Description Dominik Pospisil 2013-06-14 12:04:56 UTC
Description of problem:

I am seeing performance degradation of certain perf tests in JPP 6.1.ER1 compared to JPP 6.0.GA.

Seems that only standalone non-clustered setup is affected. Stacktrace of loaded server shows lots of threads waiting for a lock at:

Also, if <distributable/> element is removed from portal.war's web.xml, performance is back to normal.

Results of single node stress test scaling only to 1500 clients:

Results of single node stress with <distributable/> element removed scaling up to 7000 clients:
https://jenkins.mw.lab.eng.bos.redhat.com/hudson/view/EPP/view/EPP/view/6.1/view/Performance/view/Stress-tests/job/epp6_portal_perf_singlenode/33/

Similar results obtained in singlenode soak test.

Unfortunately, this is to be expected with such scenario in default configurations, because in 6.1 added support for session persistence has been added to non-HA profile. The sessions now survive app upgrades, restarts, crashes, etc. The cache is *write-through*; compared to 6.0 where there has been no session persistence at all. So in the end, its apple-to-oranges comparison.

To revert to original 6.0 behaviour, simply remove the 'local-web' cache store.

* Option to investigate to keep the functionality but configure the cache store as write-behind, see https://docs.jboss.org/author/display/ISPN/Write-Through+And+Write-Behind+Caching
* Note that standalone-full-ha.xml is intended as the production profile IIRC, whereas standalone.xml is mroe or less the developer profile.

Verified (CR3).
