Description

Looking at https://integration.wikimedia.org/ci/job/quibble-vendor-mysql-hhvm-docker/38008/console for https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/extensions/ContentTranslation/+/480896 I see weird test failures.

In the log artifacts I see:
Error: 1114 The table 'l10n_cache' is full (/workspace/db/quibble-mysql-ay4501pw/socket)
Followed by
Error: 2006 MySQL server has gone away (/workspace/db/quibble-mysql-ay4501pw/socket)

On first though I checked the disk space usage. From https://grafana-labs.wikimedia.org/dashboard/db/labs-project-board?panelId=18&fullscreen&orgId=1&var-project=integration&var-server=integration-slave-docker-1052&from=now-2d&to=now

slavedocker1052disk.png (665×1 px, 81 KB)

So apparently it had plenty of disk space.

Then I realized the database is on a tmpfs. That is done by running the Quibble container with:

--tmpfs /workspace/db:size=256M --db-dir /workspace/db

So somehow the 256MBytes tmpfs is exhausted.

PHPUnit uses HashBagOStuff. The rest use SqlBagOStuff for the l10n cache. Grepping the logs:

All of those are solely for the ContentTranslation extension. The first build failure was for https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/#/c/mediawiki/extensions/ContentTranslation/+/494316/ on March 4th. So that is fairly recent.

The job has lot of mediawiki extensions injected, so the issue might be related to another extension.

I don't know whether we always have been at the limit and started to overflow it or whether some recently introduced change causes the l10n cache to suddenly by way too big.

And my next question is: should we just raise the tmpfs size (currently 256MBytes) or look at MediaWiki phpunit suite so that it stops accumulating l10n cache over and over?

• Nikerabbit added a comment.Mar 6 2019, 10:44 AM

This seems to be appearing at random tables now: https://gerrit.wikimedia.org/r/c/mediawiki/extensions/ContentTranslation/+/486008 – that doesn't mean l10n_cache isn't the driver for it though. ContentTranslation pulls a bunch of extensions as dependencies which make it even bigger. It also wastes a lot of space which is something that I have proposed to reconsider a while ago (cannot find the relevant task right now)

How about configuring LocalisationCache to write to the disk instead of the DB? Would that help anything or just shift the issue?

@Nikerabbit That would solve it, I think. The workspace/src and cache directories afaik are not on tmpfs and thus not RAM-bound. There'd be plenty of space for it there.

I was checking LocalSettings.php from https://integration.wikimedia.org/ci/job/quibble-vendor-mysql-hhvm-docker/38008/artifact/log/ and it seems it would be sufficient to configure $wgCacheDirectory to a suitable location. wgLocalisationCacheConf is not set which means it will default to CDB files if the cache directory is configured, otherwise the l10n_cache table.

hashar added a comment.Mar 12 2019, 10:55 AM

Sorry I was wrong in my previous comment mentioning PHPUnit high use. It is being run from CLI. Another view is:

  1 cli.log:[caches] LocalisationCacheBulkLoad: using store LCStoreDB
  1 cli.log:[caches] LocalisationCache: using store LCStoreDB
 30 cli.log:[caches] LocalisationCache: using store LCStoreNull
832 www.log:[caches] LocalisationCache: using store LCStoreDB

Quibble invokes rebuildLocalisationCache (cc23bfd7caddf1bb1fe164648f49b9daaad04edb) after running update.php for mediaiwiki and extensions. I did that because update.php does not populate the cache (T22471) and that caused the first web queries to slow down/racing when updating the same l10n table in the database T196347. That is for the context.

Quibble only builds the en cache, which at least solved the issue I encountered with SQLite.

Potentially using a cdb file would be faster to create and read from compared to the database? The appropriate setting ($wLocalisationCacheConf ?) can be set directly into mediawiki/core configuration file includes/DevelopmentSettings.php which is loaded by CI. I guess one can set it up to file to use CDB files. It is worth a try.

I would assume the cache directory would default to $IP/cache.

Krinkle added a comment.EditedMar 12 2019, 5:52 PM

This does not belong in DevelopmentSettings.php. It has no relation to debugging or development. I recommend adding it to quibble/local-settings.php instead, where other CI settings are.

Also, remember this is unbreak now. Lang Eng are unable to merge any patches for over a week now.

This does not belong in DevelopmentSettings.php. It has no relation to debugging or development. I recommend adding it to quibble/local-settings.php instead, where other CI settings are.

I will eventually remove those PHP files from Quibble entirely in favor of mediawiki/core include/DevelopmentSettings.php or really any other mechanism developers would favor as long as it is not hardcoded in Quibble or the CI Docker container. Having to cut a new release of Quibble or rebuilding containers for a config change does not really scale well :-]

There are talk about being able to inject configuration dynamically when starting MediaWiki (eg via environment variables). That would probably become a requirement as we shift toward running MediaWiki in containers on Kubernetes.

Hence why I am proposing to tweak the config directly into mediawiki/core.

Anyway I went to reproduce on my local machine to track down what exactly is going. I ran the tests while watching the database directory growing up. The magic commands:

install -d -m 777 cache
install -d -m 777 workspace

exec docker run \
	--init --rm \
	--volume /home/hashar/projects:/srv/git:ro \

mysql first creates a few files when the database is initialized. With MariaDB 10 I got:

mkdir -p /tmp/dummydb
mysql_install_db --datadir=/tmp/dummydb --user="$USER"
$ find /tmp/dummydb/ -size +50k -printf '%k 1kblocks %f\n'
92 1kblocks help_keyword.MYD
96 1kblocks innodb_table_stats.ibd
96 1kblocks innodb_index_stats.ibd
396 1kblocks help_topic.MYD
96 1kblocks gtid_slave_pos.ibd
49152 1kblocks ib_logfile1
49152 1kblocks ib_logfile0
12288 1kblocks ibdata1
$ du /tmp/dummydb/
8	/tmp/dummydb/performance_schema
1092	/tmp/dummydb/mysql
111716	/tmp/dummydb/

So just on initialization, MySQL already consumes almost half of the 256MBytes tmpfs.

Then after install:

db fileSize
ibdata176 MBytes
ib_logfile048 MBytes
ib_logfile148 MBytes
Total172 MBytes

The disk usage consumption then roughly looks like:

hashar lowered the priority of this task from Unbreak Now! to High.Mar 13 2019, 10:33 AM

The bump from 256M to 320M must be good enough and I have updated the Jenkins jobs. Lowering priority to High.

Right now we can have up to 5 jobs in parallel, so that is a memory pressure going from 5 * 256MB = 1280 MB to 5 * 320MB = 1600 MB. Or a 320MB increase. Looking at the instances memory usage: that fits right now.

If it is still a problem, we will want to bump the tmpfs size further but that might affect the instances running the jobs.

I have filled T218196: Optimize MySQL settings for MediaWiki CI / Quibble to initialize a smaller database, optimize settings and find the right size for the tmpfs.

Seems good now. The builds are still failing due to T26689: Email all commenters when a followup rev is being committed though.

A follow up action is to tweak mysql settings which is T218196: Optimize MySQL settings for MediaWiki CI / Quibble
