* Stop Allocating Buffers in CopyBytesSocketChannel (#49825)
The way things currently work, we read up to 1M from the channel
and then potentially force all of it into the `ByteBuf` passed
by Netty. Since that `ByteBuf` tends to by default be `64k` in size,
large reads will force the buffer to grow, completely circumventing
the logic of `allocHandle`.
This seems like it could break
`io.netty.channel.RecvByteBufAllocator.Handle#continueReading`
since that method for the fixed-size allocator does check
whether the last read was equal to the attempted read size.
So if we set `64k` because that's what the buffer size is,
then wirte `1M` to the buffer we will stop reading on the IO loop,
even though the channel may still have bytes that we can read right away.
More imporatantly though, this can lead to running OOM quite easily
under IO pressure as we are forcing the heap buffers passed to the read
to `reallocate`.
Closes#49699
* Copying the request is not necessary here. We can simply release it once the response has been generated and a lot of `Unpooled` allocations that way
* Relates #32228
* I think the issue that preventet that PR that PR from being merged was solved by #39634 that moved the bulk index marker search to ByteBuf bulk access so the composite buffer shouldn't require many additional bounds checks (I'd argue the bounds checks we add, we save when copying the composite buffer)
* I couldn't neccessarily reproduce much of a speedup from this change, but I could reproduce a very measureable reduction in GC time with e.g. Rally's PMC (4g heap node and bulk requests of size 5k saw a reduction in young GC time by ~10% for me)
The default merge cumulator used in netty transport leads to additional
GC pressure and memory copying when a message that exceeds the chunk
size is handled. This is especially a problem on G1 GC, since we get
many "humongous" allocations and that can in theory cause real memory
circuit breaker to break unnecessarily.
Backport of #48849. Update `.editorconfig` to make the Java settings the
default for all files, and then apply a 2-space indent to all `*.gradle`
files. Then reformat all the files.
This commit introduces a consistent, and type-safe manner for handling
global build parameters through out our build logic. Primarily this
replaces the existing usages of extra properties with static accessors.
It also introduces and explicit API for initialization and mutation of
any such parameters, as well as better error handling for uninitialized
or eager access of parameter values.
Closes#42042
The 1MB IO-buffer size per transport thread is causing trouble in
some tests, albeit at a low rate. Reducing the number of transport
threads was not enough to fully fix this situation.
Allowing to configure the size of the buffer and reducing it by
more than an order of magnitude should fix these tests.
Closes#46803
BytesReference is currently an abstract class which is extended by
various implementations. This makes it very difficult to use the
delegation pattern. The implication of this is that our releasable
BytesReference is a PagedBytesReference type and cannot be used as a
generic releasable bytes reference that delegates to any reference type.
This commit makes BytesReference an interface and introduces an
AbstractBytesReference for common functionality.
This commit removes the randomization used by every execute call in the
high level rest tests. Previously every execute call, which can be many
calls per single test, would rely on a random boolean to determine if
they should use the sync or async methods provided to the execute
method. This commit runs the tests twice, using two different clusters,
both of them providing the value one time via a sysprop. This ensures
that the whole suite of tests is run using the sync and async code
paths.
Closes#39667
This commit removes a problematic assertion that the netty default
allocator is not used. This assertion is problematic because any other
test can cause this task to fail by touching the default allocator. We
assert that we are using heap buffers in the channel.
This commit removes the option to change the netty system properties to
reenable the direct buffer pooling. It also removes the need for us to
disable the buffer pooling in the system properties file. Instead, we
programmatically craete an allocator that is used by our networking
layer.
This commit does introduce an Elasticsearch property which allows the
user to fallback on the netty default allocator. If they choose this
option, they can configure the default allocator how they wish using the
standard netty properties.
Currently in production instances of Elasticsearch we set a couple of
system properties by default. We currently do not apply all of these
system properties in tests. This commit applies these properties in the
tests.
Some netty behavior is controlled by system properties. While we want to
test with the defaults for Elasticsearch for most tests, within netty we
want to ensure these netty settings exhibit correct behavior. This
commit adds variants of test and integTest tasks for netty which set the
unpooled and direct buffer pooled allocators.
relates #45881
Currently we use a custom CopyBytesSocketChannel for interfacing with
netty. We have integration tests that use this channel, however we never
verify the read and write behavior in the face of potential partial
writes. This commit adds a test for this behavior.
