parallel gather | gathermerge - enable leader worker process

PG并行计算框架中,并行任务由计算进程执行,计算进程执行的结果,由GATHER(leader process)收集再转交下一个节点。

PG有一个开关parallel_leader_participation,允许leader process参与计算任务,即不是空等所有计算进程。

换句话说说,有点像领导和小弟一起干一样的活,所有人活都干完后,领导依旧需要把结果汇总进行下一个环节。

1、parallel_leader_participation设置为ON,表示领导和小弟一起干活,再将结果汇总进行下一步。

2、parallel_leader_participation设置为OFF,表示领导不干小弟的活,而是等所有小弟干完,再将结果汇总进行下一步。

parallel_leader_participation (boolean)

Allows the leader process to execute the query plan under Gather and Gather Merge nodes instead of waiting for worker processes.

The default is on.

Setting this value to off reduces the likelihood that workers will become blocked because the leader is not reading tuples fast enough,
but requires the leader process to wait for worker processes to start up before the first tuples can be produced.

The degree to which the leader can help or hinder performance depends on the plan type, number of workers and query duration.

开启1个并发时,很好观察到这个现象。

parallel_leader_participation设置为ON

parallel_leader_participation设置为OFF

数据量:10亿

parallel leader process 10亿 186 秒 95 秒 1 2 倍

1、关闭并行,耗时: 186 秒。

实际上不是关闭并行,而是关闭parallel_leader_participation

SET  
  
postgres=# explain analyze  select * from (select * from table2 order by i) t where i<1000 limit 1000000;

1、优化器自动并行度算法 CBO

《PostgreSQL 11 并行计算算法,参数,强制并行度设置》

2、function, op 识别是否支持parallel

postgres=# select proparallel,proname from pg_proc;  
 proparallel |                   proname  
-------------+----------------------------------------------  
 s           | boolin  
 s           | boolout  
 s           | byteain  
 s           | byteaout  

3、subquery mapreduce unlogged table

对于一些情况,如果期望简化优化器对非常非常复杂的SQL并行优化的负担,可以自己将SQL拆成几段,中间结果使用unlogged table保存,类似mapreduce的思想。unlogged table同样支持parallel 计算。

4、vacuum,垃圾回收并行。

5、dblink 异步调用并行

《PostgreSQL VOPS 向量计算 + DBLINK异步并行 - 单实例 10亿 聚合计算跑进2秒》

《PostgreSQL 相似搜索分布式架构设计与实践 - dblink异步调用与多机并行(远程 游标+记录 UDF实例)》

《PostgreSQL dblink异步调用实现 并行hash分片JOIN - 含数据交、并、差 提速案例 - 含dblink VS pg 11 parallel hash join VS pg 11 智能分区JOIN》

暂时不允许并行的场景(将来PG会继续扩大支持范围):

1、修改行,锁行,除了create table as , select into, create mview这几个可以使用并行。

2、query 会被中断时,例如cursor , loop in PL/SQL ,因为涉及到中间处理,所以不建议开启并行。

3、paralle unsafe udf ,这种UDF不会并行

4、嵌套并行(udf (内部query并行)),外部调用这个UDF的SQL不会并行。(主要是防止large parallel workers )

5、SSI 隔离级别
