Merge jobs being prioritized according to the workflow priority change #10672

Impact of the bug Whoever is responsible from running-closed to completed transition - WMAgent, I believe

Describe the bug This is reported by PdmV on Monday. https://twiki.cern.ch/twiki/bin/view/CMS/CompOpsMeeting?rev=1698

List of such workflows: https://cms-pdmv.cern.ch/pmp/historical?r=RunIISummer20UL16MiniAODAPVv2,RunIISummer20UL16MiniAODv2&sortSubmittedOn=percentage&sortSubmittedOrder=-1

Here are some examples:

  1. https://dmytro.web.cern.ch/dmytro/cmsprodmon/workflows.php?prep_id=task_EXO-RunIISummer20UL16MiniAODAPVv2-00155
  2. https://dmytro.web.cern.ch/dmytro/cmsprodmon/workflows.php?prep_id=task_B2G-RunIISummer20UL16MiniAODAPVv2-00189
  3. https://dmytro.web.cern.ch/dmytro/cmsprodmon/workflows.php?prep_id=task_B2G-RunIISummer20UL16MiniAODAPVv2-00236

I checked out several requests and I see that their outputs were completely produced days, and for some weeks ago. Checking running jobs, I see that there is either one LogCollect or Merge job dangling for days. I suspect again this might be related to the high number of requests currently in the system, but anyhow if output is 100% produced, why are waiting for a logcollect or merge job?

How to reproduce it Check the requests above.

Expected behavior If the outputs are fully produced, we should not delay the completion of the workflows.

Current issue can be fixed manually, but I'd like to understand why the system behaves this way and fix it automatically if possible.

Additional context and error message @nsmith- @drkovalskyi @jenimal @z4027163 FYI

I agree that waiting for a LogCollect job is not necessary. However, I think the merge jobs need to be complete before the output is usable. Keeping in mind that I'm not an expert, my understanding was that merge jobs take "too small" output files from individual jobs and turn them into "large enough" output files for the DM system by combining outputs together. My understanding (again possibly incomplete) is that merge jobs take files from /store/unmerged combine them and then write them to /store/mc or /store/data, etc. So, I think skipping that merge job would mean losing the output that job is responsible for merging. Does that make sense?

Do we see any indication of why these merge jobs are not running? Are they just getting crowded out by other work? I'm not sure how prioritization with merge jobs works.

juztas commented 3 years ago

Hi,

(just observation) Not sure if this is related (or even correct and I might be wrong) - but afair - JobPrio for Merge/Cleanup/LogCollect used to be always very high value so that it runs faster than anything else. Looking at the global pool right now seems some of the Merge/Cleanup/LogCollect jobs are lower prior than Production/Processing jobs, so this might starve them from running and finishing workflow.

I agree that waiting for a LogCollect job is not necessary. However, I think the merge jobs need to be complete before the output is usable. Keeping in mind that I'm not an expert, my understanding was that merge jobs take "too small" output files from individual jobs and turn them into "large enough" output files for the DM system by combining outputs together. My understanding (again possibly incomplete) is that merge jobs take files from /store/unmerged combine them and then write them to /store/mc or /store/data, etc. So, I think skipping that merge job would mean losing the output that job is responsible for merging. Does that make sense?

Keeping in mind that I'm not an expert, either, according to my understanding if an output is 100% produced, then all merge jobs should already have been done and successful. So, if I am not wrong (probably I am), there should not be any running merge jobs at all if we have the output completely. On the other hand, It makes sense to me to have LogCollect jobs at this stage, but they should not hold us back this long.