This commit namespaces the existing processors setting under the "node"
namespace. In doing so, we deprecate the existing processors setting in
favor of node.processors.
Currently we take the array of nio buffers from the netty channel
outbound buffer and copy their bytes to a direct buffer. In the process
we mutate the nio buffer positions. It seems like netty will continue to
reuse these buffers. This means than any data that is not flushed in a
call is lost. This commit fixes this by incrementing the positions after
the flush has completed. This is similar to the behavior that
SocketChannel would have provided and netty relied upon.
Fixes#45444.
Elasticsearch does not grant Netty reflection access to get Unsafe. The
only mechanism that currently exists to free direct buffers in a timely
manner is to use Unsafe. This leads to the occasional scenario, under
heavy network load, that direct byte buffers can slowly build up without
being freed.
This commit disables Netty direct buffer pooling and moves to a strategy
of using a single thread-local direct buffer for interfacing with sockets.
This will reduce the memory usage from networking. Elasticsearch
currently derives very little value from direct buffer usage (TLS,
compression, Lucene, Elasticsearch handling, etc all use heap bytes). So
this seems like the correct trade-off until that changes.
Uses JDK 11's per-socket configuration of TCP keepalive (supported on Linux and Mac), see
https://bugs.openjdk.java.net/browse/JDK-8194298, and exposes these as transport settings.
By default, these options are disabled for now (i.e. fall-back to OS behavior), but we would like
to explore whether we can enable them by default, in particular to force keepalive configurations
that are better tuned for running ES.
Currently in the transport-nio work we connect and bind channels on the
a thread before the channel is registered with a selector. Additionally,
it is at this point that we set all the socket options. This commit
moves these operations onto the event-loop after the channel has been
registered with a selector. It attempts to set the socket options for a
non-server channel at registration time. If that fails, it will attempt
to set the options after the channel is connected. This should fix
#41071.
* Stop Passing Around REST Request in Multiple Spots
* Motivated by #44564
* We are currently passing the REST request object around to a large number of places. This works fine since we simply copy the full request content before we handle the rest itself which is needlessly hard on GC and heap.
* This PR removes a number of spots where the request is passed around needlessly. There are many more spots to optimize in follow-ups to this, but this one would already enable bypassing the request copying for some error paths in a follow up.
* We should not create a new wrapper object if there's no bytes in the `ByteBuf`
* We should not create a new wrapped `ByteBuf` if it can't contain a message anyway because it doesn't even have enough bytes for a header left
Today we have an annotation for controlling logging levels in
tests. This annotation serves two purposes, one is to control the
logging level used in tests, when such control is needed to impact and
assert the behavior of loggers in tests. The other use is when a test is
failing and additional logging is needed. This commit separates these
two concerns into separate annotations.
The primary motivation for this is that we have a history of leaving
behind the annotation for the purpose of investigating test failures
long after the test failure is resolved. The accumulation of these stale
logging annotations has led to excessive disk consumption. Having
recently cleaned this up, we would like to avoid falling into this state
again. To do this, we are adding a link to the test failure under
investigation to the annotation when used for the purpose of
investigating test failures. We will add tooling to inspect these
annotations, in the same way that we have tooling on awaits fix
annotations. This will enable us to report on the use of these
annotations, and report when stale uses of the annotation exist.
This commit moves the config that stores Cors options into the server
package. Currently both nio and netty modules must have a copy of this
config. Moving it into server allows one copy and the tests to be in a
common location.
Simplifies AbstractSimpleTransportTestCase to use JVM-local ports and also adds an assertion so
that cases like #44134 can be more easily debugged. The likely reason for that one is that a test,
which was repeated again and again while always spawning a fresh Gradle worker (due to Gradle
daemon) kept increasing Gradle worker IDs, causing an overflow at some point.
We had this as a dependency for legacy dependencies that still needed
the Log4j 1.2 API. This appears to no longer be necessary, so this
commit removes this artifact as a dependency.
To remove this dependency, we had to fix a few places where we were
accidentally relying on Log4j 1.2 instead of Log4j 2 (easy to do, since
both APIs were on the compile-time classpath).
