High cpu usage (90-100%) on elastic search servers

Han_2 · June 5, 2013, 12:47am

we are going live with elasticsearch and as soon as we put production load
cpu spikes to 90-100%.. wondering whats causing the issue.

here is cluster info:
es version: 0.90.0
5 nodes each with following config:
64gb ram
ES_MIN_MEM = ES_MAX_MEM and set to 32gb
24 core

3 indices

5 shards, 4 Replicas
5 shards, 4 Replicas
2 shards, 4 replicas

total documents 5 million, and the total size of the indices = 45GB

attaching the the result of hotthreads command.

would appreciate your help on this.

Thanks.

A few questions:

What is you search load? How many requests per second. From the
hotthreads I see most of the time spend on searching.
What kind of searches are you executing? If possible, can you perhaps
them share examples of your queries via a gist?
How much of the heap space are you actually using? You can see this via
the node stats api (with jvm flag): http://localhost:9200/_nodes/stats?jvm

Thanks Martijn for your response. Please see my response inline.

Search load is 250 rps on a cluster of 5 beefy servers with 24core, 64GB
memory. The search response times with this load is less than a second and
is acceptable to us. Its just that CPU is shooting upto 100% with this load
and is dying after sometime.

What kind of searches are you executing? If possible, can you perhaps
them share examples of your queries via a gist?

Here is the gist of our query, most of our queries are like this with
little bit of changes.

query · GitHub

I see that you use the top level filter. Unless you are also using facets
(which is not case here), I would recommend putting all filters in the
filtered query. Also if you upgrade to version 0.90.1 I would use the
bool filter over the and, or and not filter in your case. This will
most likely execute your query in a more efficient manner. In 0.90.0 there
is a bug in the bool filter.

Are you highlighting on large fields? If so I would maybe enable term
vectors ("term_vector" : "with_positions_offsets") for these fields. This
will make your index larger, but highlighting will be much faster.

The actual heap usage (at most 3.9GB) is way lower than the allocated heap.
I assume you're not using faceting, script or sorting by a field, right? If
that is the case I'd lower the ES_HEAP_SPACE to something like 5GB. This
way you give the filesystem cache more space. Lucene (The underlying search
library the ES uses) depends a lot on the filesystem cache to execute
queres. The more space is available in the filesystem cache the more Lucene
index files end up in it and this will result in faster queries.

Will try that. but do you think its due to having not enough memory for
Lucene file system cache? we have a total of 64gb memory on each and we
have allocated half of it (32gb) to ES_HEAP_SPACE.

We do not have faceting or script but we do have "sorting" in our queries.

I'm not 100% sure, but in general it is a waste to allocate a big heap
space and not use it. While the actual memory can be used if it is not
allocated to ES. I also expect garbage collections to be faster with
smaller jvm's. Btw what Java version are you using?

Are you sorting by score or a field?

We are using version 7.0.210.11

Regarding sorting, most of the time we are using the default sorting
provided by ES (which is sort by the score), on very few queries we do have
sorting based on a couple of numeric fields.

Is that OpenJDK? If yes, you should give the latest official Oracle JDK 7
a try. There have been quite a few issues like this popping up and the
common theme seems to be OpenJDK.

I see that you use the top level filter. Unless you are also using
facets (which is not case here), I would recommend putting all filters in
the filtered query. Also if you upgrade to version 0.90.1 I would use the
bool filter over the and, or and not filter in your case. This will
most likely execute your query in a more efficient manner. In 0.90.0 there
is a bug in the bool filter.

Are you highlighting on large fields? If so I would maybe enable
term vectors ("term_vector" : "with_positions_offsets") for these fields.
This will make your index larger, but highlighting will be much faster.

https://gist.github.com/**anonym******ous/5715994 https://gist.github.com/anonymous/5715994

I see that you use the top level filter. Unless you are also
using facets (which is not case here), I would recommend putting all
filters in the filtered query. Also if you upgrade to version 0.90.1 I
would use the bool filter over the and, or and not filter in your
case. This will most likely execute your query in a more efficient manner.
In 0.90.0 there is a bug in the bool filter.

Are you highlighting on large fields? If so I would maybe
enable term vectors ("term_vector" : "with_positions_offsets") for these
fields. This will make your index larger, but highlighting will be much
faster.

Was this with or without changing the filters in your search requests and
lowering the ES_HEAP_SIZE?

