Replication throughput (TPS) without and with parallel replication

Terminology [1 of 2]
MySQL Terminology Updates in 2020:
https://dev.mysql.com/blog-archive/mysql-terminology-updates/
• master / slave à primary / replica
• the master of a slave à the source of a replica
This presentation uses above terminology, with below additions:
• Multi-Threaded Slave (MTS) à Multi-Threaded Replication (MTR)
• intermediary master à intermediary source or non-primary source
(Exceptions for citing content from before the terminology change)
3

Terminology [2 of 2]
From MySQL 8.0.22 (not in 5.7), new commands were introduced:
• START/STOP SLAVE à START/STOP REPLICA
• And more…
• Some missing: START REPLICA UNTIL SQL_AFTER_MTS_GAPS
From 8.0.26 (not in 5.7 either), new variables were introduced:
• log_slave_updates à log_replica_updates
• slave_parallel_workers à replica_parallel_workers
• And more…
Because this talk applies to 5.7, and not everyone is on 8.0-latest,
this presentation uses old command and variable names

Summary
• Replication reminders
• Why parallel replication is important (and complicated)
• How to enable parallel replication and what is LOGICAL_CLOCK
• How parallel replication works on replicas
• How dependency tracking works on primaries
• Benchmarks
• Closing thoughts
5

MySQL Replication
• The primary records transactions in a journal (binary logs), and replicas
• downloads the journal and saves them locally in the relay logs (IO thread)
• executes the relay logs on their local database (SQL thread)
• could also write binlogs to be themselves a source (log-slave-updates)

Other Replication Concepts: Durability
Persistence / Durability (D of ACID):
• Is there data lost after a crash ?
(different types of crash: MySQL process (mysqld) or OS (Linux))
• Parameters controlling durability: sync_binlog and trx_commit
(trx_commit is short for innodb_flush_logs_at_trx_commit)
• High Durability (HD) or no data lost after crashes
(sync_binlog = 1 and trx_commit = 1)
(most expensive / slower because flush to disk after each trx)
• No Durability (ND sometimes called low durability)
(sync_binlog = 0 and trx_commit = 2)
(faster, with data lost on OS crash, but no loss on mysqld crash)
• (Data lost for mysqld crash in case trx_commit = 0 but not covered here) 7

Other Replication Concepts: Group Commit
Group Commit is an optimization making high durability faster
• Before Group Commit (GC), each trx needed its disk flush
• With GC, many trx can be persisted in the same flush
à better write throughput on primaries with concurency
• (GC was introduced in MariaDB xx and then in MySQL 5.6)
• (Single threaded replication cannot Group Commit)
• (MariaDB 10.0 introduced Replica Group Commit)
8

From Single to Multi-Threaded Replication
Without MTR, a single CPU is used for applying writes on replicas:
• on the primary, many CPUs are used for writes (one per session)
WO MTR, a single read IO can be “in flight” for writes on replicas:
• this is a bottleneck, especially for high latency disks (cloud)
• on primary, many IOs can be in flights for writes (one per session)
WO MTR, no group commit on replicas:
• on the p., a single flush can persist many trx in binlogs and redo logs
• on replicas, flushing each trx is a bottleneck
Multi-Threaded Replication is a solution to all above problems 9

Challenges of Multi-Threaded Replication
But running transactions in parallel on replica is not trivial:
• Updating a row cannot be run in parallel with the insert of this row
• MTR implementation needs to keep data consistency
Enabling MTR is also not straightforward:
• Many parameters and complex tunning
MTR also still has some rough edges:
• In 5.7, START SLAVE UNTIL not supported with MTR (ok from 8.0.0)
• Latest -1 Percona Server 5.7 crashes on STOP SLAVE with MTR
(PS-8030: 5.7.27 to .36 affected and 8.0.17 to .21, Oracle MySQL not affected)
• I have also seen deadlock with PS 5.7.36, and rumor of another crash
(to be investigated, unknown if both in Percona Server and Oracle MySQL)

Solutions for MTR Data Consistency
• MySQL 5.6: schema based parallel replication
• MariaDB 10.0: group commit based parallel replication
• MariaDB 10.1: optimistic parallel replication
• Improvement on 10.0, probably the fastest solution, but high CPU cost
• MySQL 5.7: same schema parallel replication (Logical Clock)
• Not as fast as optimistic, but not wasteful in CPU
• MySQL 8.0: Write-Set improvement (still Logical Clock)
• Lot to say, including need for RBR and back-ported in 5.7.22
This talk is about Logical Clock in 5.7 and 8.0 11

