Ingest performance degrades sharply along with the documents having more fileds

I try to measure the performance of ingesting the documents having lots of
fields.

The latest elasticsearch 1.2.1:
Total docs count: 10k (a small set definitely)
ES_HEAP_SIZE: 48G
settings:
{"doc":{"settings":{"index":{"uuid":"LiWHzE5uQrinYW1wW4E3nA","number_of_replicas":"0","translog":{"disable_flush":"true"},"number_of_shards":"5","refresh_interval":"-1","version":{"created":"1020199"}}}}}

mappings:
{"doc":{"mappings":{"type":{"dynamic_templates":[{"t1":{"mapping":{"store":false,"norms":{"enabled":false},"type":"string"},"match":"_ss"}},{"t2":{"mapping":{"store":false,"type":"date"},"match":"_dt"}},{"t3":{"mapping":{"store":false,"type":"integer"},"match":"*_i"}}],"_source":{"enabled":false},"properties":{}}}}}

All fields in the documents mach the templates in the mappings.

Since I disabled the flush & refresh, I submitted the flush command (along
with optimize command after it) in the client program every 10 seconds. (I
tried the another interval 10mins and got the similar results)

Scenario 0 - 10k docs have 1000 different fields:
Ingestion took 12 secs. Only 1.08G heap mem is used(only states the used
heap memory).

Scenario 1 - 10k docs have 10k different fields(10 times fields compared
with scenario0):
This time ingestion took 29 secs. Only 5.74G heap mem is used.

Not sure why the performance degrades sharply.

If I try to ingest the docs having 100k different fields, it will take 17
mins 44 secs. We only have 10k docs totally and not sure why ES perform so
badly.

Anyone can give suggestion to improve the performance?

It's not surprising that the time increases when you have an order of
magnitude more fields.

Are you using the bulk API?

I used the curl command to do the ingestion(one command, one doc) and
flush. I also tried the Solr(disabled the soft/hard commit & do the commit
with client program) with the same data & commands and its performance did
not degrade. Lucene are used for both of them and not sure why there is a
big difference with the performances.

Hi, Mark:

We are doing single document ingestion. We did a performance comparison
between Solr and Elastic Search (ES).
The performance for ES degrades dramatically when we increase the metadata
fields where Solr performance remains the same.
The performance is done in very small data set (ie. 10k documents, the
index size is only 75mb). The machine is a high spec machine with 48GB
memory.
You can see ES performance drop 50% even when the machine have plenty
memory. ES consumes all the machine memory when metadata field increased to
100k.
This behavior seems abnormal since the data is really tiny.

We also tried with larger data set (ie. 100k and 1Mil documents), ES throw
OOW for scenario 2 for 1 Mil doc scenario.
We want to know whether this is a bug in ES and/or is there any workaround
(config step) we can use to eliminate the performance degradation.
Currently ES performance does not meet the customer requirement so we want
to see if there is anyway we can bring ES performance to the same level as
Solr.

Below is the configuration setting and benchmark results for 10k document
set.
scenario 0 means there are 1000 different metadata fields in the system.
scenario 1 means there are 10k different metatdata fields in the system.
scenario 2 means there are 100k different metadata fields in the system.

Hi,

Could you post the scripts you linked to (new_ES_config.sh,
new_ES_ingest_threads.pl, new_Solr_ingest_threads.pl) inlined? I can't
download them from where you linked.

Optimizing every 10 seconds or 10 minutes is really not a good idea in
general, but I guess if you're doing the same with ES and Solr then the
comparison is at least "fair".

It's odd you see such a slowdown with ES...

I tested roughly your Scenario 2 (100K unique fields, 100 fields per
document) with a straight Lucene test (attached, but not sure if the list
strips attachments). Net/net I see ~100 docs/sec with one thread ... which
is very slow.

Lucene stores quite a lot for each unique indexed field name and it's
really a bad idea to plan on having so many unique fields in the index:
you'll spend lots of RAM and CPU.

Can you describe the wider use case here? Maybe there's a more performant
way to achieve it...

The way we make Solr ingest faster (single document ingest) is by turn off
the engine soft commit and hard commit and use a client to commit the
changes every 10 seconds.