Checking one of the request w/ condor_q, I do not see any job at all, though:

$ condor_q -constr 'WMAgent_RequestName =?= "pdmvserv_task_EXO-RunIISummer20UL16MiniAODAPVv2-00155__v1_T_210602_131151_4999"'

Not sure which to believe.

juztas commented 3 years ago

Just to comment on gwmsmon - it is correct, let me explain: Go and filter workflow here: https://cms-gwmsmon.cern.ch/prodview And if the workflow is not in the list - it is not in the system, If you go directly to https://cms-gwmsmon.cern.ch/prodview/pdmvserv_task_EXO-RunIISummer20UL16MiniAODAPVv2-00155__v1_T_210602_131151_4999 you can see on the 'last week' diagram it was running on Friday - and after that empty graph - means no jobs are idle/running on the system (otherwise there would be red/blue lines). And also Last Update date: '7/9/2021, 11:49:28 PM'. I agree, section of Subtask still showing up a job is confusing. With a small change - this could be fixed under gwmsmon and not show jobs not on the system. gmwsmon keeps this historical information on individual workflow pages for 30days. This means if no update comes for this workflow by 8/8/2021 - it will delete that history page for good.

aperezca commented 3 years ago

So we have potentially two issues here?

a) Requests whose outputs are 100% produced are still in running-closed, the original issue

b) what Justas discovered: auxiliary jobs having lower priorities than other production work in the system. If this is the case, this should never happen, IMO, as it would apparently block workflows from getting done. Who should be correcting this, @amaltaro?

amaltaro commented 3 years ago

Before we start debugging it, I'd suggest to first figure whether it's a general issue or likely related to a sub-set of agents and/or workflows. So, first question is, are other requests getting into the completed status? According to Grafana monitoring, there seem to be requests going into completed status, so it must be something related to specific agents.

The running-closed to completed transition is likely performed by this ReqMgr2 CherryPy thread: https://github.com/dmwm/WMCore/blob/master/src/python/WMCore/ReqMgr/CherryPyThreads/StatusChangeTasks.py

executed in CMSWEB as reqmgr2-tasks instance.

Once you identify a workflow or two to be investigated, I'd suggest to:

  1. check the status of the GQEs (if there is anything that is not in Done/Canceled/CanceledRequested status, then it does make sense that the workflow remains in running-closed. Why 100% of the output produced though, this is yet to be figured out then.
  2. identify which agents worked on that/those requests, ssh to them and make sure all the components are healthy and that there is nothing failing for those requests (maybe JobArchiver or TaskArchiver)
  3. perhaps, check the number of jobs created for that/those request (from within the agent). A SQL query like this should do this (update the workflow name):
    SELECT wmbs_job_state.name, count(wmbs_job.id)
    FROM wmbs_job
    INNER JOIN wmbs_jobgroup ON
    wmbs_job.jobgroup = wmbs_jobgroup.id
    INNER JOIN wmbs_subscription ON
    wmbs_jobgroup.subscription = wmbs_subscription.id
    INNER JOIN wmbs_sub_types ON
    wmbs_subscription.subtype = wmbs_sub_types.id
    INNER JOIN wmbs_job_state ON
    wmbs_job.state = wmbs_job_state.id
    INNER JOIN wmbs_workflow ON
    wmbs_subscription.workflow = wmbs_workflow.id
    WHERE wmbs_workflow.name = 'pdmvserv_task_HIG-RunIIWinter15wmLHE-00561__v1_T_151207_101950_7247'
    GROUP BY wmbs_job_state.name;
  4. something else that might be needed is to check which filesets are still open, or which subscriptions are not yet finished. A query like (update the workflow name in the query):
    SELECT wmbs_subscription.id AS subId, wmbs_workflow.task AS wfName, wmbs_workflow.injected As wfInj, wmbs_fileset.name AS fsetName,
    wmbs_fileset.open AS fsetOpen, wmbs_subscription.finished AS subFin, wmbs_sub_types.name AS subType 
    FROM wmbs_subscription
    INNER JOIN wmbs_sub_types ON wmbs_subscription.subtype = wmbs_sub_types.id
    INNER JOIN wmbs_workflow ON wmbs_subscription.workflow = wmbs_workflow.id
    INNER JOIN wmbs_fileset ON wmbs_subscription.fileset = wmbs_fileset.id
    WHERE wmbs_workflow.name='sagarwal_task_TOP-RunIIFall18wmLHEGS-00109__v1_T_181105_200726_3792'
    AND wmbs_fileset.open = 1
    AND wmbs_subscription.finished = 0
    ORDER BY fsetName;

