[SUPPORT] - Performance Variation in Hudi 0.14

[RuyRoaV]

Describe the problem you faced

We have a Glue 4.0 job to perform an upsert on a Hudi managed COW table. In some occasions, the Glue job runs in under 5 minutes, whereas in others it runs for up to 20 minutes. Moreover, we have noticed that, in those instances, the job is performing a count at HoodieSparkSqlWriter.scala:1072 action for over 17 minutes; in other job runs this only takes around 1 minute.

Regarding some specifications for the table:

We have 3 partition fields:

• year : int
• month: int
• day : int

A precombine field:

• epoch: bigint

and 3 recordkey fields:

• node_id : string
• container_id : string
• container_label: string

You can see more about the table description here:

We are also using a BLOOM type index and these are some other configurations that we are setting.

Could you please advise us on which actions we should take to bring down the execution time?

Expected behavior

We would like to understand why we are looking this variation in the execution times and advice on the actions needed

to prevent this behaviour.

@RuyRoaV Can you provide event logs or spark UI.

On configurations, I recommend not to use archive beyond save point. You can also try to use SIMPLE index once. As for some of the usecases where most of the file groups are updated, SIMPLE index perform much better.

Hello @ad1happy2go

I have attached some screenshots of the Spark UI. Is there any specific screen that you'd like to see?

Thanks for the input, will take that into account. I've also seen on some other GitHub issues, seen changing to and RLI index being recommended. Would that work for a COW table? or would the SIMPLE index still be a better approach?

Best regards,

@RuyRoaV RLI will work if you need global index. It works for COW table as well.
