| <h2><a name="Overview"></a>Overview</h2> |
| <p>This document provides guidance from our experiences tuning the Apache Metron Storm topologies for maximum performance. You’ll find suggestions for optimum configurations under a 1 gbps load along with some guidance around the tooling we used to monitor and assess our throughput.</p> |
| <p>In the simplest terms, Metron is a streaming architecture created on top of Kafka and three main types of Storm topologies: parsers, enrichment, and indexing. Each parser has it’s own topology and there is also a highly performant, specialized spout-only topology for streaming PCAP data to HDFS. We found that the architecture can be tuned almost exclusively through using a few primary Storm and Kafka parameters along with a few Metron-specific options. You can think of the data flow as being similar to water flowing through a pipe, and the majority of these options assist in tweaking the various pipe widths in the system.</p></div> |
| <div class="section"> |
| <h2><a name="General_Tuning_Suggestions"></a>General Tuning Suggestions</h2> |
| <div class="section"> |
| <h3><a name="Storm_Executors_vs._Tasks"></a>Storm Executors vs. Tasks</h3> |
| <p>Note that there is currently no method for specifying the number of tasks from the number of executors in Flux topologies (enrichment, indexing). By default, the number of tasks will equal the number of executors. Logically, setting the number of tasks equal to the number of executors is sensible. Storm enforces num executors <= num tasks. The reason you might set the number of tasks higher than the number of executors is for future performance tuning and rebalancing without the need to bring down your topologies. The number of tasks is fixed at topology startup time whereas the number of executors can be increased up to a maximum value equal to the number of tasks.</p></div> |
| <div class="section"> |
| <h3><a name="Kafka_Spout_Configuration"></a>Kafka Spout Configuration</h3> |
| <p>When configuring Storm Kafka spouts, we found that the default values for</p> |
| <ul> |
| |
| <li><tt>poll.timeout.ms</tt></li> |
| <li><tt>offset.commit.period.ms</tt></li> |
| <li><tt>max.uncommitted.offsets</tt></li> |
| </ul> |
| <p>worked well in nearly all cases. As a general rule, it was optimal to set spout parallelism equal to the number of partitions used in your Kafka topic. Any greater parallelism will leave you with idle consumers since Kafka limits the max number of consumers to the number of partitions. This is important because Kafka has certain ordering guarantees for message delivery per partition that would not be possible if more than one consumer in a given consumer group were able to read from that partition.</p></div></div> |
| <div class="section"> |
| <h2><a name="Sensor_Topology_Tuning_Suggestions"></a>Sensor Topology Tuning Suggestions</h2> |
| <p>If you are using stellar field transformations in your sensors, by default, stellar expressions are not cached. Sensors that use stellar field transformations by see a performance boost by turning on caching via setting the <tt>cacheConfig</tt> <a href="metron-parsers-common/index.html#parser_configuration">property</a>. This is beneficial if your transformations:</p> |
| <ul> |
| |
| <li>Are complex (e.g. <tt>ENRICHMENT_GET</tt> calls or other high latency calls)</li> |
| <li>All Yield the same results for the same inputs ( caching is either off or applied to all transformations) |
| <ul> |
| |
| <li>If any of your transformations are non-deterministic, caching should not be used as it will result in the likelihood of incorrect results being returned.</li> |
| </ul> |
| </li> |

| <p>There are a number of levers that can be set while tuning a Metron cluster. The main services to interact with for performance tuning are: Kafka, Storm, HDFS, and indexing (Elasticsearch or Solr). For each service, here is a high level breakdown of the major knobs and levers that can be modified while tuning your cluster.</p> |
| <ul> |
| |
| <li>Kafka |
| <ul> |
| |
| <li>Number partitions</li> |
| </ul> |

| |
| <li>Kafka spout |
| <ul> |
| |
| <li>Polling frequency</li> |
| <li>Polling timeouts</li> |
| <li>Offset commit period</li> |
| <li>Max uncommitted offsets</li> |
| </ul> |
| </li> |
| <li>Number workers (OS processes)</li> |
| <li>Number executors (threads in a process)</li> |
| <li>Number ackers</li> |

