| <p>The biggest contributions to heap usage on Historicals are:</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Partial unmerged query results from segments</li> |
| <li>The stored maps for <a href="/docs/0.23.0/querying/lookups.html">lookups</a>.</li> |
| </ul> |
| <p>A general rule-of-thumb for sizing the Historical heap is <code>(0.5GiB * number of CPU cores)</code>, with an upper limit of ~24GiB.</p> |
| <p>This rule-of-thumb scales using the number of CPU cores as a convenient proxy for hardware size and level of concurrency (note: this formula is not a hard rule for sizing Historical heaps).</p> |
| <p>Having a heap that is too large can result in excessively long GC collection pauses, the ~24GiB upper limit is imposed to avoid this.</p> |
| <p>If caching is enabled on Historicals, the cache is stored on heap, sized by <code>druid.cache.sizeInBytes</code>.</p> |
| <p>Running out of heap on the Historicals can indicate misconfiguration or usage patterns that are overloading the cluster.</p> |

| <p>If you are using lookups, calculate the total size of the lookup maps being loaded.</p> |
| <p>Druid performs an atomic swap when updating lookup maps (both the old map and the new map will exist in heap during the swap), so the maximum potential heap usage from lookup maps will be (2 * total size of all loaded lookups).</p> |
| <p>Be sure to add <code>(2 * total size of all loaded lookups)</code> to your heap size in addition to the <code>(0.5GiB * number of CPU cores)</code> guideline.</p> |

| <p>Please see the <a href="#processing-threads-buffers">General Guidelines for Processing Threads and Buffers</a> section for an overview of processing thread/buffer configuration.</p> |
| <p>On Historicals:</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li><code>druid.processing.numThreads</code> should generally be set to <code>(number of cores - 1)</code>: a smaller value can result in CPU underutilization, while going over the number of cores can result in unnecessary CPU contention.</li> |
| <li><code>druid.processing.buffer.sizeBytes</code> can be set to 500MiB.</li> |
| <li><code>druid.processing.numMergeBuffers</code>, a 1:4 ratio of merge buffers to processing threads is a reasonable choice for general use.</li> |
| </ul> |

| <p>The processing and merge buffers described above are direct memory buffers.</p> |
| <p>When a historical processes a query, it must open a set of segments for reading. This also requires some direct memory space, described in <a href="#segment-decompression">segment decompression buffers</a>.</p> |
| <p>A formula for estimating direct memory usage follows:</p> |
| <p>(<code>druid.processing.numThreads</code> + <code>druid.processing.numMergeBuffers</code> + 1) * <code>druid.processing.buffer.sizeBytes</code></p> |
| <p>The <code>+ 1</code> factor is a fuzzy estimate meant to account for the segment decompression buffers.</p> |

| <p>Please see the <a href="#connection-pool">General Connection Pool Guidelines</a> section for an overview of connection pool configuration.</p> |

| <p>To estimate total memory usage of the Historical under these guidelines:</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Heap: <code>(0.5GiB * number of CPU cores) + (2 * total size of lookup maps) + druid.cache.sizeInBytes</code></li> |
| <li>Direct Memory: <code>(druid.processing.numThreads + druid.processing.numMergeBuffers + 1) * druid.processing.buffer.sizeBytes</code></li> |

| <p>The Historical will use any available free system memory (i.e., memory not used by the Historical JVM and heap/direct memory buffers or other processes on the system) for memory-mapping of segments on disk.

| <p>The biggest contributions to heap usage on Brokers are:</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Partial unmerged query results from Historicals and Tasks</li> |
| <li>The segment timeline: this consists of location information (which Historical/Task is serving a segment) for all currently <a href="/docs/0.23.0/design/architecture.html#segment-lifecycle">available</a> segments.</li> |
| <li>Cached segment metadata: this consists of metadata, such as per-segment schemas, for all currently available segments.</li> |
| </ul> |
| <p>The Broker heap requirements scale based on the number of segments in the cluster, and the total data size of the segments.</p> |
| <p>The heap size will vary based on data size and usage patterns, but 4GiB to 8GiB is a good starting point for a small or medium cluster (~15 servers or less). For a rough estimate of memory requirements on the high end, very large clusters with a node count on the order of ~100 nodes may need Broker heaps of 30GiB-60GiB.</p> |
| <p>If caching is enabled on the Broker, the cache is stored on heap, sized by <code>druid.cache.sizeInBytes</code>.</p> |

| <p>On the Broker, the amount of direct memory needed depends on how many merge buffers (used for merging GroupBys) are configured. The Broker does not generally need processing threads or processing buffers, as query results are merged on-heap in the HTTP connection threads instead.</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li><code>druid.processing.buffer.sizeBytes</code> can be set to 500MiB.</li> |