Solr ingest speed remains at 800 docs per second where ES ingest speed
drops in half when we increase the fields (ie. from 1000 to 10k).
I have asked Maco to send you the requested script so you can do more
analysis.

If you can help to solve the first level ES performance degradation (ie.
1000 to 10k) as a starting point, that will be the best.

We do have real customer scenario that require large amount of metadata
fields, that is why this is a blocking issue for the stack evaluation
between Solr and Elastic Search.

Thanks!
Cindy

Since I disabled the flush & refresh, I submitted the flush command (along

Scenario 0 - 10k docs have 1000 different fields:
Ingestion took 12 secs. Only 1.08G heap mem is used(only states the used

Scenario 1 - 10k docs have 10k different fields(10 times fields compared

This time ingestion took 29 secs. Only 5.74G heap mem is used.

Not sure why the performance degrades sharply.

If I try to ingest the docs having 100k different fields, it will take 17

badly.

Anyone can give suggestion to improve the performance?

Hi,

Could you post the scripts you linked to (new_ES_config.sh,

download them from where you linked.

Optimizing every 10 seconds or 10 minutes is really not a good idea in
general, but I guess if you're doing the same with ES and Solr then the
comparison is at least "fair".

It's odd you see such a slowdown with ES...

Hi, Mark:

We are doing single document ingestion. We did a performance comparison
between Solr and Elastic Search (ES).
The performance for ES degrades dramatically when we increase the
metadata fields where Solr performance remains the same.
The performance is done in very small data set (ie. 10k documents, the
index size is only 75mb). The machine is a high spec machine with 48GB
memory.
You can see ES performance drop 50% even when the machine have plenty
memory. ES consumes all the machine memory when metadata field increased to
100k.
This behavior seems abnormal since the data is really tiny.

We also tried with larger data set (ie. 100k and 1Mil documents), ES
throw OOW for scenario 2 for 1 Mil doc scenario.
We want to know whether this is a bug in ES and/or is there any
workaround (config step) we can use to eliminate the performance
degradation.
Currently ES performance does not meet the customer requirement so we
want to see if there is anyway we can bring ES performance to the same
level as Solr.

Below is the configuration setting and benchmark results for 10k document

scenario 0 means there are 1000 different metadata fields in the system.

  • ES: flush, refresh are disabled

I tried your script with setting iwc.setRAMBufferSizeMB(40000)/ and 48G
heap size. The speed can be around 430 docs/sec before the first flush and
the final speed is 350 docs/sec. Not sure what configuration Solr uses and
its ingestion speed can be 800 docs/sec.

I tested roughly your Scenario 2 (100K unique fields, 100 fields per

is very slow.

Lucene stores quite a lot for each unique indexed field name and it's
really a bad idea to plan on having so many unique fields in the index:
you'll spend lots of RAM and CPU.

Can you describe the wider use case here? Maybe there's a more performant
way to achieve it...

Well, probably the difference is threads? That simple Lucene test uses
only 1 thread, but your ES/Solr test uses 10 threads.

I think the cost in ES is how the MapperService maintains mappings for all
fields; I don't think there's a quick fix to reduce this cost.

But net/net you really need to take a step back and re-evaluate your
approach here: even if you use Solr, indexing at 800 docs/sec using 10
threads is awful indexing performance and this is because Lucene itself has
a high cost per field, at indexing time and searching time. E.g. have you
tried opening a searcher once you've built a large index with so many
unique fields? The heap usage will be very high. Tested search
performance on that searcher? Merging cost will be very high, etc.

Lucene is just not optimized for the "zillions of unique fields" case,
because you can so easily move those N fields into a single field; e.g. if
this is just for simple term filtering, make a single field and then as
terms insert "fieldName:fieldValue" as your tokens.

If you insist on creating so many unique fields in your use case you will
be unhappy down the road with Lucene ...

Hi, Mike:

Since both ES and Solr uses Lucene, do you know why we only see big ingest
performance degradation with ES but not Solr?

Are you suggesting that if our customer require large amount of Metadata
field, even Solr won't be able to provide decent performance when ingest
and search are happening concurrently?