| <h3><a name="Kafka_Tuning"></a>Kafka Tuning</h3> |
| <p>The main lever you’re going to work with when tuning Kafka throughput will be the number of partitions. A handy method for deciding how many partitions to use is to first calculate the throughput for a single producer (p) and a single consumer (c), and then use that with the desired throughput (t) to roughly estimate the number of partitions to use. You would want at least max(t/p, t/c) partitions to attain the desired throughput. See <a class="externalLink" href="https://www.confluent.io/blog/how-to-choose-the-number-of-topicspartitions-in-a-kafka-cluster/">https://www.confluent.io/blog/how-to-choose-the-number-of-topicspartitions-in-a-kafka-cluster/</a> for more details.</p></div> |
| <div class="section"> |
| <h3><a name="Storm_Tuning"></a>Storm Tuning</h3> |
| <div class="section"> |
| <h4><a name="Overview"></a>Overview</h4> |
| <p>There are quite a few options you will be confronted with when tuning your Storm topologies and this is largely trial and error. As a general rule of thumb, we recommend starting with the defaults and smaller numbers in terms of parallelism while iteratively working up until the desired performance is achieved. You will find the offset lag tool indispensable while verifying your settings.</p> |
| <p>We won’t go into a full discussion about Storm’s architecture - see references section for more info - but there are some general rules of thumb that should be followed. It’s first important to understand the ways you can impact parallelism in a Storm topology.</p> |
| <ul> |
| |
| <li>num tasks</li> |
| <li>num executors (parallelism hint)</li> |
| <li>num workers</li> |
| </ul> |
| <p>Tasks are instances of a given spout or bolt, executors are threads in a process, and workers are jvm processes. You’ll want the number of tasks as a multiple of the number of executors, the number of executors as multiple of the number of workers, and the number of workers as a multiple of the number of machines. The main reason for this approach is that it will give a uniform distribution of work to each machine and jvm process. More often than not, your number of tasks will be equal to the number of executors, which is the default in Storm. Flux does not actually provide a way to independently set number of tasks, so for enrichments and indexing, which use Flux, num tasks will always equal num executors.</p> |
| <p>You can change the number of workers via the Storm property <tt>topology.workers</tt></p> |
| <p><b>Other Storm Settings</b></p> |
| |
| <div> |
| <div> |
| <pre class="source">topology.max.spout.pending |
| </pre></div></div> |
| |
| <p>This is the maximum number of tuples that can be in flight (ie, not yet acked) at any given time within your topology. You set this as a form of backpressure to ensure you don’t flood your topology.</p> |
| |
| <div> |
| <div> |
| <pre class="source">topology.ackers.executors |
| </pre></div></div> |
| |
| <p>This specifies how many threads should be dedicated to tuple acking. We found that setting this equal to the number of partitions in your inbound Kafka topic worked well.</p> |
| <p><b>spout-config.json</b></p> |
| |
| <div> |
| <div> |
| <pre class="source">{ |
| ... |
| "spout.pollTimeoutMs" : 200, |
| "spout.maxUncommittedOffsets" : 10000000, |
| "spout.offsetCommitPeriodMs" : 30000 |
| } |
| </pre></div></div> |
| |
| <p>Above is a snippet for configuring parsers. These are the spout recommended defaults from Storm and are currently the defaults provided in the Kafka spout itself. In fact, if you find the recommended defaults work fine for you, then you can omit these settings altogether.</p></div> |
| <div class="section"> |
| <h4><a name="Where_to_Find_Tuning_Properties"></a>Where to Find Tuning Properties</h4> |
| <p><b>Important:</b> The parser topologies are deployed via a builder pattern that takes parameters from the CLI as set via Ambari. The enrichment and indexing topologies are configured using a Storm Flux file, a configuration properties file, and Ambari. Here is a setting materialization summary for each of the topology types:</p> |
| <ul> |
| |
| <li>Parsers |
| <ul> |
| |
| <li>Management UI -> parser json config and CLI -> Storm</li> |
| </ul> |
| </li> |
| <li>Enrichment |