Solutions for MTR Data Consistency
• MySQL 5.6: schema based parallel replication
• MariaDB 10.0: group commit based parallel replication
• MariaDB 10.1: optimistic parallel replication
• Improvement on 10.0, probably the fastest solution, but high CPU cost
• MySQL 5.7: same schema parallel replication (Logical Clock)
• Not as fast as optimistic, but not wasteful in CPU
• MySQL 8.0: Write-Set improvement (still Logical Clock)
• Lot to say, including need for RBR and back-ported in 5.7.22
This talk is about Logical Clock in 5.7 and 8.0 12

Enabling Parallel Replication
Set slave_parallel_type to LOGICAL_CLOCK
• This is the new default in 8.0.27
(was DATABASE before (schema-based solution of 5.6), including in 5.7)
(in 8.0.26, this variable is deprecated for dropping DATABASE support)
And set slave_preserve_commit_order to ON
• This is also the new default in 8.0.27(was OFF before, including in 5.7)
(more about this parameter later in the talk)
And set slave_parallel_workers to 2 or more
• New default to 4 in 8.0.27 (was 0 before including in 5.7)
These enable MTR, but are not sufficient for best throughput 13

What is LOGICAL_CLOCK ?
From the MySQL Reference Manual for LOGICAL_CLOCK:
• Transactions that are part of the same binary log group commit on a
source are applied in parallel on a replica.
• But this is not 100% exact (Bug#85977)
When using LOGICAL_CLOCK, MTR is scheduling trx on replica
using dependency tracking information from the binary logs:
• We will name these information Intervals
• By default, trx intervals are generated with Commit Timestamps
(which is close, but not strictly the same as group commit)
• Much better intervals can be generated with Write Set
(and Write Set is completely different to group commit) 14

Intervals
Each trx is tagged with two numbers in the binlogs (starting with 5.7):
• sequence_number: increasing id for each trx (not to confuse with GTID)
• last_committed: id of the latest trx on which this trx depends
The last_committed / sequence_number is the trx interval
Here an example of intervals from a real system:
15
mysqlbinlog $f | awk '$11 ~ "last_committed"{print $1,$2,$11,$12}'
[...]
#170206 20:08:33 last_committed=6201 sequence_number=6203

Parallel Scheduling on Replicas [1 of 4]
16
A transaction can be started when its last_committed and all
previous transactions have been executed
The intervals below mean that:
• When transaction #6203 (and all previous) have been executed,
transactions #6204, #6205 and #6206 can be started
• When transaction #6205 (and all previous) have been executed,
transaction #6207 can be started

17
Trx #6204 and #6205 (and #6206) can be run in parallel but #6205
could complete before #6204
slave_preserve_commit_order (SPCO) does what you expect:
• If SPCO is OFF, #6205 can commit before #6204
• If SPCO is ON , #6205 waits for #6204 completion before committing
SPCO to OFF generates data states that never existed on the primary
• Use with care (you probably want ON most of the time)

SPCO to OFF generates data states that never existed on the primary
• Use with care (you probably want ON most of the time)
Also, SPCO to OFF generates temporary gaps in GTIDs
• For filling the gaps, use START SLAVE UNTIL SQL_AFTER_MTS_GAPS
SPCO to ON needed log_slave_updates until 8.0.19 (Bug#75396)
Before 5.7.33 and 8.0.23, SPCO to ON could deadlock (Bug#89247)
• If replication gets stuck, kill -9 mysqld (no data lost unless trx_commit = 0)
• Thanks Percona / Venkatesh for the fixing this, but…
• But I have recently seen deadlocks in PS 5.7.36: not fully fixed 18

19
When run in parallel, trx could fail to execute (below from the doc):
• If replication fails to execute a trx because of an InnoDB deadlock or
the trx's execution time exceeded innodb_lock_wait_timeout…
Such failed trx will be retried (below more from the doc):
• …it automatically retries slave_transaction_retries times before
stopping with an error.
The column COUNT_TRANSACTIONS_RETRIES from the the P_S
table replication_applier_status indicates how many retries
have happened, and the table repl._app._status_by_worker
contains details about the retries

Reminder: What is LOGICAL_CLOCK ?
From the MySQL Reference Manual for LOGICAL_CLOCK:
• Transactions that are part of the same binary log group commit on a
source are applied in parallel on a replica.
• But this is not 100% exact (Bug#85977)
When using LOGICAL_CLOCK, MTR is scheduling trx on replica
using dependency tracking information from the binary logs:
• We will name these information Intervals
• By default, trx intervals are generated with Commit Timestamps
(which is close, but not strictly the same as group commit)
• Much better intervals can be generated with Write Set
(and Write Set is completely different to group commit) 20