Regarding the auxiliary jobs with lower priority. That should never happened, or at least it should never happen from the agent side. Of course, someone can always ssh to the agent and run a condor_qedit to change those... When someone changes an active workflow priority, this is seen by JobUpdater which runs this code: https://github.com/dmwm/WMCore/blob/master/src/python/WMComponent/JobUpdater/JobUpdaterPoller.py#L155-L166

which in the end executes this code: https://github.com/dmwm/WMCore/blob/d66237302581b8d6b6a41295d82bb64c95a5296c/src/python/WMCore/BossAir/Plugins/SimpleCondorPlugin.py#L467

which takes into consideration the job type (task type) and it's priority factor. As one can see here: https://github.com/dmwm/WMCore/blob/master/src/python/WMCore/WMBS/CreateWMBSBase.py#L504-L505

Production/Processing should always - no matter the workflow priority - be lower priority than merge/logcollect/etc.

Last but not least, workflow completion does NOT wait for auxiliary jobs to be completed. Only Production/Processing/Merge/Harvesting jobs are considered for completing a workflow or not.

haozturk commented 3 years ago

Thanks a lot @amaltaro for the detailed explanation. Before diving into debugging, I made an impact analysis and I see that 210 workflows got affected by this issue. I attach the list here. I compared the LFN bases of these 210 workflows w/ the unmerged files at Caltech (one of the sites where unmerged usage is high), but I discovered that these 210 workflows are responsible for only 178 files out of 108k. Probably, completing these requests will save space on other grid sites, not much at Caltech. So, I'd suggest manually completing these requests for the sake of unmerged issue. Any objections? I'll double check the list before the operation. So far, it looks good, though. Probably, leaving a few requests might help to debug the issue.

Commenting on item 1 of Alan's roadmap: There are WQEs in Running and so far I spotted only one agent related to this issue: vocms0284.cern.ch (I didn't check all the requests, only 7-8)

completeWorkflowsWMCoreBug#10672.txt

FYI @drkovalskyi @nsmith-

haozturk commented 3 years ago

I am hesitant to force-complete these 210 workflows due to the issue w/ force-completions https://github.com/dmwm/WMCore/issues/10675 I think we should fix these issues automatically. Manual operation does not seem very promising.

haozturk commented 3 years ago

I force-completed one request to check if it will be affected by #10675 or not. If it succeeds, I'll force-complete all the workflows affected by this issue to decrease the stress on the system. https://cmsweb.cern.ch/reqmgr2/fetch?rid=cmsunified_task_EXO-RunIIFall17wmLHEGS-03554__v1_T_210628_132241_8381

todor-ivanov commented 3 years ago

Thanks @haozturk

jenimal commented 3 years ago

OK it's been over 24 hrs and the workflow that was force completed is still sitting in force complete waiting for a merge job to run @todor-ivanov This is next on your list of priority, doesn't pay to force complete if it doesn't work.

todor-ivanov commented 3 years ago

While going through the agents I just noticed an error which maybe worth mentioning in this issue here [1]. This may be somehow related with the not properly updated priorities of the merge jobs. So far the error I found in one agent only: vocms0257. Looking deeper now.

the workflow Hasan tried to force complete is still stuck in force complete with the same job in status queued on vocms0284.cern.ch

It should be noted that 284 has been in this mode for several days: agent: vocms0284.cern.ch (1.4.7.patch2) agent last updated: 2021/7/23 (Fri) 19:24:22 UTC : 0 h 2 m data last updated: 1 h 19 m status: Data collect error; team: production data collect error: (28, 'Operation timed out after 270001 milliseconds with 0 bytes received')

a complete restart of the agent did nothing

amaltaro commented 3 years ago

@haozturk I believe this problem was caused by the same issue reported and resolved in https://github.com/dmwm/WMCore/issues/10675

I'm keeping this open because I want to check the job priority (possible) issue that has been reported here as well.

