[vParquet2] The next version of Tempo's parquet based block format #2244

stoewer · 2023-03-21T12:35:41Z

What this PR does:

Creates a new tempodb encoding named vParquet2. The new encoding implements parquet schema changes that are not compatible with vParquet:

Renamed columns to make the schema more consistent and closer to names and terminologies used by OTEL
Add a dedicated span column for duration
Additional columns that will enable new TraceQL features
Represent repeated groups as nested list types to improve the compatibility with other parquet based tools

Review hints

The PR contains a lot of code coppied from vParquet which makes it difficult to spot the differences between vParquet and vParquet2. I created a second PR [vParquet2] all commits for vParquet2 as changes of the existing vParquet #2243 that implements all changes for vParquet2 in the vParquet tree
Commits in this PR are atomic and can be reviewed separately. This may also help with the review.
Consider rebase merge instead of squash merge in order to preserve this individual vParquet2 schema changes

Which issue(s) this PR fixes:
Contributes to grafana/tempo-squad#179 and #2226

Checklist

Tests updated
Documentation added
CHANGELOG.md updated - the order of entries should be [CHANGE], [FEATURE], [ENHANCEMENT], [BUGFIX]

This is surprisingly complete for a first pass. Nice work. I have some comments on cleaning up the encodings, but other than that this looks good.

As discussed we will get the parent,nestedsetleft/right columns in this PR, but follow up with actually populating them later.

Do you have a benchmark on hand that shows the benefit from the new span duration column? It would be neat to see the improvement for a query like { duration > 1s }

Do you have a benchmark on hand that shows the benefit from the new span duration column?

No, I didn't benchmark it. Should I add one?

Do you have a benchmark on hand that shows the benefit from the new span duration column?

No, I didn't benchmark it. Should I add one?

No that's ok, I think this is tough to benchmark on synthetic data but if you had some numbers offhand I was curious. I didn't see a benefit locally between vparquet and vparquet2 which is how I came across the predicate recommendation.

Make column names using timestamps more consistent and more similar the names used by OTEL

Rename columns to match the latest OTEL standard

Increases performance of queries for span duration, as it is no longer required to search two columns to get the span duration

The columns are a prerequisite to improve structural TraceQL queries The new columns are not populated yet

This makes the schema more similar to the OTEL standard and makes it possible to add a numeric span ID later (see ParentID vs ParentSpanID)

This improves the compatibility with other tooling using the parquet format such as parquet-mr/parquet-cli

This prevents potential bugs with nil predicates where '== nil' is false because the value pointer is nil but the type pointer is not

Since there is now a dedicated duration column, queries for duration can be treated more like any other integer column

mdisibio

LGTM. Last changes for duration look good, seeing a benchmark improvement for those queries as expected.