Commit Timestamps [1 of 3]
Commit Timestamps (CTS) is the default for 5.7 and 8.0
(binlog_transaction_dependency_tracking = COMMIT_ORDER)
It is a dependency tracking method exploiting parallelism on the
source to generate the intervals:
• While running a DML, the current trx notes the last committed trx
(this is where last_committed from mysqlbinlog is coming from)
(this is close to Group Commit, but not strictly the same)
Without tunning, CTS is not producing efficient intervals
(by default, MTR will not give much better replication speed) 21

In below, the update id=3 ran while the update id=1 was not yet committed:
• Insert id=4 and update id=1 can run in parallel on a replica
• (Note that nothing commit at the same time à no group commit)
Session #1: CREATE TABLE t(id INT PRIMARY KEY, v INT);
Session #1: INSERT INTO t VALUES (1,1),(2,2),(3,3);
Session #2: BEGIN; UPDATE t SET v = 11 WHERE id = 1;
Session #3: UPDATE t SET v = 33 WHERE id = 3;
Session #1: INSERT INTO t VALUES (4,4);
Session #2: COMMIT;
#220410 11:21:47 last_committed=0 sequence_number=1 -- CREATE
#220410 11:21:49 last_committed=1 sequence_number=2 –- INSERT id=1,2,3
#220410 11:21:55 last_committed=2 sequence_number=3 -- UPDATE id=3
#220410 11:21:59 last_committed=3 sequence_number=4 –- INSERT id=4
#220410 11:22:03 last_committed=2 sequence_number=5 -- UPDATE id=1 22

More binlog: note that the DML order is different from the commit order
mysqlbinlog $f |
awk '$11 ~ "last_committed"{print $1,$2,$11,$12} $10 ~ "_rows|Xid"{print $1,$2,$10}'
#220410 11:21:49 last_committed=1 sequence_number=2 -- INSERT id=1,2,3
#220410 11:21:49 Write_rows:
#220410 11:21:49 Xid
#220410 11:21:55 Update_rows:
#220410 11:21:55 Xid
#220410 11:21:59 last_committed=3 sequence_number=4 -- INSERT id=4
#220410 11:21:59 Write_rows:
#220410 11:21:59 Xid
#220410 11:21:52 Update_rows:
#220410 11:22:03 Xid
23

Tunning Commit Timestamp
If very few trx run in parallel, or if commit is quick (auto-commit, very
fast disks or low durability), CTS do not identify much parallelism
(low durability: sync_binlog != 1 and trx_commit != 1)
A solution is to delay commit for having more transactions running
in parallel, which leads to better interval generation:
• binlog_group_commit_sync_delay
• binlog_group_commit_sync_no_delay_count
I call this slowing-down the primary to speed-up the replicas
But performing this tunning just looking at replica speed is tedious24

Intervals Quality
To ease the tunning, I came-up with a metric for interval quality:
• the Average Modified Interval Length (AMIL)
It is based on the following observation:
• the larger the intervals are, the better MTR throughput will be
All the details about the AMIL in
http://jfg-mysql.blogspot.com/2017/02/metric-for-tuning-parallel-replication-mysql-5-7.html
Computing the AMIL needs parsing the output of mysqlbinlog
for extracting interval information, MySQL should make this easier:
• Bug#85965: Expose, on the master, counters for monitoring // information quality
• Bug#85966: Expose, on slaves, counters for monitoring // information quality 25

Tunning Commit Timestamps with AMIL [1 of 2]
Monitoring the AMIL provides an immediate tunning feedback:
• After increasing binlog_group_commit_sync_delay, the AMIL
should increase (if not, increase more for better parallel replication,
or rollback for not penalizing commit latency)
But while doing this, also look at the commit-rate of the primary:
• If the commit-rate noticeably drop, consider reverting the tuning
(it is penalizing the application throughput)
But penalizing throughput might be ok for solving replication lag:
• lowering the primary throughput from 200 to 100 tps might be
acceptable to increase replica throughput from 50 to 150 tps 26

Tunning Commit Timestamps with AMIL [2 of 2]
AMIL without and with tuning on four primaries:
(speed-up the replicas by increasing binlog_group_commit_sync_delay)
27

