Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Cause: S3 communication library was not efficient enough to support high loads of data. Consequence: Some pushes to the docker registry ended up taking relatively long. Fix: Upgrade both docker distribution code along with S3 driver. Result: Improved stability and performance of docker push operations.

Description Mike Fiedler 2016-03-03 13:27:03 UTC
Created attachment 1132789 [details]
Sample config for Docker S3

Description of problem:

During concurrent build testing to put stress on the registry push process with S3 Docker backend storage, tests are seeing two types of push performance:  a) "normal"/fast pushes to the registry and b) extremely slow pushes.   Operations has reported a similar experience with their online test beds.

Configuration (cluster and S3 storage all on us-west-2):
   - Single master
   - Two router nodes
   - One registry node configured for S3 (attached)
   - 10 worker nodes for builds

Example of the performance issue:
   - 10 projects, each with 1 app defined from the django-ex template
   - Build the 10 apps concurrently

Each build results in a push of ~6MB to the registry.   The "normal" pushes average 7-8 seconds/push.   However, without any configuration change I've been able to identify yet, when the problem occurs, all builds average 3-4 minutes/push.   


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

3.1.1.908

How reproducible:  Difficult.  Intermittent problem


Steps to Reproduce:
1.  Create the configuration described above or a configuration capable of concurrent builds
2.  Configure S3 as the backend storage (sample attached)
3.  Create 10 projects and 10 new applications
4.  Build all applications repeatedly and watch the push times in the build logs

Actual results:

Registry push times vary from 7 seconds to 4 minutes fro django-ex.   The times do not vary randomly (from what has been seen so far anyways) but will either all be fast or all slow.

Expected results:

Consistent average push times in line with the quantity of data being transferred.

Additional info:

mmasters and dmace are aware of this.   Origin issue https://github.com/openshift/origin/issues/7740 has been created to add pprof instrumentation to help track this down.

Comment 1 Mike Fiedler 2016-03-03 13:31:48 UTC
IMO this is not directly actionable right now.  Further investigation required.  Next steps.

1. Run with the new profiling when available.  Get profiling for fast and slow.
2. Continue trying to determine what triggers the slow behavior.  Is it purely an S3 thing?
3. Gather wireshark/tcpdump data for fast and slow behavior.  In both cases many TCP resets are seen during TLS handshake (mainly in the direction of the registry node -> S3) - relevant?

Comment 2 Mike Fiedler 2016-03-15 17:30:36 UTC
I've confirmed that what I was seeing is the same thing ops is seeing with slow pushes in their staging environment.   When the problem triggers (I've been unable to come up with a guaranteed trigger),  the S3 request logs show a pattern of 10 second idle periods between bursts of requests.   We opened a ticket with Amazon and they see no throttling on their side and have asked that we do tracing/logging on the application side to see what responses we are getting from the S3 API.


@pweil @miminar, I think we should consider removing UpcomingRelease,   This seems to be a blocker or ops that is under sporadic active investigation.

Comment 4 Mike Fiedler 2016-03-16 14:03:43 UTC
After discussion with the QE lead, I am removing the UpcomingRelease tag from this so that it will show up for triage.  The operations team hit this again on 14 March and this would be a blocker in production.   I will continue to attempt to reproduce in a test environment - I've been unsuccessful recently.   The next step in either test or in ops staging would be to turn on docker registry debug and to run with a version of OpenShift which has pprof enabled for the registry.  Dan Mace and Miciah Masters are familiar with this.

Comment 5 Mike Fiedler 2016-03-17 01:26:30 UTC
One relevant point that came up during the Online/Performance meeting today is that the  ops staging env is 3.1.1.6 and the last build where I was able to reproduce the issue was 3.1.1.910 (early 3.2)

Comment 6 Maciej Szulik 2016-03-30 09:36:33 UTC
Waiting for the information from Mike about his finding.

pbench results during slow pushes can be found here:  http://perf-infra.ec2.breakage.org/incoming/ip-172-31-43-59/slow_push/

This should be directly comparable to results for a fast push of the same number of concurrent builds (5) from earlier the same day:  http://perf-infra.ec2.breakage.org/incoming/ip-172-31-43-59/5_builds_2_nodes_ssd/

S3 logs are showing the 10-second gap behavior described in comment 3.  I will attach when they are complete and show this time frame in full.

