Dragonfly crashes in minimal memory configuration

applike-ss commented 3 months ago

Describe the bug I have discovered crashes of dragonfly upon testing the cache mode to ensure it is stable before using it in prod workloads. It seems that it is crashing at a random point when putting lots of data

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

create a data.txt for later data ingestion use: dd if=/dev/urandom bs=1024 count=100| base64 > data.txt
now create a script to ingest data and call it redis-pump.sh (put same folder as data.txt):
```
#!/bin/zsh
```

CLUSTER_HOSTNAME=$1 MAX_ITERATIONS=$2

i=0

if [ "" = "${MAX_ITERATIONS}" ]; then echo "pushing as much data as possible to ${CLUSTER_HOSTNAME}" else echo "pushing ${MAX_ITERATIONS} chunks of data to ${CLUSTER_HOSTNAME}" fi

DATA="$(cat data.txt)"

while true; do i=$(expr $i + 1)

redis-cli -h "${CLUSTER_HOSTNAME}" -x set x-data-$i < data.txt | grep -v "OK"

if [ $((i % 5)) = 0 ]; then
    echo "pushed $i data chunks to ${CLUSTER_HOSTNAME}"
fi

if [ "$i" = "${MAX_ITERATIONS}" ]; then
    echo "pushed all $i data chunks to ${CLUSTER_HOSTNAME}"
    exit
fi

done

3. in one terminal execute: `docker run -it --rm --cpus 0.1 -m 320M -p 6379:6379 -p 9999:9999 --mount type=tmpfs,destination=/dragonfly/snapshots,tmpfs-size=524288000 ghcr.io/dragonflydb/dragonfly-weekly:e8650ed2b4ebd550c966751dd33ebb1ac4f82b1f-ubuntu --alsologtostderr --primary_port_http_enabled=false --admin_port=9999 --admin_nopass --cache_mode --primary_port_http_enabled=true --cluster_mode=emulated --dir=/dragonfly/snapshots --snapshot_cron="*/5 * * * *"`
4. Wait for dragonfly to run
5. run `./redis-pump.sh 127.0.0.1 1000000` and wait ~7-10 minutes

**Expected behavior**
There should not be any crashes. If there are crashes, there should be a reasonable error/crit message telling why it happened

Reproducible Code Snippet

See above

Is there any additional information i can provide or an option to let dragonfly run with debug logging for gathering more interesting information?

applike-ss commented 3 months ago

Removing dir and snapshot_cron parameters btw. does not show this behaviour. I have it running without these parameters and pumping data into it for more than 6 hours already. I could imagine a memory related issue that makes containerd just kill the container, e.g. creating the snapshot + the data that is in memory for storing the kv data runs into the limit that i set for the container (320Mi).

romange commented 3 months ago

you can easily verify it @applike-ss by raising the limit and checking used_memory_peak_rss with "INFO MEMORY" command

Is there anything we can help here @applike-ss ?

@chakaz probably a good use-case to focus on, when switch working on RSS instrumentation. Not urgent though.

I'm doing that right now. I assume you want me to watch "redis-cli info memory | grep used_memory_peak_rss", correct? Otherwise let me know how i'm supposed to test here. I will post results once i got them.

Sorry, was on vacation and couldn't check back here.

My assumption is that due to dragonfly running in cache mode, it should never go OOM - so no crash should happen. If it was not running in cache mode, i would expect it to write out OOM responses if i write data to it when current data + incoming data > maxmemory and also not crash.

@applike-ss we plan to take into account the additional memory of serializing to file (and also for new replica connecting in full sync stage), and perhaps fail / slow down these actions when memory is tight. Also, we plan to migrate from using use-memory (the memory used only by the data) and start using rss (actual memory usage). Both actions will take at the very least a few weeks, likely more, so in the meanwhile you could add some memory buffer for these operations specifically.