Other Commit Timestamp Tunning
28
To alleviate drop in throughput caused by delay,
increase the number of operations done in parallel in MySQL
Also, more transactions run in parallel by the application leads to
more parallelism identified by Commit Timestamps and better
replication speed on replicas

CTS and Non-Primary Sources
Without MTR, CTS leads to no parallelism identification on replicas
Similarly, even with MTR and compared to the primary,
less parallelism is identified on replicas by Commit Timestamps:
• MTR loses efficiency when replicating from a non-primary source
Also, after promoting a replica as the new primary, its binlogs have
smaller intervals than the one from the old primary:
• Using these leads to less efficient MTR (eg: after restore backup)
With SBR, no good solutions to that (except Binlog Servers)
https://medium.com/booking-com-infrastructure/better-parallel-replication-for-mysql-14e2d7857813 29

Write Set [1 of 4]
If using RBR, a better dependency tracking method can be used:
• Write Set was developed for Group Replication (in MySQL 5.7)
• It can also be used for dependency tracking (introduced in 8.0)
• It was back-ported in 5.7.22 (thanks Oracle for this back-port)
The Write Set is a data structure used to generate intervals:
• It stores a hash of all primary keys (and unique keys) modified by trx
(tunable size with binlog_transaction_dependency_history_size)
The intervals generated by Write Set on replicas are as good as on
the primary (and better if the primary is using CTS)
(Write Set can be used on a RBR replica of a SBR source) 30

Write Set [2 of 4]
Enabling Write Set dependency tracking (on both primary and replicas):
• Set BTDT to WRITESET (or WRITESET_SESSION)
(BTDT for binlog_transaction_dependency_tracking)
• This needs TWSE to XXHASH64 (or MURMUR32)
(TWSE for transaction_write_set_extraction)
• Which also needs binlog_format to ROW
With BTDT to WRITESET, a second trx run by a single session does
not depend on the first:
• With BTDT to WRITESET, SPCO should be enabled on replica
• Or set BTDT to WRITESET_SESSION on the primary
(not a good setting for replicas, we will come back to this) 31

Write Set [3 of 4]
In below, updates id=3 and id=1, and insert id=4 can execute in parallel:
• Without SPCO (and the update), insert id=4 could commit before id=1,2,3
SET GLOBAL binlog_transaction_dependency_tracking = WRITESET;
Session #2: COMMIT;

Barriers in Parallel Scheduling on Replicas
In below, the update id=3 (seq_no 3) depends on the multi-value insert:
• Parallel transaction scheduling blocks until the dependent trx completes
A dependent transaction acts as a barrier in parallel scheduling:
• Even if insert id=4 could be run at the same time as the multi-value insert,
the update id=3 prevents this
This might change in a future MySQL version
(it is also the M in AMIL – Modified)

Write Set [4 of 4]
If running with slave_preserve_commit_order to OFF,
WRITESET_SESSION avoid inconsistencies: insert id=4 runs after id=1,2,3
SET GLOBAL binlog_transaction_dependency_tracking = WRITESET_SESSION;
Session #2: COMMIT;

Write Set and Non-Primary Sources
We can enable Write Set on intermediary source:
• Even on a single-threaded replica
• But we should use BTDT to WRITESET because
WRITESET_SESSION would create new dependencies
(without MTR, all intervals of WRITESET_SESSION are of size one)
• This solves the CTS interval degradation on intermediary source
This was done to get the first (E*) benchmark results (in 2017):
• Primary in 5.7 (pre .22),
intermediary source in 8.0 with WRITESET, replica with MTR
This is useful to “try” MTR before big migration:
• SBR to RBR for Write Set, or 5.6 to 5.7 for MTR 35

AMIL for Write Set [1 of 2]
AMIL from a CTS primary and a Write Set intermediary source:
• The primary does not need RBR, only the intermediary source does
• Write Set AMIL is usually better than untuned and tunned CTS
36

AMIL for Write Set [2 of 2]
Sometimes, combining delay with Write Set gives a better AMIL:
• Discovered by accident, tunning opportunity?, more research needed
(Write Set AMIL below 3x better with delay compared to without)
37

More Tunning: Smaller Transaction Sizes
Because transaction scheduling sometimes/often blocks (barriers
and dependencies), some replica workers might be idle or waiting
on another transaction completion:
• In the worse case, many workers are waiting for a single big trx
These big trx reduce the potential for speedups:
• Avoiding big transactions in the application will make MTR faster
Ironically, when commit was expensive, or to amortize round-trip to
database, doing many things in a single (big) trx was / is the right
thing to do, but this makes MTR run slower 38