Created attachment 1144478 [details]
s3 request log for slow push event on 6 April 2016

Attached s3 log.  If you search for "19:00" you can see the timeframe that corresponds to the pprof.   Note the ~10 second gaps between batches of entries.  The pbench was later - just add +4hrs to the times in the pbench data to find the S3 logs - the 10 second gaps should be happenig then, as well.

The beginning of this log is representative of what the s3 request logs look like for fast/normal pushes.  No 10 second gaps.

Comment 14 Maciej Szulik 2016-04-07 12:34:19 UTC
Here are my initial finding:


docker registry pushes a layer and that completes immediately:

time="2016-04-06T15:00:08.504911485-04:00" msg="s3.PutContent(...715de692-205b-48d5-8cf9-38295ef5bd6f/hashstates/sha256/3040001
time="2016-04-06T15:00:08.505014056-04:00" msg="response completed" 

accompanying S3 log:

And the next operation is the one that is the root cause:

again registry:

Which means it takes almost 10 seconds for the request to get from registry to s3. Which is completely related to what Andy noticed in bug 1321968.

@Mike can you sync with Andy how to debug the DNS resolution part?

Comment 16 Paul Weil 2016-04-08 13:11:18 UTC
I am re-adding this to upcoming release to remove this from the 3.2 blocker list.  

Justification: while this has a high impact on performance the functionality is still working.  This is not an absolute blocker and doesn't seem to be a regression.  

We will continue to treat this as high priority.

Comment 17 Maciej Szulik 2016-04-08 14:01:40 UTC
Current finding are that the problems are cause ONLY in s3.GetContent or s3.Stat, from the logs we have. Looking into s3 driver code we've identified [1] as possible source of the problem. I'll keep investigating why we would be getting those retires.

*** Bug 1332285 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***

Comment 19 Stefanie Forrester 2016-05-23 19:03:27 UTC
On one customer cluster, Ops has found that restarting the docker-registry pods (scale down and then back up) temporarily speeds up docker push times. Frequent pruning helps too, but when pruning is not enough, a restart puts it back into a good state.

Comment 20 Mike Fiedler 2016-05-23 19:41:10 UTC
I have seen docker-registry restarts via scale down/up clear the issue as well.

Comment 21 Troy Dawson 2016-05-26 14:34:54 UTC
As an end user this get's really frustrating.  A push of several images that originally took 45 minutes (After a registry trim and restart of the nodes), is now up to 4 hours.
It's gradual, it took 2 months to get to this point, but it's at that point.

I know this isn't a blocker, the registries are still usable.  But as an end user, it's easier for us to find something else than continue to use a registry with an s3 backend.

Comment 24 Maciej Szulik 2016-06-28 09:16:47 UTC
With the new docker registry [1] comes different s3 driver, specifically it's using AWS driver instead of external one. According to tests done by Michal the performance should be greatly improved. Mike can I ask you to test it again with the tests you have? I remember you were quite good with reproducing this bug in almost no time ;)

Comment 25 Mike Fiedler 2016-06-28 15:38:17 UTC
This needs to be in a build to go ON_QA if I understand the process.   I think it should go to POST status until it is available in an OpenShift puddle.

Comment 26 Mike Fiedler 2016-06-29 01:29:18 UTC
The correct status is MODIFIED until it hits a puddle.  Learned something new...

Comment 27 Maciej Szulik 2016-06-29 08:35:24 UTC
So did I ;)

Comment 32 Maciej Szulik 2016-07-20 12:30:15 UTC
Based on previous comment moving to QA.

Comment 34 Mike Fiedler 2016-08-22 11:48:23 UTC
Should be resolved by https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1368024.

Making vlaad the QA contact - I will help him verify.

Comment 35 Mike Fiedler 2016-09-01 16:45:59 UTC
No slow S3 pushes have been seen during 3.3 SVT concurrent build testing or in repeated build testing specifically intended to hit this S3 slow push issue.   Marking verified.
