Motivation

The current load balancer implementation has demonstrated poor performance in some scenarios, particularly when doing a cold restart or when the load reaches unexpected heights at some brokers. This PR attempts to first address the cold start issue.

Modifications

  • Added third load balancing strategy based on least messages per second.
  • Added load simulation servers, which contain producers and consumers used to simulate load.
    • com.yahoo.pulsar.testclient.LoadSimulationServer
    • pulsar-perf simulation-server <options>
  • Added controller to send commands to load simulation servers in a shell, such as adding (potentially groups of) producers/consumers, changing message rates/sizes, and stopping them.
    • com.yahoo.pulsar.testclient.LoadSimulationController
    • pulsar-perf simulation-controller <options>
    • Can also run scripts.
  • Added broker monitor which will watch and print load report information.
    • com.yahoo.pulsar.testclient.BrokerMonitor
    • pulsar-perf monitor <options>
    • Also available in new API: com.yahoo.pulsar.testclient.NewBrokerMonitor and pulsar-perf new-monitor <options>
  • Added proposal for new load balancing API which is simpler, more modular, and written with less code.
    • Interface: com.yahoo.pulsar.broker.loadbalance.NewLoadManager
    • Implementation: com.yahoo.pulsar.broker.loadbalance.impl.NewLoadManagerImpl
    • May implement LoadManager via com.yahoo.pulsar.broker.loadbalance.impl.NewLoadManagerWrapper
    • Added broker filter pipeline, a sequence of objects that blacklist brokers for selection in exceptional cases (e.g., high CPU).
      • com.yahoo.pulsar.broker.loadbalance.BrokerFilter
      • Has no current implementations.
    • Added new placement strategy API, which uses all the data available to the leader broker to make bundle assignment decisions.
      • com.yahoo.pulsar.broker.loadbalance.NewPlacementStrategy
      • Currently implemented only by com.yahoo.pulsar.broker.loadbalance.impl.LeastLongTermMessageRate
    • Added load shedding strategy, which uses all the information available to the leader broker to decide if any bundles should be unloaded.
      • com.yahoo.pulsar.broker.loadbalance.LoadSheddingStrategy
      • Implemented only by com.yahoo.pulsar.broker.loadbalance.impl.DeviationShedder (untested, abstract)
  • Added dynamically configurable fields which allow us to switch between strategies and managers (i.e., between old and new API).
  • Added allocated and preallocated data to the load report, as well as the bundle gains/losses since the last update.

Result

  • We will have the option to use, configure, and switch between a new load balancing strategy.
  • We will be able to more easily simulation load and test load balancing strategies.
  • We will be able to use the old load balancer if we want to.

By lowering this interval to 1min, every broker is going to update its own load report every 1min, even if there were no substantial changes in the traffic.

Whenever 1 broker updates the z-node, all the other broker will get the watch and reload that load report and redo the ranking. That could be a bit expensive and it was the reason to wait up to 15min to update, in the case the load doesn't change more than X%

Overall looks very nice. Just few comments and formatting (use Eclipse with the formatting profile from src/formatter.xml).

Once this is merged, then it would also be good to have a document in the "Internal Docs" section to explain the mechanism behind the load manager and, even nicer, to have some visualization of the load distribution comparing old vs new load manager.

There's a bit of an issue with this, in that pulsar-broker depends on pulsar-broker-common and maven doesn't allow circular dependencies. Without package reorganization I'm not sure it can be done this way.

You're right, good catch.

EDIT: Actually, the local data is updated via writeBrokerDataOnZooKeeper, which is called periodically by LoadReportUpdaterTask. This updateAll periodic invocation ensures that the load data is up to date; while we could delegate it only to the leader broker, this could complicate things a little bit because:

  • The load manager does not know directly whether it is the leader broker.
  • Since it is implemented as a watch we would have to make special stipulations based on whether the broker is the leader broker.

I think that, since updating invokes reads and not writes, it is not so bad for every broker to do it. It is actually similar to SimpleLoadManagerImpl's behavior, since onUpdate updates the rankings for it, for each broker.

Without the synchronized block, decisions will be made without the latest preallocated data. If many selections are processed within a short time frame, this could result in the least loaded broker receiving too many assignments. A weighted random procedure could counteract this, but it is a little less reliable and more complicated.

I think we don't need this field. right now, we derive loadBalancerIsCentralized based on strategy. if strategy is leastLoadedServer then loadBalancerIsCentralized will be true else false. So, each LoadBalancer implements isCentralized method.
So, as we already have loadBalancer implementation then LoadBalancerIml.isCentralized() should have predefine value and it shouldn't be dynamic. right?

I think LocalBrokerData is a replacement of LoadReport so, can't we add more information into existing LoadReport and use it? In that way we don't have to maintain two classes and any load-manager can deserialize it. is that correct?

While that is true, I think pushing the new fields into LoadReport would add unnecessary clutter to the JSON for users of SimpleLoadManagerImpl and vice-versa for ModularLoadManagerImpl. I think they are different enough to keep separate.

Nit-picking: how about calling the 2 commands like :

monitor-simple-load-manager
monitor-modular-load-manager

Otherwise the adjective seems to be referred to the "monitor" itself.

Files.readAllBytes(path.resolve("speed"));
return true;
} catch (Exception e) {
// wireless nics don't report speed, ignore them.

We decided that, since virtual nics will not be able to resolve speed (?), we may as well let catch block deal with it. That way, we do not need to resolve symbolic links or get absolute paths.

If you're 100% sure that it works, go ahead 😄 . Otherwise just pull back the if-not-virtual check.

…vert properly (apache#311)

When `KafkaConsumer` send OffsetCommitRequest,
the field `retentionTime` is always set to -1,
and kafka server convert the retentionTime according to server config.

this patch add convert logic the same as kafka server
to avoid kop expire the wrong commit offset in
`GroupMetadataManager.cleanupGroupMetadata` logic.

test in `KafkaRequestHandlerTest.testOffsetCommitRequestRetentionMs`
