Doc Type: Bug Fix
Doc Text:
Cause: Low limit for client throttling. Consequence: Due to increasing number of CRDs installed in the cluster the requests reaching for API discovery were limited by the client code. Fix: Increase the limit number twice the current limit. Result: The client-side throttling should appear less frequently.

Description Simon Reber 2020-11-19 15:27:37 UTC
Description of problem:

In large OpenShift 4 environments we are seeing messages "Throttling request took 1.183079627s, request: GET: ..." when running simple "oc get -A pod". This is related to the amount of objects and CRD's in the OpenShift 4 - Cluster. 

As increasing `config.Burst` helps we would like to have this applied in all `oc` version to prevent the issue from happening.

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

 - 4.5 and 4.6

How reproducible:

 - Always (depending on the numbers of CRD's in the OpenShift - Cluster

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Add many CRD's to OpenShift 4 and add workloads
2. Run `oc get -A pod`

Actual results:

The `oc` command will run but report `Throttling request took 1.183079627s, request: GET: ...`

Expected results:

The `oc` command should run without client side throttling.

We are facing the same problem. Here is what happens when we delete a pv (via oc and tridentctl):

and almost every other oc command is throttled, too. 

Here is a list with of the CRDs:

Cluster Utilization seems okay:
CPU: 90-120 / 248 
RAM: 900-1200 GB/ 2550 GB
Network ~100 MBps on idle / ~ 500 MBps peek
Pods: 2,5 - 3,2k

Setup is 3 Master / 2 Infra/ 12 Compute nodes in total.

Any suggestion is welcome.

Comment 9 Mike Fiedler 2020-12-09 13:54:07 UTC
@sreber  Can you estimate total # of CRDs in the cluster when you hit this?   Looking for a reproducer to verify the fix.
You can run this Python2 script to  count them:  https://github.com/openshift/svt/blob/master/openshift_tooling/list_all_resources/list_all.py

e.g. python2 list_all.py -c -s all -o count | tee list.out 

It will take a while as it iterates all CRD types.

Comment 11 Mike Fiedler 2020-12-10 20:23:15 UTC
@soltysh Tested this with:

Client Version: 4.7.0-0.nightly-2020-12-09-112139
Server Version: 4.7.0-0.nightly-2020-12-09-112139

It is better than 4.5 but with enough groups/CRDs it starts happening again.

4.5:  create 100 CRDs in 100 groups, oc get on any of the CRDs gets throttling messages
4.7:  create 100 CRDs in 100 groups, oc get succeeds, no throttling
4.7:  create 200 CRDs in 200 groups, oc get on any of the CRDs gets throttling messages

Do we want to call this good enough for 4.7?   Raising the point where we hit this?  If so,  you can move this back to ON_QA

The default cluster comes with ~100 CRDs, and getting throttling at that was a problem.
If you're saying that we're hitting it at 200 I think that gives us about 100 CRDs 
room, which is sufficient at least for the time being. If we notice these numbers
are not sufficient we can definitely bump them higher. So I'm moving this back to qa.

Comment 17 Jens Reimann 2020-12-18 08:40:12 UTC
As this is not only annoying, but also limits throughput of requests (because throttling actually happens), what is the workaround for 4.6?

I took my while to finally end up in this bugzilla issue? It would have really helped my is this was listed in the "Known Issues" section? -> https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/4.6/release_notes/ocp-4-6-release-notes.html#ocp-4-6-known-issues

Comment 23 Chet Hosey 2021-01-11 17:30:22 UTC
We're at 173 CRDs on a test cluster that has been upgraded from 4.1 through to 4.6, and uses OCS, and a few items from Operator Hub (virtualization, JBoss operator, service mesh, pipelines, metering, etc.). CLI operations are noticeably slower than when the cluster was still on 4.4, and they're slower than on our production cluster (which is still at 4.4).

200 seems like a pretty low threshold once you start enabling components that are deployed via Operator Hub.

Comment 24 Jens Reimann 2021-01-12 09:06:33 UTC
Same here. Having a 4.1 cluster upgraded all the way to 4.6, and having things like Service Mesh, Serverless, SSO, Pipelines, etc installed via OperatorHub I am already at "221" CRDs. Assuming that people are expected to install more services/components via Operators you should probably target a much higher number.

