Tune TiFlash Performance

This document introduces how to tune the performance of TiFlash by properly planning machine resources and tuning TiDB parameters. By following these methods, your TiFlash cluster can achieve optimal performance.

计划资源

If you want to save machine resources and have no requirement on isolation, you can use the method that combines the deployment of both TiKV and TiFlash. It is recommended that you save enough resources for TiKV and TiFlash respectively, and do not share disks.

Tune TiDB parameters

This section describes how to improve TiFlash performance by tuning TiDB parameters, including:

Forcibly enable the MPP mode

MPP execution plans can fully utilize distributed computing resources, thereby significantly improving the efficiency of batch data queries. When the optimizer does not generate an MPP execution plan for a query, you can forcibly enable the MPP mode:

The variabletidb_enforce_mppcontrols whether to ignore the optimizer's cost estimation and to forcibly use TiFlash's MPP mode for query execution. To enable MPP mode forcibly, run the following command:


              
set@@tidb_enforce_mpp= ON;

The following example shows the query result before and aftertidb_enforce_mppis enabled. Before this variable is enabled, TiDB needs to read data from TiKV and executeJoinandAggregationin TiDB. Aftertidb_enforce_mppis enabled,JoinandAggregationare pushed down to TiFlash. In addition, because the optimizer does not necessarily generate MPP execution plans, by enablingtidb_enforce_mpp, you can force the optimizer to generate MPP execution plans.

Before MPP mode is enabled:

Push down aggregate functions to a position beforeJoinorUnion

By pushing down aggregate operations to the position beforeJoinorUnion, you can reduce the data to be processed in theJoinorUnionoperation, thereby improving performance.

The variabletidb_opt_agg_push_down控制是否优化器执行的优化zation operation of pushing down the aggregate function to the position beforeJoinorUnion. When the aggregate operations are quite slow in the query, you can set this variable toON.


              
set@@tidb_opt_agg_push_down= ON;

The following example shows the query result before and after thetidb_opt_agg_push_downvariable is enabled. Before this variable is enabled, theHashAgg_58operation is executed following theHashJoin_41operation. After this variable is enabled, newly generatedHashAgg_21andHashAgg_32operations are executed before theHashJoin_76operation. This significantly reduces the data to be processed by theJoinoperation.

Beforetidb_opt_agg_push_downis enabled:

EnableDistinctoptimization

TiFlash does not support some aggregate functions that accept theDistinctcolumn, such asSum. By default, the entire aggregate function is calculated in TiDB. By enabling theDistinctoptimization, some operations can be pushed down to TiFlash, thereby improving query performance.

If the aggregate function with thedistinctoperation is slow in a query, you can enable the optimization operation of pushing down the aggregate function withDistinct(such asselect sum(distinct a) from t) to Coprocessor by setting the value of thetidb_opt_distinct_agg_push_downvariable toON.


              
set@@tidb_opt_distinct_agg_push_down= ON;

The following example shows the query result before and after thetidb_opt_distinct_agg_push_downvariable is enabled. Before this variable is enabled, TiDB needs to read all data from TiFlash and executedistinctin TiDB. After this variable is enabled,distinct a下推TiFlash,和一个新的吗group bycolumntest.t.ais added inHashAgg_6. The two warnings in the query result indicate that the aggregate function cannot be fully pushed down to TiFlash.

紧凑的数据使用ALTER TABLE ... COMPACTstatement

Executing theALTER TABLE ... COMPACTstatement can initiate compaction for a specific table or partition on a TiFlash node. During the compaction, the physical data on the node is rewritten, including cleaning up deleted rows and merging multiple versions of data caused by updates. This helps enhance access performance and reduce disk usage. The following are examples:


              
ALTER TABLEemployees COMPACT TIFLASH REPLICA;

              
ALTER TABLEemployees COMPACTPARTITIONpNorth, pEast TIFLASH REPLICA;

Replace Shuffled Hash Join with Broadcast Hash Join

ForJoinoperations with small tables, the Broadcast Hash Join algorithm can avoid transfering large tables, thereby improving the computing performance.

  • Thetidb_broadcast_join_threshold_sizevariable controls whether to use the Broadcast Hash Join algorithm. If the table size (unit: byte) is smaller than the value of this variable, the Broadcast Hash Join algorithm is used. Otherwise, the Shuffled Hash Join algorithm is used.

    
                    
    set@@tidb_broadcast_join_threshold_size= 2000000;
  • Thetidb_broadcast_join_threshold_countvariable also controls whether to use the Broadcast Hash Join algorithm. If the objects of the join operation belong to a subquery, the optimizer cannot estimate the size of the subquery result set. In this situation, the size is determined by the number of rows in the result set. If the estimated number of rows for the subquery is fewer than the value of this variable, the Broadcast Hash Join algorithm is used. Otherwise, the Shuffled Hash Join algorithm is used.

    
                    
    set@@tidb_broadcast_join_threshold_count= 100000;

The following example shows the query result before and aftertidb_broadcast_join_threshold_sizeis re-configured. Before the re-configuration, theExchangeTypeofExchangeSender_29isHashPartition. After the value of this variable chages to10000000, theExchangeTypeofExchangeSender_29更改Broadcast.

Set a greater execution concurrency

A greater execution concurrency allows TiFlash to occupy more CPU resources of the system, thereby improving query performance.

Thetidb_max_tiflash_threadsvariable is used to set the maximum concurrency for TiFlash to execute a request. The unit is threads.


              
set@@tidb_max_tiflash_threads= 20;

The following example shows the query result before and aftertidb_max_tiflash_threadsis re-configured. Before the re-configuration, the execution concurrency of all TiFlash operators is 24. After the value of this variable changes to20, the concurrency becomes 60.

Configuretiflash_fine_grained_shuffle_stream_count

You can increase the concurrency for executing window functions by configuringtiflash_fine_grained_shuffle_stream_countof the Fine Grained Shuffle feature. In this way, the execution of window functions can occupy more system resources, which improves query performance.

When a window function is pushed down to TiFlash for execution, you can use this variable to control the concurrency level of the window function execution. The unit is threads.


              
set@@tiflash_fine_grained_shuffle_stream_count= 20;

The following example shows the query result before and after thetiflash_fine_grained_shuffle_stream_countvariable is re-configured. Before the re-configuration, thestream_countof[ExchangeSender_11, ExchangeReceiver_12, Sort_13, Window_22]is 8. After the re-configuration, thestream_countbecomes 20.