Finally, we can remove our custom Netty logger factory. This was needed
when we were on Log4j 1.2 and handled logging in our own unique
way. When we migrated to Log4j 2 we could have dropped this
dependency. However, even then Netty would still pick up Log4j 1.2 since
it was on the classpath, thus the advantage to removing this as a
dependency now.
* Don't force the logger in the Netty4Plugin class already, at this point log4j might not be fully initialized.
* The call was redundant anyway since we do the same thing in the Netty4Transport and Netty4HttpServerTransport classes already and there we do it properly after setting up log4j by initilizing the loggers
* Relates #42532
This is related to #27260. Currently there is a setting
http.read_timeout that allows users to define a read timeout for the
http transport. This commit implements support for this functionality
with the transport-nio plugin. The behavior here is that a repeating
task will be scheduled for the interval defined. If there have been
no requests received since the last run and there are no inflight
requests, the channel will be closed.
* Replace usages RandomizedTestingTask with built-in Gradle Test (#40978)
This commit replaces the existing RandomizedTestingTask and supporting code with Gradle's built-in JUnit support via the Test task type. Additionally, the previous workaround to disable all tasks named "test" and create new unit testing tasks named "unitTest" has been removed such that the "test" task now runs unit tests as per the normal Gradle Java plugin conventions.
(cherry picked from commit 323f312bbc829a63056a79ebe45adced5099f6e6)
* Fix forking JVM runner
* Don't bump shadow plugin version
Many gradle projects specifically use the -try exclude flag, because
there are many cases where auto-closeable resource ignore is never
referenced in body of corresponding try statement. Suppressing this
warning specifically in each case that it happens using
`@SuppressWarnings("try")` would be very verbose.
This change removes `-try` from any gradle project and adds it to the
build plugin. Also this change removes exclude flags from gradle projects
that is already specified in build plugin (for example -deprecation).

This commit adds an InboundHandler to handle inbound message processing.
With this commit, this code is moved out of the TcpTransport.
Additionally, finer grained unit tests are added to ensure that the
inbound processing works as expected
Currently there are some components of message serializer and sending
that still occur in TcpTransport. This commit makes it possible to
send a message without the TcpTransport by moving all of the remaining
application logic to the OutboundHandler. Additionally, it adds unit
tests to ensure that this logic works as expected.
Currently, we maintain a transport name ("mock-nio", "nio", "netty")
that is passed to a `TcpTransportChannel` when a request is received.
The value of this name is to associate with the task when we register a
task with the task manager. However, it is only possible to run ES with
one transport, so having an implementation specific name is unnecessary.
This commit removes the name and replaces it with the generic
"transport".
* Optimize Bulk Message Parsing and Message Length Parsing
* findNextMarker took almost 1ms per invocation during the PMC rally track
* Fixed to be about an order of magnitude faster by using Netty's bulk `ByteBuf` search
* It is unnecessary to instantiate an object (the input stream wrapper) and throw it away, just to read the `int` length from the message bytes
* Fixed by adding bulk `int` read to BytesReference
In integration tests where `setBootstrapMasterNodeIndex()` is used in
combination with `autoMinMasterNodes = false` the cluster can start
bootstrapping once the number of nodes set with the
`setBootstrapMasterNodeIndex` have been started but it's not ensured
that all nodes have successfully joined to form the cluster.
This behaviour was introduced with 5db7ed22a0
and in order to ensure that the cluster is properly formed before proceeding
with the integration test, use `ensureStableCluster()` with the
appropriate number of expected nodes.
Fixes: #39220
We have had various reports of problems caused by the maxRetryTimeout
setting in the low-level REST client. Such setting was initially added
in the attempts to not have requests go through retries if the request
already took longer than the provided timeout.
The implementation was problematic though as such timeout would also
expire in the first request attempt (see #31834), would leave the
request executing after expiration causing memory leaks (see #33342),
and would not take into account the http client internal queuing (see #25951).
Given all these issues, it seems that this custom timeout mechanism
gives little benefits while causing a lot of harm. We should rather rely
on connect and socket timeout exposed by the underlying http client
and accept that a request can overall take longer than the configured
timeout, which is the case even with a single retry anyways.
This commit removes the `maxRetryTimeout` setting and all of its usages.