Comment 25 Maciej Szulik 2021-01-12 11:53:20 UTC

hello,

IHAC (tkt#02774693) on 4.6 and started deleting CRDs in his cluster where this was being seen and noted that the threshold for throttling msgs apparently is 158 CRDs in his cluster: 159 CRDs, the throttling msgs started again in his output. is this something thats configurable by the user or can this threshold only be set at install or is hard-coded?

thnx, m

Verified on 4.7.0-0.nightly-2021-01-18-144603

Created 200 CRD on top of OOTB CRDs and no throttling messages
Created 250 CRD on top of OOTB CRDs and saw very rare throttling messages - much less seldom than when creating 200 CRDs with the limit set to 200.

we are running on 4.6.12 and have 253 CRDS and we are continually seeing this throttling issue.
Can we increase the limit over 250 and will this be pulled back into 4.6.x release.

Yes, this was bumped to 250 and a cherry-picked into 4.6 (https://github.com/openshift/oc/pull/716)
should be present in the upcoming .z stream release.

Comment 37 Chet Hosey 2021-01-28 09:44:17 UTC
Why isn’t this user-configurable?

Better yet, why is there an arbitrary threshold beyond which users get annoying warnings and delays?

How does this enhance the user experience? Is there any benefit at all to this behavior, and where is it explained?

(In reply to Chet Hosey from comment #37)
> Why isn’t this user-configurable?

It is not expected to be user-configurable since this is one of the several layers of 
preventing the server from being exhausted with requests. Specifically retrieving
complete discovery information requires reaching to many endpoints and thus is limited.

Sorry, what is the .z stream -- will it be in the stable-4.6.x so we can apply on AMD64

Why 250 when we have problems at 253? shouldn't the number be much higher

yeah, the next stable release should contain it. 

> Why 250 when we have problems at 253? shouldn't the number be much higher

That was a safe middle-ground number according to our tests. The actual
numbers will differ from installation to installation but we didn't want to
go to extremes with this setting.

Thanks for your reply, what is that next target release - 4.6.13? Can you please confirm

Yeah, I think that should be that.

Comment 43 Chet Hosey 2021-01-28 14:17:06 UTC
As a user that sees `oc` invocations stalled seemingly at random I wonder if the cure is worse than the disease.

Right now it still isn't clear how this behavior is supposed to be helpful.

Is there documentation that would clarify?

if this is not user-configurable it should be "auto-tuned"! depending of the actual numbers of CRDs
I am running 4.7.0.fc-5 with less than 200 CRDs (by removing Service Mash - 31 CRDs!) and still get the error

Comment 48 Jens Reimann 2021-02-11 16:00:29 UTC
If I understood the problem correctly, it is a client side issue.

I had my cluster updated to 4.6.16 and still had the issue. After updating the "oc" client to 4.6.16, the issue was gone.

I guess this actually is an issue in the upstream Go client for Kubernetes. As I saw the same problem in the keycloak operator, which started to throttle as well. It might also be that "kubectl" has the same limitation.

Is it documented anywhere why “randomly slow down the client when too many Red-Hat-supported features are enabled” is a feature in the first place?

It would really be nice to have an explanation around who benefits from this behavior. Why does this exist at all?

@maciej, will this fix be backported to 4.6?

Happen to come across here and I'd like to know whether the throttling will also impact the application deployment on OCP. Our env have 400+ CRDs and I can always see the throttling message when I run every single oc command! More worse is that one our application which includes tons of operators has failed to be deployed to this env for quite long time. Some pods were not successfully up and running. I'm suspecting this is also caused by the throttling, because I'm supposing this also issue would also happen in many Go operators' code where they may use Go client for Kubernete and could fail.

This is indeed the case. I already saw a few solutions, building on top of the Go based Kubernetes client to throttle as well. ArgoCD, the Keycloak operator, but also tools like the Helm command line tool.

Using tools not created on top of this library doesn't suffer from this behavior. So maybe using Rust or Java is an alternative :D

I also noticed that the message that gets written out has improved a bit. It now specifically mentions "client side" throttling, which is an improvement I guess.

Alright, so, with that, I guess just to upgrade OCP to a newer version of 4.6.x, such as 4.6.37, which appears to be the latest 4.6 release at the moment, would not resolve the issue, because this issue comes from the client side, where I see the fix went into oc, can probably resolve the issue from command line. However, those Kubernetes go clients are being referenced inside each go operator code, the issue will still happen, even both OCP and oc are upgraded, unless we modify the go operator code.

Don't forget to update you oc binary. I was having the issue with oc 4.5.0 and a cluster on 4.7.22 with a few additional CRD (argo, jaeger, ipam, etc...).

I've updated oc to 4.7.0-202107261701.p0.git.8b4b094.assembly.stream-8b4b094 and the problem disappeared.
