Add CFR and WTF diagnostics programs #88

amotl · 2023-12-01T13:17:57Z

About

WTF

There are many smart queries to leverage information from CrateDB's internal sys.* tables. This subsystem aims to bundle and collect them, in order to unlock easy access from CLI and HTTP interfaces, and to be able to use them as building blocks for other software components.

CFR

Export and import CrateDB system tables conveniently.

Status

It is still a work in progress, and needs more attention and love. What can be done right now is outlined within the preview section. Any kind of help to expand this is much appreciated.

Documentation

Rendered in preview mode.

Both documents include directives to outline how operations work using Docker. However, the program can also be installed natively, also while not on PyPI yet. Please use one of those commands to acquire the software. When using Docker, make sure to use the cratedb-toolkit:pr-88 image on GHCR for preview purposes.

# Native
pip install --upgrade 'cratedb-wtf @ git+https://github.com/crate-workbench/cratedb-toolkit@cratedb-wtf'

# OCI
docker pull ghcr.io/crate-workbench/cratedb-toolkit:pr-88

Dear @hlcianfagna, @hammerhead, and @WalBeh,

I would like to implement tailing the sys.jobs_log table in one way or another. Actually, tail --follow. Did you manage to do that yet, using any kind of OFFSET/LIMIT magic?

SELECT * FROM sys.jobs_log OFFSET -10; SELECT * FROM sys.jobs_log OFFSET (SELECT count(*) FROM sys.jobs_log)-10;

Those statements outlined above failed for me. Is there any way to get the number of total records out of the subselect into the OFFSET parameter? Most probably, I am only too silly to make it work, so I am humbly asking for your support.

Cheers,
Andreas.

SELECT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP AS last_timestamp, (ended / 10000) * 10000 + 5000 AS ended_time, COUNT(*) / 10.0 AS qps, TRUNC(AVG(ended::bigint - started::bigint), 2) AS duration, UPPER(regexp_matches(stmt, '^\s*(\w+).*') [1]) AS query_type FROM sys.jobs_log WHERE ended > now() - ('15 minutes')::interval GROUP BY 1, 2, 5 ORDER BY ended_time ASC

This is the query used in the panel to show the latest 15 minutes QPS, perhaps it can serve as inspiration :P

Thanks. So this is synthesizing the limiting by timestamp, compared to what is stored within the ended column? Hmm. Naturally I'd favor a more generic solution, but in this case, it could make an acceptable workaround. Sweet.

What's stored in ended when, well, the query has not finished yet? For emulating a tail -f, I'd probably better rely on started instead?

It seems empty when it doesn't have a value.

Something like

Query ran at 2023-12-02T11:02:47.288Z on CrateDB 5.5.0

SELECT DATE_FORMAT(started) FROM "sys"."jobs_log" ORDER BY started DESC LIMIT 10

QUERY OK, 10 record(s) returned in 0.0045s

date_format(started)

"2023-12-02T11:02:40.890000Z"

"2023-12-02T11:02:40.825000Z"

"2023-12-02T11:02:40.822000Z"

"2023-12-02T11:02:40.819000Z"

"2023-12-02T11:02:40.819000Z"

"2023-12-02T11:02:40.819000Z"

"2023-12-02T11:02:40.819000Z"

"2023-12-02T11:02:35.892000Z"

"2023-12-02T11:02:35.821000Z"

"2023-12-02T11:02:35.821000Z"

Seem to work just fine as tail -f

To follow what is new I would keep track of the last started timestamp observed and query what is new

In order to get this patch merged, we postponed this by adding it as an item to the backlog.

https://github.com/crate-workbench/cratedb-toolkit/blob/1c437cad2533c2e47423e7c32a6f15e79f5adcd1/doc/wtf/backlog.md?plain=1#L5-L6

We created a dedicated issue, because it's a prominent feature yet missing.

[wtf] Provide tail -f on top of sys.jobs_log table #171

@hlcianfagna just shared this snippet gem which might be sensible in this context. Thanks.

Regarding checking which shards are being relocated and any allocation issues as well as reasons for it, this information can be found by querying sys.shards and sys.allocations for all shards that are not started.

SELECT * FROM sys.shards WHERE state <> 'STARTED'; SELECT * FROM sys.allocations WHERE current_state <> 'STARTED';

Is this already ready to reviewed or is this still in a draft mode? I'd be very fine this out of draft mode.

amotl · 2024-06-05T10:33:16Z

Thank you for your excellent and thorough review.

Many quirks you outlined have been originating from blatantly copying together valuable-looking queries from different sources. Trying to bring them into the shape outlined through wtf/library.py in a hurry, admittedly not knowing much about many details inside of them, the patch dearly needed support by experts in CrateDB SQL.

I like your suggestions, and will improve each item through corresponding fixups, or defer relevant items to later iterations.

amotl · 2024-06-13T11:52:49Z

I like your suggestions, and will improve each item through corresponding fixups, or defer relevant items to later iterations.

Thanks to your diligent review, this process yielded a whopping number of five items to be improved. I am deliberately postponing them to a later iteration, in order to get the PR merged soon, so we can start shipping the program. I hope you agree with that decision.

amotl · 2024-06-13T11:56:52Z

Re-issuing this PR for another review now. If you agree with all other resolvements, fixes, deferrals, or not, please let me also know which improvement you suggest at #88 (comment).

seut

Nice stuff, thanks!
Probably a few commits could be squashed...

Add basic implementation for `sys-export` and `sys-import` subcommands. It is about exporting system tables of CrateDB into SQL DDL and JSONL files, and re-importing them for later analysis.

- Forward CLI options `--listen` and `--reload` to implementation - Improve documentation about the `--listen` and `--reload` options - Assign random port when `--listen` is supplied without port number

amotl · 2024-06-13T13:39:50Z

Thanks for the acknowledgement. While I agree, I don't know which commits exactly to squash best, and how to shape corresponding scopes and meaningful commit messages. So, I will be merging as-is, in order not to delay this patch any longer.

Being still in its infancy, I think it is good enough to have more detailed commit granularity in CrateDB Toolkit, until it will reach 0.1.x, or such.