| <p>When retrieving query results from Historical processes or Tasks, the Broker can optionally specify a maximum buffer size for queued, unread data, and exert backpressure on the channel to the Historical or Tasks when limit is reached (causing writes to the channel to block on the Historical/Task side until the Broker is able to drain some data from the channel).</p> |
| <p>This buffer size is controlled by the <code>druid.broker.http.maxQueuedBytes</code> setting.</p> |
| <p>The limit is divided across the number of Historicals/Tasks that a query would hit: suppose I have <code>druid.broker.http.maxQueuedBytes</code> set to 5MiB, and the Broker receives a query that needs to be fanned out to 2 Historicals. Each per-historical channel would get a 2.5MiB buffer in this case.</p> |
| <p>You can generally set this to a value of approximately <code>2MiB * number of Historicals</code>. As your cluster scales up with more Historicals and Tasks, consider increasing this buffer size and increasing the Broker heap accordingly.</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>If the buffer is too small, this can lead to inefficient queries due to the buffer filling up rapidly and stalling the channel</li> |
| <li>If the buffer is too large, this puts more memory pressure on the Broker due to more queued result data in the HTTP channels.</li> |

| <p>The processing and merge buffers described above are direct memory buffers.</p> |
| <p>When a Task processes a query, it must open a set of segments for reading. This also requires some direct memory space, described in <a href="#segment-decompression">segment decompression buffers</a>.</p> |
| <p>An ingestion Task also needs to merge partial ingestion results, which requires direct memory space, described in <a href="#segment-merging">segment merging</a>.</p> |
| <p>A formula for estimating direct memory usage follows:</p> |
| <p>(<code>druid.processing.numThreads</code> + <code>druid.processing.numMergeBuffers</code> + 1) * <code>druid.processing.buffer.sizeBytes</code></p> |
| <p>The <code>+ 1</code> factor is a fuzzy estimate meant to account for the segment decompression buffers and dictionary merging buffers.</p> |

| <p>Please see the <a href="#connection-pool">General Connection Pool Guidelines</a> section for an overview of connection pool configuration.</p> |
| <p>For Tasks, <code>druid.server.http.numThreads</code> should be set to a value slightly higher than the sum of <code>druid.broker.http.numConnections</code> across all the Brokers in the cluster.</p> |
| <p>Tuning the cluster so that each Task can accept 50 queries and 10 non-queries is a reasonable starting point.</p> |

| <p><code>percentOfSegmentsToConsiderPerMove</code></p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>The default value is 100. This means that the Coordinator will consider all segments when it is looking for a segment to move. The Coordinator makes a weighted choice, with segments on Servers with the least capacity being the most likely segments to be moved. |
| <ul> |
| <li>This weighted selection strategy means that the segments on the servers who have the most available capacity are the least likely to be chosen.</li> |
| <li>As the number of segments in the cluster increases, the probability of choosing the Nth segment to move decreases; where N is the last segment considered for moving.</li> |
| <li>An admin can use this config to skip consideration of that Nth segment.</li> |
| </ul></li> |
| <li>Instead of skipping a precise amount of segments, we skip a percentage of segments in the cluster. |
| <ul> |
| <li>For example, with the value set to 25, only the first 25% of segments will be considered as a segment that can be moved. This 25% of segments will come from the servers that have the least available capacity. |
| <ul> |
| <li>In this example, each time the Coordinator looks for a segment to move, it will consider 75% less segments than it did when the configuration was 100. On clusters with hundreds of thousands of segments, this can add up to meaningful coordination time savings.</li> |
| </ul></li> |
| </ul></li> |
| <li>General recommendations for this configuration: |
| <ul> |
| <li>If you are not worried about the amount of time it takes your Coordinator to complete a full coordination cycle, you likely do not need to modify this config.</li> |
| <li>If you are frustrated with how long the Coordinator takes to run a full coordination cycle, and you have set the Coordinator dynamic config <code>maxSegmentsToMove</code> to a value above 0 (the default is 5), setting this config to a non-default value can help shorten coordination time. |
| <ul> |
| <li>The recommended starting point value is 66. It represents a meaningful decrease in the percentage of segments considered while also not being too aggressive (You will consider 1/3 fewer segments per move operation with this value).</li> |
| </ul></li> |
| </ul></li> |
| <li>The impact that modifying this config will have on your coordination time will be a function of how low you set the config value, the value for <code>maxSegmentsToMove</code> and the total number of segments in your cluster. |
| <ul> |
| <li>If your cluster has a relatively small number of segments, or you choose to move few segments per coordination cycle, there may not be much savings to be had here.</li> |