haozturk commented 3 years ago

Thanks Alan - yes, I see that workflows that I reported in the issue description are moving. Let's keep it couple of hours open, then I can check if there is workflow left which was affected by this issue. If not, we can close the issue.

haozturk commented 3 years ago

@amaltaro are we sure that this is only related to vocms0284. Please check the following request: https://dmytro.web.cern.ch/dmytro/cmsprodmon/workflows.php?prep_id=task_SMP-RunIISummer20UL18NanoAODv9-00048 It's 100% for 2 days, but not handled by that agent.

amaltaro commented 3 years ago

It has WQEs in Running state in both submit7 and submit8: https://cmsweb.cern.ch/couchdb/workqueue/_design/WorkQueue/_rewrite/elementsInfo?request=pdmvserv_task_SMP-RunIISummer20UL18NanoAODv9-00048__v1_T_210720_100722_78

and those agents do not have the same problem as vocms0284 had. I will have a deeper look though to make sure those agents are working properly as well.

haozturk commented 3 years ago

Yes, I've seen those WQEs, but it did not make sense to me to have WQEs in Running state while the output is 100%

amaltaro commented 3 years ago

@haozturk Hasan, here is a likely reason for these workflows taking longer than expected to go to completed: https://github.com/dmwm/WMCore/issues/8477#issuecomment-887411403

Note that this is not a permanent problem, just that that specific thread is under-performing. I'm monitoring those agents for the next few hours to evaluate whether the issue 8477 will need to be re-prioritized or not.

amaltaro commented 3 years ago

@haozturk I'm changing the title of this GH issue because the main root cause has been fixed. The second issue is mentioned above, with an under-performing agent thread that has its own issue to be addressed in #8477

Thanks to @juztas , I can confirm that indeed Merge jobs are being prioritized after the workflow absolute priority number, without taking into consideration the task priority factor (job type), as just queried in submit7 [&]. I think this is a serious issue, which can lead to a) data loss; and b) workflow completion delay; so I'd like to address this merge issue in this GH issue.

while we work on this Merge priority update issue, I think we should also take the opportunity to make a feature change, as requested in this GH issue: https://github.com/dmwm/WMCore/issues/10445 this would be a very good improvement.

amaltaro commented 3 years ago

Well, even though Merge jobs are prioritized the same as the Production/Processing jobs, it looks like they still manage to get slots pretty quickly. I ran condor_qedit in all our currently active agents, and more than half of them did not have any jobs to be updated:

cmst1@vocms0257:/data/srv/wmagent/current $ condor_qedit -const 'CMS_JobType =?= "Merge" && JobStatus =?= 1' JobPrio 4000000
Failed to set attribute "JobPrio" by constraint: ( (CMS_JobType =?= "Merge" && JobStatus =?= 1) )
Queue transaction failed.  No attributes were set.

while others had only a handful of jobs to be updated.

nsmith- commented 3 years ago

We noticed the same fact when we found the unexpectedly low priority merge jobs: that they still run quite easily. We suspect maybe it is because they only request a single core and can match slots easier than the usual 4 or 8-core taskchains. In some sense it is very lucky we don't have a giant queue of merge jobs, on the other hand that would be a much more transparent culprit if it were true.

As chatted with @khurtado , he will probably manage to work on this issue today/tomorrow. Kenyi, please consider the suggestion made on this GH issue (and move it to Q3 if you start covering it, please): https://github.com/dmwm/WMCore/issues/10445

amaltaro commented 3 years ago

@khurtado haven't we fixed this issue with https://github.com/dmwm/WMCore/pull/10760 ?

If so, could you please have a last look at the pool and check whether Merge jobs now have a meaningful priority (>=40M)? If things look okay in the condor pool, I'd suggest to close this issue.

khurtado commented 2 years ago

@amaltaro I queried the the global pool just now and did not find any Merge job with a JobPrio below 40M

[khurtado@vocms0254 ~]$ condor_q -global -constraint 'CMS_JobType == "Merge"' -af:h JobPrio | sort  | uniq -c
      4 40085025
