker_grpc_lookup.go @@ -33,16 +33,18 @@ func (b *MessageQueueBroker) LookupTopicBrokers(ctx context.Context, request *mq ret.Topic = request.Topic // Use cached topic config to avoid expensive filer reads (26% CPU overhead!) + // getTopicConfFromCache also validates broker assignments on cache miss (saves 14% CPU) conf, err := b.getTopicConfFromCache(t) if err != nil { glog.V(0).Infof("lookup topic %s conf: %v", request.Topic, err) return ret, err } - err = b.ensureTopicActiveAssignments(t, conf) + // Note: Assignment validation is now done inside getTopicConfFromCache on cache misses + // This avoids 14% CPU overhead from validating on EVERY lookup ret.BrokerPartitionAssignments = conf.BrokerPartitionAssignments - return ret, err + return ret, nil } func (b *MessageQueueBroker) ListTopics(ctx context.Context, request *mq_pb.ListTopicsRequest) (resp *mq_pb.ListTopicsResponse, err error) { diff --git a/weed/mq/broker/broker_topic_conf_read_write.go b/weed/mq/broker/broker_topic_conf_read_write.go index 601199223..f5af77cbc 100644 --- a/weed/mq/broker/broker_topic_conf_read_write.go +++ b/weed/mq/broker/broker_topic_conf_read_write.go @@ -24,7 +24,7 @@ func (b *MessageQueueBroker) GetOrGenerateLocalPartition(t topic.Topic, partitio glog.Errorf("topic %v not found: %v", t, err) return nil, fmt.Errorf("topic %v not found: %w", t, err) } - + localTopicPartition, _, getOrGenError = b.doGetOrGenLocalPartition(t, partition, conf) if getOrGenError != nil { glog.Errorf("topic %v partition %v not setup: %v", t, partition, getOrGenError) @@ -45,6 +45,7 @@ func (b *MessageQueueBroker) invalidateTopicCache(t topic.Topic) { // getTopicConfFromCache reads topic configuration with caching // Returns the config or error if not found.
