- 12. Vectorized Processing - Motivation • So far have focused on I/O throughput • Achieved 70-110MB/s in disk bound queries • Increasing customer demand for faster storages such as S AS disk and SSD • BMT with fast storage indicates performance likely CPU-bound rather than disk-bound • Current execution engine based on tuple-at-a-time approach
- 13. What is Tuple-at-a-time model? • Every physical operator produces a tuple by recursively calling next() of child operators tuples next() call Upside • Simple Interface • All arbitrary operator combinations Downside (performance degradation) • Too many function calls • Too many branches • Bad for CPU pipelining • Bad data/instruction cache hits
- 14. Performance Degradation Current implementation also uses: • Immutable Datum classes wrapping Java primitives – Used in expression evaluation and serialization Resulting in: • Object creation overheads • Big memory footprint (particularly inefficient in-memory op erations) • Expression trees – Each primitive operator evaluation involves function call

- 20. Benchmark Analysis • Much room for improvement • Each tuple evaluation may involve overheads in tuple-at-a-time model – not easy to measure cache misses and branch mispredictions • Each expression causes non-trivial CPU costs – Interpret overheads – Composite keys seem to degrade performance • Too many objects created (yourkit profiler analysis) – Difficult to avoid object creation to retain all tuples and datum instances used in in-memory operators • Hash aggregation – Java HashMap - effective, but not cheap – Non-trivial GC time found in other tests when distinct keys > 10M – Java objects - big memory footprint, cache misses

Editor's Notes
- Hi all, My name is Hyunsik. I’m going to present two trials for performance improvement in Tajo project.
- As you can see, this is the outline of my talk today. First of all, I’ll give a brief introduction to Apache Tajo for unfamiliar guys. And then, I’ll give our efforts to improve Tajo. First topic is query optimization. second topic is JIT-based vectorization engine. Even though there are two topics, in this talk, I’ll mostly cover JIT-based vectorized engine.
- Just a bit about myself. My name is Hyunsik Choi. [pronounce your name very slowly] I’m the Apache Tajo PMC Chair, and I’ve been a full-time contributor since June last year.
- If you’re not familiar with Apache Tajo, it is an open source “SQL-on-Hadoop” big data warehouse system. Tajo became an Apache Top-Level Project in March this year. Tajo supports SQL standards and it is designed for low-latency as well as long-running batch queries. Currently, Tajo supports most of standard SQL features, and recently, we’ve added window function and datetime type. Recently, we released 0.8.0 last month.
- Here, you can see the overall architecture of Tajo. Currently, a Tajo cluster consists of one Tajo master and a number of workers. The Tajo master acts as a gateway for clients and also manages cluster resources. QueryMaster is the actual master for each query. It is launched in one of workers when a query is submitted. QueryMaster generates plans, and then optimizes them, and controls the query stages. A local query engine processes the actual data. In this architecture, TajoMaster is only single point of failure. For that, we are working on TajoMaster HA issue.
- This figure shows how a query statement is transformed into a distributed execution plan. As you can see, the transformation goes through multiple steps including some optimization steps. In this talk, I explain the two optimization steps performed in logical plan optimizer and dag controller.
- Roughly, Logical optimizer rewrites queries and determine join order. For rewrite, projection push down and selection push down are basically performed in this step. Projection push down narrows the width of processing values as earlier as possible. And, selection push down reduces the number of rows to be processed as earlier as possible They all significantly reduce intermediate data. This step also determine the join order.
- The main goal of join ordering algorithm is to find the best join order among all possible join orders. For it, we use an heuristic called greedy operator order. At the first, this algorithm adds all relations into the remain relation set. Then, in loop, it finds the best join pair among remain relation set. The best join pair is inserted into the remain relation set as the join node. And then, continue it iteratively until all relations are joined. Finally, a sequence of selected best pairs are used as the optimized join order.
- As you may be aware, query optimization are based on statistics-based estimation or rules. So, the determined plans can be often suboptimal. Unlike OLTP system, suboptimal and analytical queries on big data may run possibly for hours instead of minutes. In order to solve this problem, Tajo tries to reoptmize the query plan in runtime by collecting statistic information from completed tasks. In the current implementation of this, Tajo uses the collected information to determine the proper range and/or number of partitions of a query. We are working on the issue to reoptimize join order and distributed join strategy.
- The second subject is about the prototype for next-generation execution engine. we are working on.
- So far, in terms of performance, we have focused on I/O throughput. As a result, we already achieved high throughput. In I/O bound queries, processing throughput reaches from 70 to 110MB/s. BTW, due to increasing customer demand for faster storage, we’ve carried out benchmark test on these storage. Interestingly, we observed that performance is likely to be CPU bound rather than I/O bounds. From this observation, we started the investigation on this issue. Firstly, we noted that the current execution engine is based on tuple-at-a-time approach.
