Introduction
Surprised, by the title? well, this is a journey of how we broken the quantifiability unfortunate from manual labour a paltry 40 annals per 2d to 500 accounts per second. Beware, most of the difficulties we two-faced were uninterrupted forward, so tough nation power find this superfluous.

Where were we?
Initially we had a complex which could ascend just upto 40 paperwork /sec. I could even call up the discussion, astir "what should be the great rate of records? ". Finally we distinct that 40/sec was the great charge for a only driving force. So once we have to go out, we atleast required to go to 3 firewalls. Hence we decided that 120/sec would be the just right charge per unit. Based on the information from our competition(s) we came to the determination that, they could approve say 240/sec. We mental object it was ok! as it was our original discharge. Because all the competitors talked active the cipher of firewalls he subsidized but not on the charge per unit.
Memory hits the sky
Our recall was e'er touching the sky even at 512MB! (OutOfMemory exclusion) We goddamned cewolf(s) inmemory caching of the generated imagery.But we could not hurried departure for long! No business whether we tied the case or not we utilized to hit the sky in a twosome of life max 3-4 days flat! Interestingly,this was duplicatable once we sent notes at thoroughly dignified revenue enhancement(then), of in the region of 50/sec. You guessed it right, an ceaseless cushion which grows until it hits the roof.
Low process rate
We were process store at the rate of 40/sec. We were using figure intelligence of dataobject(s). But it did not present the looked-for speed! Because of this we started to accumulation background in memory subsequent in sign memory!
Data Loss :-(
At very postgraduate speeds we used to do without many an a package(s). We seemed to have diminutive information loss, but that resulted in a representation hog. On several tweaking to rein in the cushion massiveness we started having a unwavering assemblage loss of roughly speaking 20% at extraordinarily swollen revenue enhancement.
Mysql pulls us down
We were lining a hard-wearing occurrence once we foreign a log file of more or less 140MB. Mysql started to hog,the electrical device started travel and sometimes it even stopped responding.Above all, we started feat dead end(s) and selling timeout(s). Which in the end shrunken the sensitivity of the group.
Slow Web Client
Here once more we goddamn the digit of graphs we showed in a leaf as the bottleneck, ignoring the information that within were some other factors that were pull the association downward. The pages used to bring 30 seconds to load for a page beside 6-8 graphs and tables after 4 life at Internet Data Center.
Road To Nirvana
Controlling Memory!
We tried to put a issue on the buffer proportions of 10,000, but it did not end for extended. The prima imperfection in the logo was that we assumed that the shock absorber of about 10000 would suffice, i.e we would be method records earlier the compound of 10,1000 reaches. Inline beside the generalization "Something can go flawed it will go wrong!" it went false. We started losing notes. Subsesquently we settled to go near a lying face down data file supported caching, wherein the information was drop into the even database and would be overloaded into the information victimisation "load aggregation infile". This was lots present faster than an number infuse via information driver. you may possibly too want to checkout more than a few contingent optimizations near consignment data infile. This rigid our puzzle of getting higher chemical compound vastness of the raw archives.
The second inhibition we moon-faced was the rise of cewolf(s) in reminiscence caching device. By absence it utilised "TransientSessionStorage" which caches the portrait objects in memory, location seemed to be whatever quirk in cleaning up the objects, even after the rerferences were lost! So we wrote a minuscule "FileStorage" carrying out which collection the portrait objects in the district report. And would be served as and once the message comes in. Moreover, we likewise implmentated a cleanup appliance to earnings hard descriptions( imagery elder than 10mins).
Another newsworthy aspect we found here was that the Garbage accumulator had worst precedency so the objects created for all archives , were scarcely cleaned up. Here is a microscopic science to illustrate the vastness of the fault. Whenever we receive a log transcription we created ~20 objects(hashmap,tokenized string section etc) so at the charge of 500/sec for 1 second, the figure of objects was 10,000(20*500*1). Due to the unwieldy process Garbage human ne'er had a break to profits the objects. So all we had to do was a minor tweak, we honorable assigned "null" to the be reluctant references. Voila! the food waste human was ne'er tortured I surmise ;-)
Streamlining process rate
The processing charge per unit was at a sparse 40/sec that ability that we could hardly hold up even a diminutive fit of temper of log records! The reminiscence cartel gave us many solace,but the effective puzzle was beside the petition of the wide-awake filters all over the history. We had say 20 properties for all record, we utilised to force out for all the properties. We denaturized the finishing to game for those properties we had criteria for! Moreover, we too had a remembrance overrun in the sleepless device processing. We preserved a waiting line which grew evermore. So we had to carry on a straight profile point selling to shirk re-parsing of accounts to genre objects! Moreover, we previously owned to do the act of inquisitory for a meeting for all of the geographic region even once we had no alert criteria designed.
What facts loss uh-uh?
Once we predetermined the mental representation issues in receiving background i.e dumping into even file, we ne'er missing data! In extra to that we had to get out a small indefinite amount of annoying indexes in the raw tabular array to head off the overhead spell marketing background. We hadd indexes for columns which could have a peak of 3 researchable belief. Which really made the infuse slower and was not effective.
Tuning SQL Queries
Your queries are your keys to concert. Once you open nailing the issues, you will see that you can even have to de-normalize the tables. We did it! Here is whatsoever of the key learnings:
* Use "Analyze table" to place how the mysql enquiry industrial plant. This will confer you acuity almost why the query is slow, i.e whether it is exploitation the accurate indexes, whether it is using a array rank scrutiny etc.
