we are experiencing issues with CI where it fails with race: limit on
8128 simultaneously alive goroutines is exceeded, dying
this, despite the fact that closing the executor should clean up all
worker goroutines. Apparently in CircleCI runtime.NumCPU() reports 36,
so the goroutines added up quickly.
the size of the work chan probably doesn't matter... there is some
discussion of this on the associated PR
https://github.com/pilosa/pilosa/pull/2034
may test with an unbuffered channel as well.
Closing the executor avoids leaking goroutines which seems to be an
issue while running the test suite.
Pilosa previously spawned a goroutine for each remote node that a
query needed to be forwarded to, and then forwarded a single request
containing all the shards that the query should operate on. It then
spawned a goroutine *per local shard* to process the query
locally. This was fine if there weren't too many shards, or too many
queries coming in concurrently, but we found that it created issues
when there were 100s or 1000s of shards per node, and dozens of
queries arriving concurrently.
Specifically, the memberlist "hiccup" issue is highly correlated with
many goroutine scenarios, and after applying this patch, memberlist
complaints in the logs were much decreased, and nodeLeave events under
concurrent query load almost entirely eliminated.
This patch creates a fixed size pool of goroutines to do local shard
processing, and passes work to them through a channel, one job per
query per shard. Handling of remote requests (forwarding queries) is
unchanged.
We set the pool size to NumCPU()+8 somewhat arbitrarily, but this
seemed to work pretty well in our testing on 32 core machines. It's a
pretty big improvement over launching a goroutine per shard per query
which is what we were doing previously, so we can tune it more later
if necessary.
This commit implements BSI with variable bit depth using a
sign magnitudeto indicate whether a value is positive or negative.
This also rearranges the existence bit to be the first bit instead
of the last bit.
This commit periodicially checks if the context has been cancelled
or if a deadline has been reached. If so, it returns a query-related
error message depending on the cause.