- What is the tuple at a time model? This is a traditional query evaluation model, and many databases still use it. In Tuple-at-a-time, Each operator has next() function. Arbitrary physical operators are assembled into one physical operator tree. Then, a query evaluation is performed by iteratively calling a next() of root operator. Tuple-at-a-time is sufficient for OLTP systems, whereas it is unsuited to analytical processing systems. This is because, as you can see, it involves an iterative function call from a physical operator root. This call then invokes the next() function of its descendent operators recursively, meaning that in order to get one tuple, the call path is likely to be very deep. Also, each operator has to retain the operator state and plan information. As a result, it often causes data/instruction cache misses. Also, this approach involves many branches impeding CPU pipelining.
- Further to this, current implementation has additional performance degradation factors. Tajo uses Datum classes to wrap Java primitive types. According to our profiling, it results in many object creations and big memory footprint especially in in-memory operators. Tajo also uses an expression tree is used to represent and evaluate expressions. It causes interpret overheads. It has the similar problem as Tuple-at-a-time.
- In order to investigate related bottleneck points, we have carried out various benchmark tests. In this talk, I’ll show one benchmark breakdown using TPC-H Q1 shown in the slide This query is usually used to evaluate the computation throughput of dw system. As you can see, in the query, there are 8 aggregation functions and nested expressions. the query has a simple filter, as well as group by and order by clauses. However, the query results in only 4 group by keys. So, this query is good to reveal CPU time while minimizing other factors like GC.
- For this benchmark, we used TPC-H lineitem table with SF = 3. Basically, TPC-H generates a plain text table similar to a kind of CSV file. Parsing this kind of file consumes non-trivial CPU times. so, in order to minimize this cost, we converted this to a Parquet format file with the following options: And we use it in our benchmark.
- The HW environment for the test was as follows: To eliminate interference, we executed the query in a single thread and on a single machine. We directly invoked the next() function of the root of the physical operator tree. In benchmark, we still use SATA disk. This is because most of guys are more familiar with the I/O throughput on disks. And it is enough to expose our problem.
- TPC-H Q1 took about 22 seconds. To expose only CPU time, we also performed only a full scan The scan alone took about 10 seconds of the total time. So, we can assume that the total CPU time was 12 seconds; slightly more than half of the entire query processing time. Of course, it’s natural that complex queries consume CPU costs, but we see rooms for improvement.
- In order to investigate it in more detail, we broke the TPC-H Q1 query into parts. After slightly modifying some parts of the physical executors, we measured each part separately. Although there are only four distinct grouping keys, only grouping consumes more than 50% of entire CPU cost. According to my analysis, this cost includes groupby key hashing, hash lookup, and tuple navigation. Also, we can know that each aggregation function and its nested expressions consumes non-trivlal costs.
- In addition to that benchmark breakdown, we also analyzed query performance by using a profiler. From BMT and profiler, we were able to observe the following: Definitely, the query performance is affected by tuple-at-a-atime. But, in this benchmark, it is not easy to measure cashes misses and branch mispredictions. We will point it later. Also, each expression consumes significant CPU costs. In the current approach, too many objects are created. This is particularly hard to avoid in in-memory operators. Our hash aggregation also uses Java HashMap. It works well, but it’s not cheap. Also, according to our additional benchmark, we observed that rehashing causes GC frequently and java object has large memory footprint.
- Okay, I have mentioned performance degradation points to overcome. I’m going to present our trials to solve these problems. First, we are going to adopt vectorized processing. Vectorized processing evaluates expressions and relational operators in a columnar way. Also, we will use runtime bytecode generation for the vectorization primitives, and to eliminate some vectorization impediments. We have also designed an Unsafe-based in-memory structure for vectors and tuples, as well as an Unsafe-based Cuckoo HashTable.
- As you are probably aware, vectorization are originated in some database researches such as CStore, MonetDB and Vectorwise. Recently, Hive has also adopted this approach. The central idea of vectorization is to use primitive arrays for column chunks which can fit into CPU L2 cache. It also uses small and simple loop processing on primitive type arrays. Basically, this approach can significantly reduce branches and makes good use of CPU pipelining. Original research manually uses SIMD. But, In Java, it’s impossible to manually control them. In JAVA, we can just try to implement vectorization primitives satisfying the superword optimization condition described in JVM source code.
