Greenplum 优化CASE - 对齐JOIN字段类型,使用数组代替字符串,降低字符串处理开销,列存降低扫描开销

2 minute read

背景

Greenplum通常被用作OLAP,在一些用户使用过程中,可能因为数据结构设计,SQL问题等原因导致性能不佳,虽然通过增加节点可以解决问题,但是如果能优化的话,可以节约不少硬件资源。

例如

1、对齐JOIN字段类型。如果等值JOIN的字段类型不一致,无法使用HASH JOIN。

2、对齐where条件字段类型。同上,无法使用HASH JOIN,或者索引扫描。

3、使用数组代替字符串,降低字符串处理开销。如果字符串本身需要大量的格式化处理FILTER,那么使用数组的性能会好很多。

4、列存降低扫描开销,统计型的SQL由于涉及的字段有限,使用列存比行存储性能好很多。

例子

1、这个查询耗费230秒。

SELECT col4,count(DISTINCT c.col1) ptnum  
     from tbl1 a  
     INNER JOIN tbl2 b on b.col2=a.id  
     inner join tbl3 t2 on t2.ID <= (length(b.col3) - length(replace(b.col3,',',''))+1)   
     INNER JOIN tbl4 c   
     on replace(replace(Split_part(reverse(Split_part(reverse(Split_part(b.col3,',',cast(t2.id as int))),',',1)),':',1),'{',''),'"','') = c.id  
     INNER JOIN tbl5 s on a.col4=s.id  
     where replace(replace(reverse(Split_part(Split_part(reverse(Split_part(b.col3,',',cast(t2.id as int))),',',1),':',1)),'"',''),'}','') >'0'   
     and c.col1 not in ('xxxxxx')  
     GROUP BY col4;  

2、使用explain analyze分析瓶颈

3、问题:

3.1、JOIN类型不一致,导致未使用HASH JOIN。

3.2、有两个表JOIN时产生笛卡尔积来进行不等于的判断,数据量叠加后需要计算几十万亿次。

tbl2.col3字符串格式如下(需要计算几十万亿次)

{"2":"1","10":"1","13":"1","16":"1","21":"1","26":"1","28":"1","30":"1","32":"1","33":"1","34":"1","35":"1","36":"1","37":"1","39":"1","40":"1","99":"2","100":"2","113":"1","61":"1","63":"4","65":"2"}  

3.3、使用了行存储,查询时扫描的量较大,并且无法使用向量计算。

优化

1、使用列存代替行存(除nestloop的内表tbl3,继续使用索引FILTER)

create table tmp_tbl1 (like tbl1) WITH (APPENDONLY=true, ORIENTATION=column);  
insert into tmp_tbl1 select * from tbl1;  
create table tmp_tbl4 (like tbl4) WITH (APPENDONLY=true, ORIENTATION=column);  
insert into tmp_tbl4 select * from tbl4;  
create table tmp_tbl5 ( like tbl5) WITH (APPENDONLY=true, ORIENTATION=column);  
insert into tmp_tbl5 select * from tbl5;  
create table tmp_tbl2 (like tbl2) WITH (APPENDONLY=true, ORIENTATION=column) distributed by (col2);  
insert into tmp_tbl2 select * from tbl2;  

2、使用array代替text

alter table tmp_tbl2 alter column col3 type text[] using (case col3 when '[]' then '{}' else replace(col3,'"','') end)::text[];  

修改后的类型、内容如下

digoal=> select col3 from tmp_tbl2  limit 2;  
                                                    col3                                                       
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------  
 {63:1,65:1,70:1,71:1,73:1,75:1,77:1,45:3,78:1,54:2,44:1,80:1,36:1,84:1,96:2}  
 {2:2,10:1,13:1,16:1,30:1,107:1,26:1,28:1,32:1,33:1,34:1,35:1,36:1,37:1,39:1,99:2,100:2,113:1,40:1,57:1,63:2,64:1,65:4}  
(2 rows)  

3、join 字段保持一致

alter table tmp_tbl2 alter column col2 type int8;  

4、将原来的查询SQL修改成如下(字符串处理变成了数组)

(本例也可以使用二维数组,完全规避字符串处理。)

SELECT col4,count(DISTINCT c.col1) ptnum  
     from tmp_tbl1 a  
     INNER JOIN tmp_tbl2 b on b.col2=a.id  
     inner join tbl3 t2 on t2.ID <= array_length(col3,1)  -- 更改  
     INNER JOIN tmp_tbl4 c   
     on split_part(b.col3[cast(t2.id as int)], ':', 1) = c.id   
     INNER JOIN tmp_tbl5 s on a.col4=s.id  
     where split_part(b.col3[cast(t2.id as int)], ':', 2) > '0'   
     and c.col1 not in ('xxxxxx')  
     GROUP BY col4;

性能提升

原来SQL响应时间: 230秒

修改后SQL响应时间: < 16秒

小结

瓶颈分析

1、JOIN时不等条件,必须使用笛卡尔的方式逐一判断,所以如果FILTER条件很耗时(CPU),那么性能肯定好不到哪去。

2、原来大量的reverse, split, replace字符串计算,很耗时。刚好落在笛卡尔上,计算数十万亿次。

3、JOIN字段类型不一致。未使用HASH JOIN。

4、分析SQL,未使用列存储。

优化手段

1、array 代替字符串。

2、改写SQL

3、对齐JOIN类型。

4、使用列存储。

5、保留的NESTLOOP JOIN,内表保持行存储,使用索引扫描。(如果是小表,可以使用物化扫描,更快)

6、analyze table;