Thanks!

I try to measure the performance of ingesting the documents having lots of

The latest elasticsearch 1.2.1:
Total docs count: 10k (a small set definitely)
ES_HEAP_SIZE: 48G
settings:

{"doc":{"settings":{"index":{"uuid":"LiWHzE5uQrinYW1wW4E3nA","number_of_replicas":"0","translog":{"disable_flush":"true"},"number_of_shards":"5","refresh_interval":"-1","version":{"created":"1020199"}}}}}

mappings:

{"doc":{"mappings":{"type":{"dynamic_templates":[{"t1":{"mapping":{"store":false,"norms":{"enabled":false},"type":"string"},"match":"_ss"}},{"t2":{"mapping":{"store":false,"type":"date"},"match":"_dt"}},{"t3":{"mapping":{"store":false,"type":"integer"},"match":"*_i"}}],"_source":{"enabled":false},"properties":{}}}}}

All fields in the documents mach the templates in the mappings.

Since I disabled the flush & refresh, I submitted the flush command (along
with optimize command after it) in the client program every 10 seconds. (I
tried the another interval 10mins and got the similar results)

Scenario 0 - 10k docs have 1000 different fields:
Ingestion took 12 secs. Only 1.08G heap mem is used(only states the used
heap memory).

Scenario 1 - 10k docs have 10k different fields(10 times fields compared
with scenario0):
This time ingestion took 29 secs. Only 5.74G heap mem is used.

Not sure why the performance degrades sharply.

If I try to ingest the docs having 100k different fields, it will take 17
mins 44 secs. We only have 10k docs totally and not sure why ES perform so
badly.

Anyone can give suggestion to improve the performance?

I'm not sure why: clearly something is slow with ES as you add more and
more fields. I think it has to do with how it manages its mappings.

Are you suggesting that if our customer require large amount of Metadata
field, even Solr won't be able to provide decent performance when ingest
and search are happening concurrently?

Exactly. Even if you/we fixed ES's slowness as you add tons of fields, or
if you went with Solr, you're still going to see poor
indexing/merging/searching performance because Lucene itself doesn't scale
very well to so many fields: this use case (tons of fields) has never been
a priority for Lucene developers because it's typically easy for the
application to change its approach to not use so many fields.

Two things to add, to make Elasticsearch/Solr comparison more fair.

In the ES mapping, you did not disable the _all field.

If you have _all field enabled, all tokens will be indexed twice, one for
the field, one for _all.

Also you may want to disable ES codec bloom filter

because loading the bloom filter consumes significant memory.

Not sure why you call curl from perl, since this adds overhead. There are
nice Solr/ES perl clients to push docs using bulk indexing.

Hi,

Could you post the scripts you linked to (new_ES_config.sh,
new_ES_ingest_threads.pl, new_Solr_ingest_threads.pl) inlined? I can't
download them from where you linked.

Optimizing every 10 seconds or 10 minutes is really not a good idea in
general, but I guess if you're doing the same with ES and Solr then the
comparison is at least "fair".

It's odd you see such a slowdown with ES...

Hi, Mark:

We are doing single document ingestion. We did a performance comparison
between Solr and Elastic Search (ES).
The performance for ES degrades dramatically when we increase the
metadata fields where Solr performance remains the same.
The performance is done in very small data set (ie. 10k documents, the
index size is only 75mb). The machine is a high spec machine with 48GB
memory.
You can see ES performance drop 50% even when the machine have plenty
memory. ES consumes all the machine memory when metadata field increased to
100k.
This behavior seems abnormal since the data is really tiny.

We also tried with larger data set (ie. 100k and 1Mil documents), ES
throw OOW for scenario 2 for 1 Mil doc scenario.
We want to know whether this is a bug in ES and/or is there any
workaround (config step) we can use to eliminate the performance
degradation.
Currently ES performance does not meet the customer requirement so we
want to see if there is anyway we can bring ES performance to the same
level as Solr.

