Dear Experts,

I need your suggestions to resolve the performance issue reported on our PostgreSQL9.1 production database having 1.5 TB Size. I have observed that, some select queries with order by clause are taking lot of time in execution and forcing applications to give slow response.

The configuration of database server is :

Architecture:         x86_64
CPU op-mode(s):        32-bit, 64-bit
CPU's : 8
Core(s) per socket:    4
Socket(s):             2
Model name:            Intel(R) Xeon(R) CPU E5-2609 0 @ 2.40GHz

RAM : 32 GB
SWAP :8 Gb

Kernel parameter:

kernel.shmmax = 32212254720
kernel.shmall = 1073741824


Values of PostgreSQL.conf parameters are :

shared_buffers = 10GB
temp_buffers = 32MB
work_mem = 512MB
maintenance_work_mem = 2048MB
max_files_per_process = 2000
checkpoint_segments = 200
max_wal_senders = 5
wal_buffers = -1                      # min 32kB, -1 sets based on shared_buffers


Queries taking lot of time are:

Hello Dinesh,

You can try the EXPLAIN tool

psql=> EXPLAIN ANALYZE SELECT DISTINCT feature_id FROM evidence.point p
INNER JOIN evidence.observation_evidence oe ON p.feature_id =
oe.evd_feature_id WHERE p.domain_class_id IN (11) AND (p.modification_time
> '2015-05-10 00:06:56.056 IST' OR oe.modification_time > '2015-05-10
00:06:56.056 IST') ORDER BY feature_id

Then paste here the result.

Thanks

I think that's a fundamentally slow query and you're not going to be able
to make it better without rethinking your requirements and/or data
representation.  As written, that requires the server to form the entire
join of p to oe on feature_id, with the only filter before the join being
the evidently-none-too-selective domain_class_id condition.  Only after
joining can it apply the OR condition.  So this is inherently processing a
lot of rows.

If the OR arms were individually pretty selective you could rewrite this
into a UNION of two joins, a la the discussion at
https://www.postgresql.org/message-id/flat/7f70bd5a-5d16-e05c-f0b4-2fdfc8873489@BlueTreble.com
but given the dates involved I'm betting that won't help very much.

Or maybe you could try

select feature_id from p where domain_class_id IN (11) AND p.modification_time > '2015-05-10 00:06:56.056 IST'
intersect
select feature_id from oe where oe.modification_time > '2015-05-10 00:06:56.056 IST'
order by feature_id

although I'm not entirely certain that that has exactly the same
semantics (-ENOCAFFEINE), and it might still be none too quick.

Why wouldn't this be using a bitmap scan rather than a regular index scan?
It seems like it should prefer the bitmap scan, unless the table is well
clustered on domain_class_id.  In which case, why isn't it just faster?

You could try repeating the explain analyze after setting enable_indexscan
=off to see what that gives.  If it gives a seq scan, then repeat with
enable_seqscan also turned off.  Or If it gives the bitmap scan, then
repeat with enable_bitmapscan turned off.

How many rows is in point, and how big is it?

The best bet for making this better might be to have an index on
(domain_class_id, modification_time) and hope for an index only scan.
Except that you are on 9.1, so first you would have to upgrade.  Which
would allow you to use BUFFERS in the explain analyze, as well as
track_io_timings, both of which would also be pretty nice to see.  Using
9.1 is like having one hand tied behind your back.

Also, any idea why this execution of this query 15 is times faster than the
execution you found in the log file?  Was the top output you showed in the
first email happening at the time the really slow query was running, or was
that from a different period?

Cheers,

Jeff

Could you send:

SELECT * FROM pg_stats WHERE tablename='point' AND attname='domain_class_id' ;

.. or if that's too verbose or you don't want to share the histogram or MCV
list:

SELECT correlation FROM pg_stats WHERE tablename='point' AND attname='domain_class_id' ;

I missed your response until now, and can't see that anybody else responded,
but I suspect the issue is that the *table* is highly correlated WRT this
column, but the index may not be, probably due to duplicated index keys.
postgres only stores statistics on expression indices, and falls back to
correlation of table column of a simple indices.

If you're still fighting this, would you send result of:

SELECT domain_class_id, count(1) FROM point GROUP BY 1 ORDER BY 2 DESC LIMIT 22;
or,
SELECT count(1) FROM point GROUP BY domain_class_id ORDER BY 1 DESC LIMIT 22;

if there's much repetition in the index keys, then PG's planner thinks an index
scan has low random_page_cost, and effective_cache_size has little effect on
large tables, and it never uses bitmap scan, which blows up if the index is
fragmented and has duplicate keys.  The table reads end up costing something
like 1454751*random_page_cost nonsequential reads and fseek() calls when it
thinks it'll cost only 1454751*16*seq_page_cost.

Is the query much faster if you first reindex point_domain_class_id_index ?

This has come up before, see:
