@Statistics

@Statistics — Returns statistics about the usage of the VoltDB database.

Synopsis

@Statistics String component, Integer delta-flag

Description

The @Statistics system procedure returns information about the VoltDB database. The first argument, component, specifies what aspect of VoltDB to return statistics about. The second argument, delta-flag, specifies whether statistics are reported from when the database started or since the last call to @Statistics where the flag was set.

Some components report statistics at the moment, collected when you make the procedure call. While other components report statistics over time. For cumulative components, if the delta flag is set to zero, the system procedure returns statistics since the database started. If the delta flag is non-zero, the system procedure returns statistics for the interval since the last time @Statistics was called with a non-zero flag. (If @Statistics has not been called with a non-zero flag before, the first call with the flag set returns statistics since startup.) The statistics that are affected by the delta flag are EXPORT, GC, IDLETIME, IMPORT, INITIATOR, IOSTATS, PLANNER, QUEUE, TTL, and the procedure statistics (PROCEDURE, PROCEDUREDETAIL, PROCEDUREINPUT, PROCEDUREOUTPUT, and PROCEDUREPROFILE).

Note that in a cluster with K-safety, if a node fails, the statistics reported by this procedure are reset to zero for the node when it rejoins the cluster.

The following are the allowable values of component:

"COMMANDLOG"

Returns information about the progress of command logging, including the number of segment files in use and the amount of command log data waiting to be written to disk.

"CPU"

Returns information about the amount of CPU used by each VoltDB server process. CPU usage is returned as a number between 0 and 100 representing the amount of CPU used by the VoltDB process out of the total CPU available for that server.

"DRCONSUMER"

Returns information about the status of database replication on a DR consumer, including the status and data replication rate of each partition. This information is available only if the database is licensed for database replication and operating as a passive DR replica or an active XDCR database.

"DRPRODUCER"

Returns information about the status of database replication on a producer database, including how much data is waiting to be sent to the consumer. This information is available only if the database is licensed for database replication and is operating as a passive master or an active XDCR database.

"DRROLE"

Returns information about the current state of database replication (DR), including the role of the cluster (master, replica, or XDCR) and whether DR has started, is running, stopped, or been disabled.

"EXPORT"

Returns statistics on the export streams and targets, including how many records have be written, how many are pending, and the status of the export connection.

"GC"

Returns statistics on Java garbage collection associated with the server process on each host.

"IDLETIME"

Returns statistics on how busy the partitions are. For each execution site, the results provide a minimum, maximum, and average amount of time the site waited without any transactions to process, as well as the overall percentage of time the site was waiting (that is, the partition was "idle").

"IMPORT"

Returns statistics on the import streams, including how many import transactions have succeeded, failed, and been retried and how many rows have been read but not applied yet.

"INDEX"

Returns information about the indexes in the database, including the number of keys for each index and the estimated amount of memory used to store those keys. Separate information is returned for each partition in the database.

"INITIATOR"

Returns information on the number of procedure invocations for each stored procedure (including system and import procedures). The count of invocations is reported for each connection to the database.

"IOSTATS"

Returns information on the number of messages and amount of data (in bytes) sent to and from each connection to the database.

"LATENCY"

Returns statistics on the latency of transactions. The information reports on median, percentage (99% through 99.999%), and maximum latency over the most recent five second sampling period.

"LIVECLIENTS"

Returns information about the number of outstanding requests per client. You can use this information to determine how much work is waiting in the execution queues.

"MANAGEMENT"

Returns the same information as MEMORY, INITIATOR, PROCEDURE, IOSTATS, TABLE, INDEX, IDLETIME, QUEUE, and CPU, except all in a single procedure call.

"MEMORY"

Returns statistics on the use of memory for each node in the cluster. MEMORY statistics include the current resident set size (RSS) of the VoltDB server process; the amount of memory used for Java temporary storage, database tables, indexes, and string (including varbinary) storage; as well as other information.

"PARTITIONCOUNT"

Returns information on the number of unique partitions in the cluster. The VoltDB cluster creates multiple partitions based on the number of servers and the number of sites per host requested. So, for example, a 2 node cluster with 4 sites per host will have 8 partitions. However, when you define a cluster with K-safety, there are duplicate partitions. PARTITIONCOUNT only reports the number of unique partitions available in the cluster.

"PLANNER"

Returns information on the use of cached plans within each partition. Queries in stored procedures are planned when the procedure is declared in the schema. However, ad hoc queries must be planned at runtime. To improve performance, VoltDB caches plans for ad hoc queries so they can be reused when a similar query is encountered later. There are two caches: the level 1 cache performs exact matches on queries and the level 2 cache parameterizes constants so it can match queries with the same plan but different input. The planner statistics provide information about the size of each cache, how frequently it is used, and the minimum, maximum, and average execution time of ad hoc queries as a result.

"PROCEDURE"

Returns information on the usage of stored procedures for each site within the database cluster sorted by partition. The information includes the name of the procedure, the number of invocations (for each site), and selected performance information on minimum, maximum, and average execution time.

"PROCEDUREDETAIL"

Returns detailed performance information about the individual statements within each stored procedure. PROCEDUREDETAIL returns information for each statement in each procedure, grouped by site and partition within the database cluster. The information includes the name of the procedure, the name of the statement, the number of invocations (for each site), and selected performance information on minimum, maximum, and average execution time.

"PROCEDUREINPUT"

Returns summary information on the size of the input data submitted with stored procedure invocations. PROCEDUREINPUT uses information from PROCEDURE, except it focuses on the input parameters and aggregates data for the entire cluster.

"PROCEDUREOUTPUT"

Returns summary information on the size of the result sets returned by stored procedure invocations. PROCEDUREOUTPUT uses information from PROCEDURE, except it focuses on the result sets and aggregates data for the entire cluster.

"PROCEDUREPROFILE"

Returns summary information on the usage of stored procedures averaged across all partitions in the cluster. The information from PROCEDUREPROFILE is similar to the information from PROCEDURE, except it focuses on the performance of the individual procedures rather than on procedures by partition. The weighted average across partitions is helpful for determining which stored procedures the application is spending most of its time in.

"QUEUE"

Returns statistics on the number of tasks in each partition's process queue and the average and maximum time tasks were waiting in the queue.

"REBALANCE"

Returns information on the current progress of rebalancing on the cluster. Rebalancing occurs when one or more nodes are added "on the fly" to an elastic cluster. If no rebalancing is occurring, no data is returned. During a rebalance, this selector returns information about the speed of migration of the data, the latency of rebalance tasks, and the estimated time until completion. All rebalance statistics are cumulative for the current rebalance activity.

"SNAPSHOTSTATUS"

Returns information about up to ten of the most recent snapshots performed by the database. The results include the directory path and prefix for the snapshot, when it occurred, how long it took, and whether the snapshot was completed successfully or not. The results report on both native and CSV snapshots, as well as manual, automated, and command log snapshots. Note that this selector does not tell you whether the snapshot files still exist, only that the snapshot was performed. Use the @SnapshotScan procedure to determine what snapshots are available.

"TABLE"

Returns information about the database tables, including the number of rows per site for each table. This information can be useful for seeing how well the rows are distributed across the cluster for partitioned tables.

"TASK"

Returns information about scheduled tasks and their current status. There are separate queues for the task schedulers and the task procedures, which run on the standard transactional partition queues. The TASK selector reports on both. Separate selectors for TASK_SCHEDULER and TASK_PROCEDURE report on a corresponding subset of the columns.

"TTL"

Returns information about the processing of expired data in "time to live" (TTL) tables, including how recently and how many records have been deleted.

Note that INITIATOR and PROCEDURE report information on both user-declared stored procedures and system procedures. These include certain system procedures that are used internally by VoltDB and are not intended to be called by client applications. Only the system procedures documented in this appendix are intended for client invocation.

Return Values

Returns different VoltTables depending on which component is requested. The following tables identify the structure of the return values for each component. (Note that the MANAGEMENT component returns seven VoltTables.)

  • INITIALIZE — DR is enabled and the replica is attempting to contact the producer

  • SYNC — DR has started and the consumer is synchronizing by receiving snapshots of existing data from the master

  • RECEIVE — DR is underway and the consumer is receiving binary logs from the master

  • DISABLE — DR has been canceled for some reason and the consumer is stopping DR

MODESTRINGA text string indicating whether this particular partition is replicating data to the consumer ("NORMAL") or not ("PAUSED"). Only one copy of each logical partition actually sends data during replication. So for clusters with a K-safety value greater than zero, not all physical partitions will report "NORMAL" even when replication is in progress.
QUEUE_GAPBIGINTThe number of missing transactions between those already acknowledged by the consumer and the next available for transmission. Under normal operating conditions, this value is zero.
CONNECTION​_STATUSSTRINGA text string indicating whether the connection to the consumer is operational ("UP") or not ("DOWN"). If the connection between the producer and consumer is broken or if the producer does not hear from the consumer for more than 30 seconds, the connection is marked as "DOWN".

SYNC​SNAPSHOT​STATESTRINGA text string indicating the current state of the synchronization snapshot that begins replication. During normal operation, this value is "NONE" indicating either that replication is not active or that transactions are actively being replicated. If a synchronization snapshot is in progress, this value provides additional information about the specific activity underway.

The current state of the DR relationship. Possible values are the following:

  • DISABLED — DR is not enabled for the cluster

  • PENDING — DR is enabled but communication with the other cluster has not begun

  • ACTIVE — Communication with the other cluster has begun

  • STOPPED — Communication with the other cluster has stopped due to a failure of some kind

Note that if DR stops, issuing the voltadmin dr reset command will return the cluster to the PENDING state.

Examples

The following example uses @Statistics to gather information about the distribution of table rows within the cluster:

$ sqlcmd
1> exec @Statistics TABLE, 0;

The next program example shows a procedure that collects and displays the number of transactions (i.e. stored procedures) during a given interval, by setting the delta flag to a non-zero value. By calling this procedure iteratively (for example, every five minutes), it is possible to identify fluctuations in the database workload over time (as measured by the number of transactions processed).

void measureWorkload() {
  VoltTable[] results = null;
  String procName;
  int procCount = 0;
  int sysprocCount = 0;

  try { results = client.callProcedure("@Statistics",
                  "INITIATOR",1).getResults(); }
  catch (Exception e) { e.printStackTrace(); }

  for (VoltTable t: results) { 
     for (int r=0;r<t.getRowCount();r++) {
         VoltTableRow row = t.fetchRow(r);
         procName = row.getString("PROCEDURE_NAME");
                /* Count system procedures separately */
         if (procName.substring(0,1).compareTo("@") == 0)
           { sysprocCount += row.getLong("INVOCATIONS"); }
         else 
           { procCount += row.getLong("INVOCATIONS"); }
     }
  }
  System.out.printf("System procedures: %d\n" +
                    "User-defined procedures: %d\n",+
                    sysprocCount,procCount);
}