| <p>The Broker has a setting <code>druid.broker.http.numConnections</code> that controls how many outgoing connections it can make to a given Historical or Task process.</p> |
| <p>These connections are used to send queries to the Historicals or Tasks, with one connection per query; the value of <code>druid.broker.http.numConnections</code> is effectively a limit on the number of concurrent queries that a given broker can process.</p> |
| <p>Suppose we have a cluster with 3 Brokers and <code>druid.broker.http.numConnections</code> is set to 10.</p> |
| <p>This means that each Broker in the cluster will open up to 10 connections to each individual Historical or Task (for a total of 30 incoming query connections per Historical/Task).</p> |
| <p>On the Historical/Task side, this means that <code>druid.server.http.numThreads</code> must be set to a value at least as high as the sum of <code>druid.broker.http.numConnections</code> across all the Brokers in the cluster.</p> |
| <p>In practice, you will want to allocate additional server threads for non-query API requests such as status checks; adding 10 threads for those is a good general guideline. Using the example with 3 Brokers in the cluster and <code>druid.broker.http.numConnections</code> set to 10, a value of 40 would be appropriate for <code>druid.server.http.numThreads</code> on Historicals and Tasks.</p> |
| <p>As a starting point, allowing for 50 concurrent queries (requests that read segment data from datasources) + 10 non-query requests (other requests like status checks) on Historicals and Tasks is reasonable (i.e., set <code>druid.server.http.numThreads</code> to 60 there), while sizing <code>druid.broker.http.numConnections</code> based on the number of Brokers in the cluster to fit within the 50 query connection limit per Historical/Task.</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>If the connection pool across Brokers and Historicals/Tasks is too small, the cluster will be underutilized as there are too few concurrent query slots.</li> |
| <li>If the connection pool is too large, you may get out-of-memory errors due to excessive concurrent load, and increased resource contention.</li> |
| <li>The connection pool sizing matters most when you require QoS-type guarantees and use query priorities; otherwise, these settings can be more loosely configured.</li> |
| <li>If your cluster usage patterns are heavily biased towards a high number of small concurrent queries (where each query takes less than ~15ms), enlarging the connection pool can be a good idea.</li> |
| <li>The 50/10 general guideline here is a rough starting point, since different queries impose different amounts of load on the system. To size the connection pool more exactly for your cluster, you would need to know the execution times for your queries and ensure that the rate of incoming queries does not exceed your "drain" rate.</li> |

| <p>In addition to the segment decompression overhead described above, when a set of segments are merged during ingestion, a direct buffer is allocated for every String typed column, for every segment in the set to be merged.</p> |
| <p>The size of these buffers are equal to the cardinality of the String column within its segment, times 4 bytes (the buffers store integers).</p> |
| <p>For example, if two segments are being merged, the first segment having a single String column with cardinality 1000, and the second segment having a String column with cardinality 500, the merge step would allocate (1000 + 500) * 4 = 6000 bytes of direct memory.</p> |

| <p>We recommend using the G1GC garbage collector:</p> |
| <p><code>-XX:+UseG1GC</code></p> |
| <p>Enabling process termination on out-of-memory errors is useful as well, since the process generally will not recover from such a state, and it's better to restart the process:</p> |
| <p><code>-XX:+ExitOnOutOfMemoryError</code></p> |

| <p>Please note that the flag settings above represent sample, general guidelines only. Be careful to use values appropriate |
| for your specific scenario and be sure to test any changes in staging environments.</p> |
| </blockquote> |
| <p><code>ExitOnOutOfMemoryError</code> flag is only supported starting JDK 8u92 . For older versions, <code>-XX:OnOutOfMemoryError='kill -9 %p'</code> can be used.</p> |
| <p><code>MaxDirectMemorySize</code> restricts JVM from allocating more than specified limit, by setting it to unlimited JVM restriction is lifted and OS level memory limits would still be effective. It's still important to make sure that Druid is not configured to allocate more off-heap memory than your machine has available. Important settings here include <code>druid.processing.numThreads</code>, <code>druid.processing.numMergeBuffers</code>, and <code>druid.processing.buffer.sizeBytes</code>.</p> |
| <p>Additionally, for large JVM heaps, here are a few Garbage Collection efficiency guidelines that have been known to help in some cases.</p> |
| <ul> |
| <li>Mount /tmp on tmpfs. See <a href="http://www.evanjones.ca/jvm-mmap-pause.html">The Four Month Bug: JVM statistics cause garbage collection pauses</a>.</li> |
| <li>On Disk-IO intensive processes (e.g., Historical and MiddleManager), GC and Druid logs should be written to a different disk than where data is written.</li> |
| <li>Disable <a href="https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/admin-guide/mm/transhuge.html">Transparent Huge Pages</a>.</li> |
| <li>Try disabling biased locking by using <code>-XX:-UseBiasedLocking</code> JVM flag. See <a href="https://dzone.com/articles/logging-stop-world-pauses-jvm">Logging Stop-the-world Pauses in JVM</a>.</li> |

| <p>Historical processes store large number of segments on Disk and support specifying multiple paths for storing those. Typically, hosts have multiple disks configured with RAID which makes them look like a single disk to OS. RAID might have overheads specially if its not hardware controller based but software based. So, Historicals might get improved disk throughput with JBOD.</p> |