- Before I discuss Tajo’s vectorization, I’d like to briefly explain the concept of vectorized processing. First of all, I’m going to explain traditional two tuple memory structures: N array storage model and decomposition storage model. They are shortly called NSM and DSM. In NSM, column values in each row is are sequentially stored into memory space. In contrast, In the decomposition storage model (DSM), which is an old columnar memory structure model, all values in certain column are sequentially stored in memory.
- The DSM can be also represented as the left side figure. As I mentioned, the DSM model stores sequentially all values in certain column in memory space. BTW, most expressions consume multiple columns. In DSM, each expression evaluation processes corresponding values in certain columns at a time. So, DSM is likely to be bad cache hits. In order to solve this problem, the vectorization model was introduced. In vector mode, columns are divided into cache-fit-sized blocks. All expression evaluations are performed for each vector block.
- In vectorized processing, each expression element is evaluated by one primitive. For example, this primitive is add operator between long columns and integer columns. A Selection vector stores an array of indices of filtered values. If selection vector is given, It enables to compute only selected rows. As you can see, this approach uses a simple and small loop for each evaluation. There is no branch and it can make good use of CPU pipelining. Also, due to the cache-fit-sized vector, all evaluations are in-cache processing.
- This is a filter primitive. This primitive results in selection vector. This primitive checks if long column values are less than or equal to corresponding to integer columns. The array indices of only matched rows are stored to the selection vector. This seems to be a branch, and it is also represented as branch in JVM byte code. But, it is not a branch when it is translated to an x86 native code.
- In sum, in a vectorization model each primitive consumes vectors and outputs result vectors. When a selection vector is given, each primitive only processes selected column values. This figure shows an example of overall work of vectorized processing.
- So far, I explained the concept of vectorized processing. From now, I’m going to explain how we implement it. -- Tajo’s vectorized processing model has some additional features and modifications. First, we use an Unsafe-based in-memory structure for vectors. It’s for two main reasons. First is fast direct memory access, and second reason is more opportunities to use byte-level operations. We will also use runtime byte code generation to support vectorization. While vectorization itself reduces interpret overheads, there are still some remain elements involving interpret overheads. Composite key handling for groupby or sort and hash function for composite keys, and tuple navigation are good examples. If we generate them in runtime, we can get more performance benefits.
- This slide presents Tajo’s in-memory structure for vectors. We call this structure vectoried row block. As you can see, one vectorized row block has two memory areas. The fixed area is a single memory space, and this memory space is divided into several memory-aligned chunks by using offset and lengths. Each chunk is used as each vector. A variable area consists of a number of pages. Multiple variable-length values such as variable characters can be stored in a single page. If needed, additional pages are allocated dynamically. A vector for variable length type only stores the pointers to actual values in pages. Earlier, I mentioned more opportunities to use byte-level operations. One example is string comparison. We forked Guava’s FastButeComparisons to access string vectors. It compares string values in long values. Another example is hashing for composite key. It enable to handle composite key as a sequence of bytes.
- Vectorization itself requires a lot of primitives. Only for just arithmetic and compare primitives, we need primitives for all kinds of data types and operator types. In some projects, primitives are generated by using template techniques. However, we generate them using ASM in runtime as we believe it is cheaper to maintain the code. Also, we generate composite keys and hash functions in order to eliminate branching and nested loops.
- The performance gain of vectorized processing comes from in-cache processing and CPU-pipelining. Such performance benefits will only be realized if the other parts are also very efficient. For this reason, we designed an Unsafe-based Cuckoo hash table implementation. Inherently, Cuckoo hash has cache-friendly implementation. It does not use a linked list, and only one item is stored in each bucket. At worst, it guarantees constant lookup time. We tried to implement Cukcoo hash table with Unsafe memory allocation. Currently, this approach can be used for only fixed length hash bucket. for one hash table, we allocate a single memory space. Then, we divide the memory space into a number of fixed-sized chunks. Each chunk is used as a hash bucket. Our cukcoo hash table implementation is GC free and is very suited to analytical processing. We also designed bucket handler interface for custom bucket payload. This approach does not incur garbage collection even if we deal with a large hash table. Basically, Cukcoo hashing is very strong in read-intensive situation due to fast lookup. Also, if we make use of its cache locality, it can be faster several times than java Hash Map. Actually, hash group-by and join do not require deletion. They involve one insertation for each key and lots lookup. So, we believe cukcoo hashing is proper to this application.
- Here you can see the benchmark results from our enhancements. As you can see, it significantly reduces CPU times. In addition, we were surprised to find that it also improves I/O throughput. This means that only scan has been affected by the inefficient factors of Tuple-at-a-time approach.
- In sum, Tajo uses join order optimization by employing a greedy operator order, and re-optimizes a distributed plan in runtime. Also, we has developed a prototype for a JIT-based vectorization engine which significantly reduces CPU times.