| <p>When adding Kafka spout properties, there are 3 ways you’ll do this.</p> |
| <ol style="list-style-type: decimal"> |
| |
| <li> |
| |
| <p>Ambari: If they are properties managed by Ambari (noted in the table under ‘Ambari Property Name’), look for the setting in Ambari.</p> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| |
| <p>Flux -> kafkaProps: add a new key/value to the kafkaProps section HashMap on line 201. For example, if you want to set the Kafka Spout consumer’s session.timeout.ms to 30 seconds, you would add the following:</p> |
| |
| <div> |
| <div> |
| <pre class="source"> - name: "put" |
| args: |
| - "session.timeout.ms" |
| - 30000 |
| </pre></div></div> |
| </li> |
| <li> |
| |
| <p>Flux -> kafkaConfig: add a new setter to the kafkaConfig section on line 230. For example, if you want to set the Kafka Spout consumer’s poll timeout to 200 milliseconds, you would add the following under <tt>configMethods</tt>:</p> |
| |
| <div> |
| <div> |
| <pre class="source"> - name: "setPollTimeoutMs" |
| args: |
| - 200 |
| </pre></div></div> |
| </li> |
| </ol> |

| <p>This is a mapping of the various performance tuning properties for indexing and how they are materialized.</p> |
| <p>Flux file can be found here - $METRON_HOME/flux/indexing/batch/remote.yaml.</p> |

| <p>The below discussion outlines a specific tuning exercise we went through for driving 1 Gbps of traffic through a Metron cluster running with 4 Kafka brokers and 4 Storm Supervisors.</p> |
| <p>General machine specs</p> |
| <ul> |
| |
| <li>10 Gb network cards</li> |
| <li>256 GB memory</li> |
| <li>12 disks</li> |