Below is the configuration setting and benchmark results for 10k
document set.
scenario 0 means there are 1000 different metadata fields in the system.
scenario 1 means there are 10k different metatdata fields in the system.
scenario 2 means there are 100k different metadata fields in the system.
scenario 3 means there are 1M different metadata fields in the system.

I have asked Maco to re-test ES with these two parameter disabled.

One more question regard Lucene's capability with large amount of metadata
fields. What is the largest meta data fileds Lucene supports per Index?
What are different strategy to solve the large metadata fields issue? Do
you recommend to use "type" to partition different set of meta data fields
within a index?
I will clarify with our team regard their usage for large meta data fields
as well.

badly.

Anyone can give suggestion to improve the performance?

Hi Cindy,

There isn't a hard limit on the number of field Lucene supports, it's more
than per-field there is highish heap used, added CPU/IO cost for merging,
etc. It's just not a well tested usage of Lucene, not something the
developers focus on optimizing, etc.

Partitioning by _type won't change things (it's still a single Lucene
index).

How you design your schema really depends on how you want to search on
them. E.g. if these are single-token text fields that you need to filter
on then you can index them all under a single field (say allFilterFields),
pre-pending your original field name onto each token, and then at search
time doing the same (searching for field:text as your text token within
allFilterFields).

Hi Jörg,

I rerun the benchmark with disabling the _all and codec bloom filter: just
the index data size got reduced dramatically but ingestion speed is still
similar as previous:

We ingested one single doc once, instead of bulk ingestion, and that was
our real world requirements.

scripts to disable _all/bloom filer:
curl -XPOST localhost:9200/doc -d '{
"mappings" : {
"type" : {
"_source" : { "enabled" : false },
"_all" : { "enabled" : false },
"dynamic_templates" : [

}
}},
{"t3":{

Two things to add, to make Elasticsearch/Solr comparison more fair.

In the ES mapping, you did not disable the _all field.

If you have _all field enabled, all tokens will be indexed twice, one for
the field, one for _all.

Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale | Elastic

Also you may want to disable ES codec bloom filter

Elasticsearch Platform — Find real-time answers at scale | Elastic

because loading the bloom filter consumes significant memory.

Not sure why you call curl from perl, since this adds overhead. There are
nice Solr/ES perl clients to push docs using bulk indexing.

Looks like the memory usage increased a lot with 10k fields with these two
parameter disabled.

Based on the experiment we have done, looks like ES have abnormal memory
usage and performance degradation when number of fields are large (ie.
10k). Where Solr memory usage and performance remains for the large number
fields.

If we are only looking at 10k fields scenario, is there a way for ES to
make the ingest performance better (perhaps via a bug fix)? Looking at the
performance number, I think this abnormal memory usage & performance drop
is most likely a bug in ES layer. If this is not technically feasible then
we'll report back that we have checked with ES experts and confirmed that
there is no way for ES to provide a fix to address this issue. The solution
Mike suggestion sounds like a workaround (ie combine multiple fields into
one field to reduce the large number of fields). I can run it by our team
but not sure if this will fly.

I have also asked Maco to do one more benchmark (where search and ingest
runs concurrently) for both ES and Solr to check whether there is any
performance degradation for Solr when search and ingest happens
concurrently. I think this is one point that Mike mentioned, right? Even
with Solr, you think we will hit some performance issue with large fields
when ingest and query runs concurrently.

Thanks!

I've opened an ES issue to address the slowdown as more and more unique
fields are added via dynamic templates:

The solution Mike suggestion sounds like a workaround (ie combine multiple
fields into one field to reduce the large number of fields). I can run it
by our team but not sure if this will fly.

Well, I think both Solr and ES (once we fix the above issue) will still
have high cost if you index so many fields, since they both are based on
Lucene.

One simple but effective approach, whether you use Solr or ES, is to use
nested documents, where the parent document holds any "common" fields
across all of your documents, and then each child document has two fields,
key and value. key holds the original field name you wanted to index, and
value holds the original field value, so you have as many child documents
as you had field+values to index for your original document. This approach
has worked well in other applications that needed so many fields...

It essentially changes the wide range of field names and field values
instead, which Lucene handles very well. It results in more, smaller
documents, but this scales out well as you add nodes.