Recommended Settings for MTR Readiness
Without RBR, CTS is the only available dependency tracking
à not worth “preparing” for MTR (implement and tune when needed)
With RBR and MySQL 8.0:
• binlog_transaction_dependency_tracking to WRITESET
• slave_parallel_type to LOGICAL_CLOCK (new default in 8.0.27)
• slave_preserve_commit_order to ON (new default in 8.0.27)
With RBR and MySQL 5.7, all above plus:
• transaction_write_set_extraction to XXHASH64
(this is the default in 8.0)
With these, faster repl. only needs updating slave_parallel_workers

Thoughts on MySQL 8.0.27 new Defaults
In MySQL 8.0.27 we have:
• slave_parallel_type to LOGICAL_CLOCK
• slave_preserve_commit_order to ON (was OFF before)
• and slave_parallel_workers to 4 in 8.0.27 (was 0 before)
But intervals are still generated with Commit Timestamps:
• Having 4 workers will probably not improve replication speed much
• But this opens possibility for MTR rough-edges
Enabling parallel replication by default might be a little early
and when these bugs will be fixed, Write Set should also be enabled
40

Benchmark
Benchmarks done a few years ago and at HubSpot:
• Used 0 to 256 threads (slave_parallel_workers)
• E1 to E8: different environments / workloads (2017-2018)
• F1 to F4: more environments / workloads (from HubSpot)
• HD: High Durability: sync_binlog = 1 and trx_commit = 1
• ND: No Durability: sync_binlog = 0 and trx_commit = 2
• IS: Intermediary Source: with log_slave_updates
• NO: No Order: slave_preserve_commit_order = OFF
• (WO: with order: slave_preserve_commit_order = ON)
• (RB: replica with binary logs: without log_slave_updates)
41

Benchmark Presentation [1 of 2]
42
E5 IS-HD Single-Threaded: 6138 seconds
E5 IS-ND Single-Threaded: 2238 seconds
Going from HD to ND for E5 IS gives a speedup of 2.74

Benchmark Presentation [2 of 2]
All in a single graph:
• HD et ND: previous speedups
• HD vs ND single threaded: the speedup from HD to ND
43

Old Benchmark Setup
The test environments involve three nodes:
+---+ +---+ +---+
| A | -------> | B | -------> | C |
+---+ +---+ +---+
• A is a production primary (MySQL 5.6 or 5.7: this was in 2017-2018)
• Some of the primaries are SBR, some are RBR
• B is a MySQL 8.0.3 Intermediary Source in RBR with Write Set
(transaction_write_set_extraction = XXHASH64)
(binlog_transaction_dependency_tracking = WRITESET)
• C is a replica where timing is done 44

Previous Benchmark Results [1 of 2]

Previous Benchmark Results [2 of 2]
Observations:
• High variation of speedups, very workload dependent
(probably possible to do better if spending time optimizing the application)
• HD gives better speedups than ND (normal because group commit)
• ND gives some interesting speedups, but do not expect 16x faster
not possible to use all CPUs of modern hardware on replica for writes

HubSpot Benchmark Setup
The test environments involve two nodes:
+---+ +---+
| A | -------> | B |
+---+ +---+
• A is a production primary (Percona Server 5.7.36 with Write Set)
(transaction_write_set_extraction = XXHASH64)
(binlog_transaction_dependency_tracking = WRITESET)
• B is a replica where timing is done
47

HubSpot Benchmarks
Observations:
• Higher HD speedups for F{1,2} than E*
• Better HD vs ND single-threaded
for F* than E* (F1 being much better)
Something is different between E and F.

Benchmark Discussion
Previous was on local SSD, HubSpot is EBS in AWS
• Disk-sync more expensive for HubSpot
• Which explains better HD results
• Also explains better HD vs ND single-threaded speedup
• (Also, make benchmarking hard because AWS variance)
(HubSpot is running production with ND + semi-sync)
Also, HubSpot is running with the previously recommended settings:
• Write Set enabled on primaries and replicas
• slave_parallel_type to LOGICAL_CLOCK
• slave_preserve_commit_order to ON
à Ready for MTR by updating slave_parallel_workers 49

Other Benchmarks Results
I also have results for:
• WO, and NO vs WO
• RB, and IS vs RB
Too long to present everything, contact me if interested
TL&DR:
• NO is faster than WO
• RB is faster than IS
• Both highly variable depending on workload and durability