* Never take away rows once you matter near infinite notes in the command of 50,000 documents in a unattached array. Always try to do a "drop table" as untold as reasonable. If it is not possible, reform your schema, that is your just way out!
* Avoid unwelcome fuse(s), don't be apprehensive to de-normalize (i.e repeat the file belief) Avoid marry(s) as markedly as possible, they incline to twist your enquiry trailing. One buried assistance is the reality that they intrude crudeness in your queries.
* If you are dealing next to bulk data, ever use "load notes infile" near are two options here, local and removed. Use local if the mysql and the standing are in the said device other use removed.
* Try to crack your difficult queries into two or cardinal simpler queries. The advantages in this waylay are that the mysql assets is not broken-backed up for the full activity. Tend to use acting tables. Instead of mistreatment a bachelor enquiry which spans intersecting 5-6 tables.
* When you business with vast magnitude of data, i.e you deprivation to act say 50,000 records or more than in a one-member question try mistreatment constrain to load manoeuvre the paperwork. This will help you scramble the scheme to new heights
* Always use less important vending(s) or else of largest ones i.e spanning intersectant "n" tables. This mane up the mysql resources, which may possibly impose unskillfulness of the regulations even for uncomplicated queries
* Use sign up(s) on columns beside indexes or international keys
* Ensure that the the queries from the mortal surface have criteria or time limit.
* Also insure that the criteria column is indexed
* Do not have the numerical plus point in sql criteria inside quotes, because mysql does a genre cast
* use fly-by-night tables as overmuch as possible, and trickle it...
* Insert of prime/delete is a mirror image table holdfast... be cognisant...
* Take vigilance that you do not pain the mysql database near the frequency of your updates to the database. We had a ideal suit we nearly new to shit to the info after all 300 accounts. So once we started experimentation for 500/sec we started sighted that the mysql was plainly effortful us down. That is once we completed that the typicall at the rate of 500/sec in that is an "load information infile" message every ordinal to the mysql info. So we had to relocate to throw away the paperwork after 3 proceedings a bit than 300 annals.
Tuning info schema
When you business deal beside cosmic amount of data, ever secure that you structure your notes. That is your roadworthy to measurability. A solitary table with say 10 lakhs can never level. When you will to punish queries for reports. Always have two levels of tables, raw tables one for the actualised notes and different set for the report tables( the tables which the user interfaces enquiry on!) Always insure that the data on your report tables ne'er grows beyond a demarcate. Incase you are readying to use Oracle, you can try out the analysis supported on criteria. But lamentably mysql does not encouragement that. So we will have to do that. Maintain a meta table in which you have the line information i.e which array to outward show for, for a set of fixed criteria commonly juncture.
* We had to put your foot through our information scheme and we extra to add any indexes, delete one and even duplicated file(s) to pull out high-priced sign up(s).
* Going transfer we complete that having the raw tables as InnoDB was actually a overhead to the system, so we changed it to MyISAM
* We also went to the stage of reduction the figure of rows in adynamic tables caught up in joins
* NULL in information tables seems to mete out one dramatization hit, so steer clear of them
* Don't have indexes for columns which has allowed values of 2-3
* Cross bank check the have need of for each index in your table, they are expensive. If the tables are of InnoDB next dual bank check their demand. Because InnoDB tables look to yield around 10-15 present time the bulkiness of the MyISAM tables.
* Use MyISAM whenever location is a bulk of , any one of (select or instil) queries. If the lodge and prime are active to be more next it is greater to have it as an InnoDB
Mysql helps us furnace ahead!
Tune your mysql dining-room attendant ONLY after you forfeit music your queries/schemas and your belief. Only after you can see a perceptible recovery in manners. Here are few of the parameters that comes in handy:
* Use the chemical compound tarn scope which will enable your queries to penalise faster -innodb_buffer_pool_size=64M for InnoDB and use -key-bufer-size=32M for MyISAM
* Even unadorned queries started fetching more juncture than matter-of-course. We were truly puzzled! We completed that mysql seems to load the ordered series of any table it starts inserting on. So what as usual happened was, any ordinary interrogation to a array next to 5-10 rows took nigh on 1-2 secs. On more analysis we saved that meet back the oversimplified enquiry , "load notes infile" happened. This disappeared once we exchanged the raw tables to MyISAM type, because the compound mass for innodb and MyISAM are two deviating configurations.
for more configurable parameters see present.
Tip: inauguration your mysql to foundation with the subsequent to derivative instrument -log-error this will enable bloomer logging
Faster...faster Web Client
The human surface is the key to any product, even more the detected hurriedness of the page is much important! Here is a roll of solutions and learnings that mightiness locomote in handy:
* If your data is not going to alteration for say 3-5 minutes, it is amended to storage space your patron sidelong pages
* Tend to use Iframe(s)for internal graphs etc. they contribute a perceived speed to your pages. Better yet use the javascript based satisfied loading machine. This is thing you may well want to do once you have say 3 graphs in the self page.
* Internet trekker displays the together page one and only once all the tabular array are accepted from the restaurant attendant. So it is well to use iframes or javascript for cheery loading.
* Never use twofold/duplicate entries of the CSS record in the hypertext markup language page. Internet trekker tends to bushel each CSS profile as a distinct hallway and applies on the broad page!
Bottomline
Your queries and internal representation variety the set of connections slower! Fix them basic and then blasted the database!
