我有一个表示安全摄像头NVR元数据的数据库。每1分钟视频片段有一个26字节recording行。 (如果你很好奇,设计文档正在进行中here。)我的设计限制是8台摄像机,1年(约400万行,每台摄像机50万)。我已经伪造了一些数据来测试性能。此查询比我预期的要慢:

select
  recording.start_time_90k,
  recording.duration_90k,
  recording.video_samples,
  recording.sample_file_bytes,
  recording.video_sample_entry_id
from
  recording
where
  camera_id = ?
order by
  recording.start_time_90k;

这只是扫描相机的所有数据,使用索引过滤掉其他相机并订购。索引看起来像这样:

create index recording_camera_start on recording (camera_id, start_time_90k);

explain query plan看起来像预期的那样:

0|0|0|SEARCH TABLE recording USING INDEX recording_camera_start (camera_id=?)

行很小。

我喜欢这样的事情(可能每次只有一个月,而不是一整年)每次特定网页被点击时都要运行,所以我希望它能够非常快。但是在我的笔记本电脑上,它需要大部分时间,而在Raspberry Pi 2上我想支持,它太慢了。下面的时间(以秒为单位);它受CPU限制(用户+系统时间〜=实时):

我可能最终会做一些非规范化数据,但首先我想知道我是否可以让这个简单的查询尽可能地执行。我的基准非常简单;它提前准备好声明然后循环:

void Trial(sqlite3_stmt *stmt) {
  int ret;
  while ((ret = sqlite3_step(stmt)) == SQLITE_ROW) ;
  if (ret != SQLITE_DONE) {
    errx(1, "sqlite3_step: %d (%s)", ret, sqlite3_errstr(ret));
  }
  ret = sqlite3_reset(stmt);
  if (ret != SQLITE_OK) {
    errx(1, "sqlite3_reset: %d (%s)", ret, sqlite3_errstr(ret));
  }
}

我使用gperftools创建了一个CPU配置文件。图像:

这看起来很奇怪,让我希望它可以改进。也许我做的事情愚蠢。我对sqlite3_randomnesssqlite3_strnicmp操作持怀疑态度:

  • docs说sqlite3_randomness用于在某些情况下插入rowid,但我只是在做一个select查询。为什么现在要使用它?从略读sqlite3源代码,我看到它在select sqlite3ColumnsFromExprList中使用,但这似乎是在准备语句时发生的事情。我曾经这样做过,而不是在基准测试的部分。
  • strnicmp用于不区分大小写的字符串比较。但是这个表中的每个字段都是整数。为什么要使用这个功能?比较什么?
  • 一般来说,我不知道为什么sqlite3_reset会很昂贵,或者为什么要从sqlite3_step调用它。

架构:

-- Each row represents a single recorded segment of video.
-- Segments are typically ~60 seconds; never more than 5 minutes.
-- Each row should have a matching recording_detail row.
create table recording (
  id integer primary key,
  camera_id integer references camera (id) not null,

  sample_file_bytes integer not null check (sample_file_bytes > 0),

  -- The starting time of the recording, in 90 kHz units since
  -- 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC.
  start_time_90k integer not null check (start_time_90k >= 0),

  -- The duration of the recording, in 90 kHz units.
  duration_90k integer not null
      check (duration_90k >= 0 and duration_90k < 5*60*90000),

  video_samples integer not null check (video_samples > 0),
  video_sync_samples integer not null check (video_samples > 0),
  video_sample_entry_id integer references video_sample_entry (id)
);

我已经完成了我的测试数据+测试程序;你可以下载它here

修改1:

啊,看看SQLite代码,我看到了一个线索:

int sqlite3_step(sqlite3_stmt *pStmt){
  int rc = SQLITE_OK;      /* Result from sqlite3Step() */
  int rc2 = SQLITE_OK;     /* Result from sqlite3Reprepare() */
  Vdbe *v = (Vdbe*)pStmt;  /* the prepared statement */
  int cnt = 0;             /* Counter to prevent infinite loop of reprepares */
  sqlite3 *db;             /* The database connection */

  if( vdbeSafetyNotNull(v) ){
    return SQLITE_MISUSE_BKPT;
  }
  db = v->db;
  sqlite3_mutex_enter(db->mutex);
  v->doingRerun = 0;
  while( (rc = sqlite3Step(v))==SQLITE_SCHEMA
         && cnt++ < SQLITE_MAX_SCHEMA_RETRY ){
    int savedPc = v->pc;
    rc2 = rc = sqlite3Reprepare(v);
    if( rc!=SQLITE_OK) break;
    sqlite3_reset(pStmt);
    if( savedPc>=0 ) v->doingRerun = 1;
    assert( v->expired==0 );
  }

在架构更改时看起来sqlite3_step调用sqlite3_reset。 (FAQ entry)我不知道为什么自从我的陈述准备好之后就会出现架构变更......

编辑2:

我下载了SQLite 3.10.1&#34; amalgation&#34;并使用调试符号对其进行编译。我现在得到了一个非常不同的个人资料,看起来并不奇怪,但它并不快。也许我之前看到的奇怪结果是由于相同的代码折叠或其他原因。

enter image description here

编辑3:

尝试下面的Ben的聚集索引解决方案,速度提高了约3.6倍。我认为这是我对这个查询做的最好的。我的笔记本电脑上SQLite的CPU性能约为700 MB / s。如果没有重写它以将JIT编译器用于其虚拟机或其他类似的东西,我将不会做得更好。特别是,我认为我在第一张个人资料中看到的离奇的电话实际上并没有发生;由于优化或其他原因,gcc必须具有误导性的调试信息。

即使CPU性能得到改善,吞吐量也超过了我的存储器现在可以进行的冷读取,我认为Pi(SD卡的USB 2.0总线有限)也是如此。

我可能需要保留一些非规范化数据。幸运的是,我认为我可以将它保存在我的应用程序的RAM中,因为它不会太大,启动不必非常快,只有一个进程曾经写过数据库。

答案 0 :(得分:2)

您需要聚簇索引,或者如果您使用的SQLite版本不支持,则需要覆盖索引。

Sqlite 3.8.2及以上

在SQLite 3.8.2及更高版本中使用它:

create table recording (
  camera_id integer references camera (id) not null,

  sample_file_bytes integer not null check (sample_file_bytes > 0),

  -- The starting time of the recording, in 90 kHz units since
  -- 1970-01-01 00:00:00 UTC.
  start_time_90k integer not null check (start_time_90k >= 0),

  -- The duration of the recording, in 90 kHz units.
  duration_90k integer not null
      check (duration_90k >= 0 and duration_90k < 5*60*90000),

  video_samples integer not null check (video_samples > 0),
  video_sync_samples integer not null check (video_samples > 0),
  video_sample_entry_id integer references video_sample_entry (id),

  --- here is the magic
  primary key (camera_id, start_time_90k)
) WITHOUT ROWID;

早期版本

在早期版本的SQLite中,您可以使用这种方法来创建覆盖索引。这应该允许SQLite从索引中提取数据值,从而避免为每一行提取单独的页面:

create index recording_camera_start on recording (
     camera_id, start_time_90k,
     sample_file_bytes, duration_90k, video_samples, video_sync_samples, video_sample_entry_id
 );

<强>讨论

成本很可能是IO(不管你说它不是),因为召回IO需要CPU,因为数据必须复制到总线上或从总线上复制。

如果没有聚簇索引,则会使用rowid插入行,并且可能没有任何合理的顺序。这意味着对于您请求的每个26字节行,系统可能必须从SD卡获取4KB页面 - 这是一个很大的开销。

限制为8个摄像头,id上的简单聚簇索引确保它们以插入的顺序出现在磁盘上,通过确保获取的页面包含接下来的10-20行,可能会使速度提高10倍这将是必需的。

相机和时间上的聚簇索引应确保每个提取的页面包含100行或更多行。
