Allow binding the module without GitRepositoryManager When using the cached-refdb with other libModules that are willing to bind the GitRepositoryManager (e.g., multi-site) it is fundamental to keep on registering the factories needed for the libModule to keep on working as usual. Introduce a new vanilla libModule so that it can be bound without registering the GitRepositoryManager. Change-Id: I3df17c92ee162a89ba32d7364fcbc8777d259ac3
When Serialize AccountCache series was introduced it simplified the cache eviction by always reaching out to JGit for data. Unfortunately it comes with price which is especially high when All-Users repository is accessed through the NFS and core.trustFolderStat = false
is configured in ${GERRIT_SITE}/etc/jgit.config
(quite common setup for HA/Multi-Site ens).
This plugin was developed to introduce the in-memory cache (managed by Gerrit so that evictions could be coordinated to multiple nodes) that reduces the price for reaching to refs in JGit. It is a Gerrit native alternative (that can be applied to Gerrit 3.2) to work that is currently under progress for caching Refs in JGit.
Here is the short comparison of heavy-refs-related operations performance. The test scenario was to get random change details (over the same REST API that is used in Gerrit's details page) in 8 parallel threads over 5mins period of time. The core.trustFolderStat = false
was set in ${GERRIT_SITE}/etc/jgit.config
. It was called against:
stable-3.1
in the results)stable-3.2
in the results)stable-3.2-libCache
in the results).Note that TRS
is Reqs/Sec
for each Thread.
| version | TRS Avg | TRS Std Dev | TRS Max | Total Reqs/sec | Transfer/sec(MB)| | --------------------------------- | ------- | ----------- | ------- | -------------- | --------------- | | stable-3.1 | 57,33 | 8,26 | 80 | 456,95 | 4,34 | | stable-3.2 | 13,87 | 4,92 | 20 | 110,18 | 1,07 | | stable-3.2-libCache | 105,27 | 14,55 | 150 | 834,88 | 8,41 | | stable-3.1 vs stable-3.2 | 313,34% | 67,89% | 300,00% | 314,73% | 305,61% | | stable-3.2-libCache vs stable-3.2 | 658,98% | 195,73% | 650,00% | 657,74% | 685,98% | | stable-3.2-libCache vs stable-3.1 | 83,62% | 76,15% | 87,50% | 82,71% | 93,78% |
One can clearly see that in this setup using this library module outperforms both Gerrit 3.2 and 3.1 by factor of 6 and 2 correspondingly. The test script, detailed description and more results are available here.
Clone or link this plugin to the plugins directory of Gerrit‘s source tree, and then run bazel build on the plugin’s directory.
Example:
git clone --recursive https://gerrit.googlesource.com/gerrit cd plugins git clone "https://gerrit.googlesource.com/modules/cached-refdb" cd .. && bazel build plugins/cached-refdb
The output plugin jar is created in:
bazel-bin/plugins/cached-refdb/cached-refdb.jar
Copy the cached-refdb.jar into the ${GERRIT_SITE}/lib/
so that it is being loaded when the Gerrit instance is started. Note that the following configuration options need to be added
git config --file ${GERRIT_SITE}/etc/gerrit.config --add gerrit.installDbModule\ com.googlesource.gerrit.plugins.cachedrefdb.LibDbModule git config --file ${GERRIT_SITE}/etc/gerrit.config --add gerrit.installModule\ com.googlesource.gerrit.plugins.cachedrefdb.LibSysModule
NOTE: There are situations where the binding of the module to the Gerrit's GitRepositoryManager is not desired; e.g., when using this module together with others that are trying to override it at the same time.
It is possible to just load the module using the following two options:
git config --file ${GERRIT_SITE}/etc/gerrit.config --add gerrit.installDbModule\ com.googlesource.gerrit.plugins.cachedrefdb.LibModule git config --file ${GERRIT_SITE}/etc/gerrit.config --add gerrit.installModule\ com.googlesource.gerrit.plugins.cachedrefdb.LibSysModule
By default cache can hold up to 1024
refs which will not be sufficient for any production site therefore one can configure it through the standard Gerrit cache configuration means e.g.
git config --file ${GERRIT_SITE}/etc/gerrit.config cache.ref_by_name.memoryLimit 10240
Note that library module requires the Gerrit instance restart in order to pick up the configuration changes.
