[Ray Core] Ray agent getting killed unexpectedly #29412

Open pratkpranav opened 2 years ago

pratkpranav commented 2 years ago

What happened + What you expected to happen

We are writing a module for data-parallel training using ray for our machine learning engine. Currently, we are trying to scale our computation to 64 nodes on an in-house cluster, but while communication between the nodes, the ray agent on some nodes fails unexpectedly(It doesn't happen just after the start, instead, all the nodes run for a while, and then some nodes start failing). I am pretty sure the program is not running out of memory(As I don’t see any OOMKiller log-in dmesg). The program keeps running if a node fails that is not running a worker, however it terminates as soon as a node fails with a worker running on it. We are using Ray Collective Communication Lib(Gloo through pygloo), but we see the same failures even when using Ray Core for communication.

Issue Severity

High: It blocks me from completing my task.

rkooo567 commented 2 years ago

your zip file seems to be empty when I downloaded.

What's the log from dashboard_agent.log? We need to understand why this component failed!

pratkpranav commented 2 years ago

Mac messed it up earlier i guess. Could you please check it now?

rkooo567 commented 2 years ago

Would you be willing to help us debugging after we merge https://github.com/ray-project/ray/pull/29540? You can use the nightly wheel and give us another log when things fail.

rkooo567 commented 2 years ago

We will also try reproducing it ourselves, but from the repro script, it seems to be more env-specific issue than Ray (like the agent detects if parent is dead via psutil.parent, but this seems to sometimes not work in your env based on your logs. Raylet will kill itself if agent is killed).

pratkpranav commented 2 years ago

Sure

rkooo567 commented 2 years ago

I will ping you after the PR is merged!

rkooo567 commented 2 years ago

Okay, I merged the PR. The wheel will be available in 2~3 hours. You can get the download link from https://docs.ray.io/en/master/ray-overview/installation.html#daily-releases-nightlies. Please make sure the commit is after 98da294f0b8fbf0ab9d94ebd552c4d78b4d3aaf8.

You can try 2 things.

  1. Try reproducing it with the nightly wheel and give me the log of dashbord_agent.log
  2. Try doing the same thing with this env var. RAY_DASHBOARD_AGENT_CHECK_PARENT_INTERVAL_S=2. You can start your ray like this to apply the env var. RAY_DASHBOARD_AGENT_CHECK_PARENT_INTERVAL_S=2 ray start --head and RAY_DASHBOARD_AGENT_CHECK_PARENT_INTERVAL_S=2 ray start --address=<head_ip>
rkooo567 commented 2 years ago

cc @pratkpranav lmk how this goes! I will downgrade the priority until you get back to me

pratkpranav commented 2 years ago

Sure! It is running, will try to get back to you with required logs, by today.

pratkpranav commented 2 years ago

@rkooo567 the program has been running for a while now without any crashes. I see some nodes warning of lagging heartbeats(outputs added). I have observed the other warning(which causes the actor to kill itself) tends to appear only after the program has been running for some time(maybe a day or two). I will keep it running over the weekend and get back to you as I hit the issue again.

So this happens because of the agent failure. This is the flow;

agent failed -> raylet failed -> heartbeat not reported -> heartbeat lagging error.

I think I can remove this false negative error message. The original issue remains the same (agent failed because it thinks the raylet is failed. But raylet is actually alive).

Btw I added a kind of "speculative fix" into my PR. So if you cannot reproduce the issue, it probably means the fix was working. So lmk how it goes! Appreciate for all the information again :)

@rkooo567 , It failed again, but this time without producing any warning. The program output is added below.

These are the logs from node 110(which failed) and the head node. logs_head.zip logs_110.zip

In the mean time, I will run the program again, with updated env_var RAY_DASHBOARD_AGENT_CHECK_PARENT_INTERVAL_S=2

Also, in the last output log, I added here #29412 (comment); what happened is the program ran till the raylet failed on the node, which is not running any actor. As soon as raylet failed on a node on which an actor is running, that program failed soon after, with samilar logs attached above.

I also see this warning

Yes. Let me tell you a bit more detail about what is happening here. So in every ray node, there's a raylet. And raylet spawns a child process called "dashboard agent". Although the name has "dashboard", it is actually doing more work than the dashboard things, so you can just think it as an "agent".

When the agent is dead, the raylet is dead. They fate share.

Also in Ray, every raylet sends heartbeat to the central control plane (GCS). If raylet's heartbeat is not delivered to the GCS within 30 seconds, this warning is printed.

2022-10-27 17:53:40,197 WARNING worker.py:1839 -- The node with node id: b1d7d50a82a27c9cdb73c6c5a27cf355243895e54636ae698b31d1bf and address: 172.29.58.101 and node name: 172.29.58.101 has been marked dead because the detector has missed too many heartbeats from it. This can happen when a    (1) raylet crashes unexpectedly (OOM, preempted node, etc.) 
        (2) raylet has lagging heartbeats due to slow network or busy workload.

Your workloads consistently fail with this order.

agent thinks the raylet is dead when it is not -> agent kills itself because it thinks raylet is dead -> raylet kills itself because the agent is dead. In this case, you are expected to see the above warning because raylet is dead ungracefully, and the heartbeat won't be sent to the GCS.

And this is the code how agent detects the parent's status (it keeps checking the parent's pid): https://github.com/ray-project/ray/blob/d1662d68b96803c629ff982268563a14688646d3/dashboard/agent.py#L174. Apparently this detecting code doesn't seem to work in your environment for some unknown reasons, and I am trying to figure out why,

It looks like the agent is dead because of different exceptions from your latest run. Unfortunately, exception is not logged from our code...

