Avi Kivity efd96a448c Merge "Add execution stages" from Paweł
"These patches introduce execution stages to Scylla in order to improve
icache friendliness. The places were stages are added are not chosen
very carefully and rather introduced at between different subsystems:
cql, storage proxy and database. This already results in a rather
significant improvement and can be tuned later if necessary.

Performance results:
perf_simple_query -c4 --duration 60
(medians)
          before       after      diff
write   83017.75   242876.04   +192.6%
read    61709.16   168258.26   +172.7%

The real life improvements aren't as good because it is much harder
to collect sufficiently high number of operations in a batch."

Additional benchmarking from Paweł:

"I did some tests on my local setup.

Scylla

Building Scylla

In addition to required packages by Seastar, the following packages are required by Scylla.

Submodules

Scylla uses submodules, so make sure you pull the submodules first by doing:

git submodule init
git submodule update --init --recursive

Building and Running Scylla on Fedora

  • Installing required packages:
sudo dnf install yaml-cpp-devel lz4-devel zlib-devel snappy-devel jsoncpp-devel thrift-devel antlr3-tool antlr3-C++-devel libasan libubsan gcc-c++ gnutls-devel ninja-build ragel libaio-devel cryptopp-devel xfsprogs-devel numactl-devel hwloc-devel libpciaccess-devel libxml2-devel python3-pyparsing lksctp-tools-devel protobuf-devel protobuf-compiler systemd-devel libunwind-devel
  • Build Scylla
./configure.py --mode=release --with=scylla --disable-xen
ninja-build build/release/scylla -j2 # you can use more cpus if you have tons of RAM

  • Run Scylla
./build/release/scylla

  • run Scylla with one CPU and ./tmp as data directory
./build/release/scylla --datadir tmp --commitlog-directory tmp --smp 1
  • For more run options:
./build/release/scylla --help

Building Fedora RPM

As a pre-requisite, you need to install Mock on your machine:

# Install mock:
sudo yum install mock

# Add user to the "mock" group:
usermod -a -G mock $USER && newgrp mock

Then, to build an RPM, run:

./dist/redhat/build_rpm.sh

The built RPM is stored in /var/lib/mock/<configuration>/result directory. For example, on Fedora 21 mock reports the following:

INFO: Done(scylla-server-0.00-1.fc21.src.rpm) Config(default) 20 minutes 7 seconds
INFO: Results and/or logs in: /var/lib/mock/fedora-21-x86_64/result

Building Fedora-based Docker image

Build a Docker image with:

cd dist/docker
docker build -t <image-name> .

Run the image with:

docker run -p $(hostname -i):9042:9042 -i -t <image name>