| <h3><a name="Performance_Monitoring_Tools"></a>Performance Monitoring Tools</h3> |
| <p>Before we get to tuning our cluster, it helps to describe what we might actually want to monitor as well as any potential pain points. Prior to switching over to the new Storm Kafka client, which leverages the new Kafka consumer API under the hood, offsets were stored in Zookeeper. While the broker hosts are still stored in Zookeeper, this is no longer true for the offsets which are now stored in Kafka itself. This is a configurable option, and you may switch back to Zookeeper if you choose, but Metron is currently using the new defaults. With this in mind, there are some useful tools that come with Storm and Kafka that we can use to monitor our topologies.</p> |
| <div class="section"> |
| <h4><a name="Tooling"></a>Tooling</h4> |
| <p>Kafka</p> |
| <ul> |
| |
| <li>consumer group offset lag viewer</li> |
| <li>There is a GUI tool to make creating, modifying, and generally managing your Kafka topics a bit easier - see <a class="externalLink" href="https://github.com/yahoo/kafka-manager">https://github.com/yahoo/kafka-manager</a></li> |
| <li>console consumer - useful for quickly verifying topic contents</li> |
| </ul> |
| <p>Storm</p> |
| <ul> |
| |
| <li>Storm UI - <a class="externalLink" href="http://www.malinga.me/reading-and-understanding-the-storm-ui-storm-ui-explained/">http://www.malinga.me/reading-and-understanding-the-storm-ui-storm-ui-explained/</a></li> |
| </ul></div> |
| <div class="section"> |
| <h4><a name="Example_-_Viewing_Kafka_Offset_Lags"></a>Example - Viewing Kafka Offset Lags</h4> |
| <p>First we need to setup some environment variables</p> |
| |
| <div> |
| <div> |
| <pre class="source">export BROKERLIST=<your broker comma-delimated list of host:ports> |
| export ZOOKEEPER=<your zookeeper comma-delimated list of host:ports> |
| export KAFKA_HOME=<kafka home dir> |
| export METRON_HOME=<your metron home> |
| export HDP_HOME=<your HDP home> |
| </pre></div></div> |
| |
| <p>If you have Kerberos enabled, setup the security protocol</p> |
| |
| <div> |
| <div> |
| <pre class="source">$ cat /tmp/consumergroup.config |
| security.protocol=SASL_PLAINTEXT |
| </pre></div></div> |
| |
| <p>Now run the following command for a running topology’s consumer group. In this example we are using enrichments.</p> |
| |
| <div> |
| <div> |
| <pre class="source">${KAFKA_HOME}/bin/kafka-consumer-groups.sh \ |
| --command-config=/tmp/consumergroup.config \ |
| --describe \ |
| --group enrichments \ |
| --bootstrap-server $BROKERLIST \ |
| --new-consumer |
| </pre></div></div> |
| |
| <p>This will return a table with the following output depicting offsets for all partitions and consumers associated with the specified consumer group:</p> |
| |
| <div> |
| <div> |
| <pre class="source">GROUP TOPIC PARTITION CURRENT-OFFSET LOG-END-OFFSET LAG OWNER |
| enrichments enrichments 9 29746066 29746067 1 consumer-2_/xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx |
| enrichments enrichments 3 29754325 29754326 1 consumer-1_/xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx |
| enrichments enrichments 43 29754331 29754332 1 consumer-6_/xxx.xxx.xxx.xxx |
| ... |
| </pre></div></div> |
| |
| <p><i>Note</i>: You won’t see any output until a topology is actually running because the consumer groups only exist while consumers in the spouts are up and running.</p> |
| <p>The primary column we’re concerned with paying attention to is the LAG column, which is the current delta calculation between the current and end offset for the partition. This tells us how close we are to keeping up with incoming data. And, as we found through multiple trials, whether there are any problems with specific consumers getting stuck.</p> |
| <p>Taking this one step further, it’s probably more useful if we can watch the offsets and lags change over time. In order to do this we’ll add a “watch” command and set the refresh rate to 10 seconds.</p> |
| |
| <div> |
| <div> |
| <pre class="source">watch -n 10 -d ${KAFKA_HOME}/bin/kafka-consumer-groups.sh \ |
| --command-config=/tmp/consumergroup.config \ |
| --describe \ |
| --group enrichments \ |
| --bootstrap-server $BROKERLIST \ |
| --new-consumer |
| </pre></div></div> |
| |
| <p>Every 10 seconds the command will re-run and the screen will be refreshed with new information. The most useful bit is that the watch command will highlight the differences from the current output and the last output screens.</p></div></div> |
| <div class="section"> |
| <h3><a name="Parser_Tuning"></a>Parser Tuning</h3> |
| <p>We’ll be using the bro sensor in this example. Note that the parsers and PCAP use a builder utility, as opposed to enrichments and indexing, which use Flux.</p> |
| <p>We started with a single partition for the inbound Kafka topics and eventually worked our way up to 48. And We’re using the following pending value, as shown below. The default is ‘null’ which would result in no limit.</p> |
| <p><b>storm-bro.config</b></p> |
| |
| <div> |
| <div> |
| <pre class="source">{ |
| ... |
| "topology.max.spout.pending" : 2000 |
| ... |
| } |
| </pre></div></div> |
| |
| <p>And the following default spout settings. Again, this can be ommitted entirely since we are using the defaults.</p> |
| <p><b>spout-bro.config</b></p> |
| |
| <div> |
| <div> |
| <pre class="source">{ |
| ... |
| "spout.pollTimeoutMs" : 200, |
| "spout.maxUncommittedOffsets" : 10000000, |
| "spout.offsetCommitPeriodMs" : 30000 |
| } |
| </pre></div></div> |
| |
| <p>And we ran our bro parser topology with the following options. We did not need to fully match the number of Kafka partitions with our parallelism in this case, though you could certainly do so if necessary. Notice that we only needed 1 worker.</p> |
| |
| <div> |
| <div> |

| <pre class="source">org.apache.kafka.clients.consumer.CommitFailedException: Commit cannot be completed since the group has already rebalanced and assigned |
| the partitions to another member. This means that the time between subsequent calls to poll() was longer than the configured session.timeout.ms, |
| which typically implies that the poll loop is spending too much time message processing. You can address this either by increasing the |
| session timeout or by reducing the maximum size of batches returned in poll() with max.poll.records |
| </pre></div></div> |

| <p><b>Suggestions</b></p> |
| <p>This implies that the spout hasn’t been given enough time between polls before committing the offsets. In other words, the amount of time taken to process the messages is greater than the timeout window. In order to fix this, you can improve message throughput by modifying the options outlined above, increasing the poll timeout, or both.</p></div> |