2022-10-28 10:07:30,636 ERROR agent.py:260 -- Failed to check parent PID, exiting.

I think we may need a couple more iterations of merge code with more debugging info -> you run and tell me how this goes since it seems to be hard to be reproduced in my env... Would this be okay? I will create another PR to add more information in this case.

ah this was my bad... this one seems to be a bug from the new code.. Let me fix it real quick. I will get back to you soon again... Thanks for trying this again!

rkooo567 commented 2 years ago

Fix from ^ PR... If your workload still fails after this PR, we may need to change the mechanism to detect the parent failure (now we rely on psutil)

rkooo567 commented 2 years ago

@pratkpranav Can you try this one more time with the latest master? I think this will be the last time before I decide how to fix the issues. Thanks again for your help!!

rkooo567 commented 2 years ago

There are 2 potential solutions here;

  1. If the nightly fixes your issues with RAY_DASHBOARD_AGENT_CHECK_PARENT_INTERVAL_S, maybe we will go with this direction.
  2. If not, we may change the health check mechanism from agent -> raylet because that seems unreliable

Hmm.. it's interesting. So we are using psutil.Parent (https://psutil.readthedocs.io/en/latest/) to see if the parent process is alive and if this returns None, we consider the parent is dead (which means the parent pid is not known anymore). The issue now is although the parent (raylet) is alive, psutil.parent returns None (so we misunderstand the raylet is dead and agent kills itself which kills the raylet because they fate share).

I assume there may be a subtle bug in psutil that returns the incorrect result. This is their parent implementation. https://github.com/giampaolo/psutil/blob/08964b08700fcfc5a4917a01107009a3ee913341/psutil/__init__.py#L464

While I will talk about the potential solution with my collegue, do you mind trying one more time with higher RAY_DASHBOARD_AGENT_CHECK_PARENT_INTERVAL_S? It looks like this env var is not set based on your current error message. (maybe very long value like 30~60). You should set this on every node (e.g., RAY_DASHBOARD_AGENT_CHECK_PARENT_INTERVAL_S=60 ray start --address= & RAY_DASHBOARD_AGENT_CHECK_PARENT_INTERVAL_S=60 ray start --head)

Also for the temporary workaround, if you don't mind having process leak (agent.py), you can also set really really long env var RAY_DASHBOARD_AGENT_CHECK_PARENT_INTERVAL_S=10000000. Then this will disable the parent health checking. This may solve your issue temporarily, but then when the raylet is actually dead, the agent cannot detect the parent is dead.

rkooo567 commented 2 years ago

pratkpranav commented 2 years ago

I have put it to run with env RAY_DASHBOARD_AGENT_CHECK_PARENT_INTERVAL_S=100000000 for now. It's been running for a day and half now. I would keep it running for some more time.

I will try to put it to run as soon as I am done running with the above one.

rkooo567 commented 2 years ago

Sounds good to me! I'd be also great if you test with a shorter time like 60 seconds (RAY_DASHBOARD_AGENT_CHECK_PARENT_INTERVAL_S=60)! Please note that what you did means you disabled the health check, and agent may not be terminated properly although raylet is killed. In the medium term, we will see if it's possible to find a better health checking mechanism..

Got it. I am not sure what causes this, but psutil definitely seems broken in your env...

I think you can get around the issue by RAY_DASHBOARD_AGENT_CHECK_PARENT_INTERVAL_S=100000000 for now. I will discuss the fix plan and get back to you...

pratkpranav commented 1 year ago

Hey @rkooo567, it seems we are again getting a similar issue, even with the RAY_DASHBOARD_AGENT_CHECK_PARENT_INTERVAL_S=100000000. Were there any recent changes that might have caused this issue to resurface?

rkooo567 commented 1 year ago

Hmm we didn't make any change lately. Did you upgrade the version? this basically disables the feature, so it shouldn't actually happen anymore?

pratkpranav commented 1 year ago

Yes, I did upgrade the version. I tried 2.2.0, 2.3.0, and 2.4.0, and see similar issues. The last time we made it work with the daily wheels, I worked on that for a while but as soon as I moved any of those versions I see that error.

@rkooo567, When I moved to 2.4.0, Following is the error log from dashboard_agent.log

Any updates? I am experiencing the same issue

Do you guys see the issue in the latest version? (ray 2.6)

garylavayou commented 11 months ago

Running a mini-cluster with Ray 2.8.1, this problem still occurs.

Here is the recent logs of dashboard_agent:

psutil.NoSuchProcess: process no longer exists and its PID has been reused (pid=83)

in which, the process_watcher, one of the thread of dashboard_agent process complains about its parent (i.e., raylet) no longer exists. We can see that the initial PID of raylet is 41, but the error message show the PID is 83, and hence the psutil may have some bug for recording its parent process.

Almost the same time, the raylet also detected that the dashboard_agent has gone, showing in the following logs:

The dashboard_agent.log says that "PID has been reused", but my cluster is running in docker, and has no workload, so there should be no new process being created that reuses the PID of the died raylet. Otherwise, the raylet might not be truly died, but could the detection mechanism of process_watcher have some flaws?

Running another instance with version 2.6.3. The bug is a little different from 2.8.1. Here are related logs:

psutil.NoSuchProcess: process no longer exists and its PID has been reused (pid=37)

The raylet process is still there (PID=37), but dashboard_agent detected the process no longer exists and its PID has been reused (pid=37).

Another difference is that the two process does not exit, and keep producing logs like the above.


The compose file is slightly modified to read logs from the startup script.