You're also having 4 replicas shards, so in total 5 copies of your data.
Each shard (primary and replica) takes up resources. A single shard can
take all your system resources if it requires so. For this reason just
having 4 replica shards doesn't help improving read performance on its own,
you also need to have the machines for this. High availability can just be
achieved by having 1 replica per shard. So maybe just set
index.number_of_replicas to 1?

cpu at 75% avg is when we reduced the rps from 250 to 200. regardless of
ES_HEAP_SIZE. Also, we did not change the filters in high level query since
we need to boost the results based on filter criteria. As you can see we

We can give it a try, but with 4 replica shards it became easier for us to
take down a node and add it back since the data is replicated on every
server. Also, with 1 replica we have noticed the load is not properly
distributed on all servers and since we have really beefy machines we
thought it does not hurt to keep 4 replicas. We can give it a try. Is there
any guideline on how many replicas are needed?

Simon, thank you for your response.

The problem with 100% cpu is, with a 5 node cluster we should be able to
take a node out for maintenance without affecting cluster health. With 5
nodes in cluster if the cpu is at 100%, we are not sure if we can take down
one of the nodes.. just wanted to be on the safer side and keep the cpu
lower.

We did not do any custom settings on the thread pool sizes.. but we do
notice quite a lot threads open on each node

this is from node stats api:

"threads" : {
"count" : 277,
"peak_count" : 280
}

Was this with or without changing the filters in your search requests
and lowering the ES_HEAP_SIZE?

cpu at 75% avg is when we reduced the rps from 250 to 200. regardless of
ES_HEAP_SIZE. Also, we did not change the filters in high level query since
we need to boost the results based on filter criteria. As you can see we
have two sets of filters (1. for boosting the score 2. filtering out
documents).

You're also having 4 replicas shards, so in total 5 copies of your data.
Each shard (primary and replica) takes up resources. A single shard can
take all your system resources if it requires so. For this reason just
having 4 replica shards doesn't help improving read performance on its own,
you also need to have the machines for this. High availability can just be
achieved by having 1 replica per shard. So maybe just set
index.number_of_replicas to 1?

We can give it a try, but with 4 replica shards it became easier for us
to take down a node and add it back since the data is replicated on every
server. Also, with 1 replica we have noticed the load is not properly
distributed on all servers and since we have really beefy machines we
thought it does not hurt to keep 4 replicas. We can give it a try. Is there
any guideline on how many replicas are needed?

one more observation: when we changed the load from 250 rps to 200 rps
cpu went down to 75% on avg.

Nope. its official Oracle JDK 7.

Is that OpenJDK? If yes, you should give the latest official
Oracle JDK 7 a try. There have been quite a few issues like this popping
up and the common theme seems to be OpenJDK.

We are using version 7.0.210.11

Regarding sorting, most of the time we are using the default
sorting provided by ES (which is sort by the score), on very few queries we
do have sorting based on a couple of numeric fields.

I'm not 100% sure, but in general it is a waste to allocate a
big heap space and not use it. While the actual memory can be used if it is
not allocated to ES. I also expect garbage collections to be faster with
smaller jvm's. Btw what Java version are you using?

Are you sorting by score or a field?

Will try that. but do you think its due to having not enough
memory for Lucene file system cache? we have a total of 64gb memory on each
and we have allocated half of it (32gb) to ES_HEAP_SPACE.

We do not have faceting or script but we do have "sorting" in
our queries.

The actual heap usage (at most 3.9GB) is way lower than the
allocated heap. I assume you're not using faceting, script or sorting by a
field, right? If that is the case I'd lower the ES_HEAP_SPACE to something
like 5GB. This way you give the filesystem cache more space. Lucene (The
underlying search library the ES uses) depends a lot on the filesystem
cache to execute queres. The more space is available in the filesystem
cache the more Lucene index files end up in it and this will result in
faster queries.

also, we have already enabled term vectors on the fields
that we are doing the highlights.

Thanks Martin.. i will look at the "bool" filter and see if
we can upgrade to 0.90.1, i will keep you posted.

What kind of searches are you executing? If possible,

can you perhaps them share examples of your queries via a gist?

Here is the gist of our query, most of our queries are
like this with little bit of changes.
https://gist.github.com/**anonym********ous/5715994 https://gist.github.com/anonymous/5715994

I see that you use the top level filter. Unless you are
also using facets (which is not case here), I would recommend putting all
filters in the filtered query. Also if you upgrade to version 0.90.1 I
would use the bool filter over the and, or and not filter in your
case. This will most likely execute your query in a more efficient manner.
In 0.90.0 there is a bug in the bool filter.

Are you highlighting on large fields? If so I would maybe
enable term vectors ("term_vector" : "with_positions_offsets") for these
fields. This will make your index larger, but highlighting will be much
faster.
