即使增加了work_mem的大小,性能也不会提高

标签: postgresql query-performance

我返回一个查询,该查询平均需要170秒才能执行。我浏览了PSQL文档,他们提到如果我们增加work_mem,性能将会提高。我将work_mem增加到1000 MB,即使性能没有改善。

注意:我为查询的所有字段建立了索引。

下面,我粘贴数据库中存在的记录,查询执行计划,查询,结果。

  • 数据库中存在的记录数:
event_logs=> select count(*) from events;
  count   
----------
 18706734
(1 row)
  • 查询:
select raw->'request_payload'->'source'->0 as file, 
       count(raw->'request_payload'->>'status') as count, 
       raw->'request_payload'->>'status' as status 
from events 
where client = 'NTT' 
  and to_char(datetime, 'YYYY-MM-DD') = '2019-10-31' 
  and event_name = 'wbs_indexing' 
group by raw->'request_payload'->'source'->0, 
         raw->'request_payload'->>'status';
  • 结果:
 file                   | count  | status  
-----------------------------+--------+--
 "xyz.csv"              |  91878 | failure
 "abc.csv"              |  91816 | failure
 "efg.csv"              | 398196 | failure
(3 rows)

  • 默认的work_mem(4 MB)查询执行计划:
event_logs=> SHOW work_mem;
 work_mem 
----------
 4MB
(1 row)

event_logs=> explain analyze select raw->'request_payload'->'source'->0 as file, count(raw->'request_payload'->>'status') as count,  raw->'request_payload'->>'status' as status from events where to_char(datetime, 'YYYY-MM-DD') = '2019-10-31' and client = 'NTT'  and event_name = 'wbs_indexing' group by raw->'request_payload'->'source'->0, raw->'request_payload'->>'status';
                                                                             QUERY PLAN

  • 有人可以帮助我改善此查询的性能吗?

2 个答案:

答案 0 :(得分:2)

增加work_mem的确使排序速度提高了大约8倍:(172639.670 - 169311.063) / (167975.549 - 167570.669)。但是,由于排序仅占整体执行时间的一小部分,因此使其速度提高甚至1000倍也无法使整体效果更好。 seq扫描占用了时间。

seq扫描中的大部分时间可能花费在IO上。您可以在打开track_io_timing后运行EXPLAIN (ANALYZE, BUFFERS)进行查看。

此外,并行化seq扫描通常不是很有用,因为由于预读的魔力,IO系统通常能够将其全部容量交付给单个读取器。有时并行阅读器甚至可以互相踩脚,使整体性能变差。您可以使用set max_parallel_workers_per_gather TO 0;禁用并行化,这可能会使事情变得更快,否则,至少会使EXPLAIN计划更容易理解。

您要获取超过3%的表格:193963 / (193963 + 6041677)。当您获取大量索引时,索引可能不是很有用。如果要做到这一点,则需要组合索引,而不是单个索引。因此,您需要在(client, event_name, date(datetime))上建立索引。然后,您还需要将查询更改为使用date(datetime)而不是to_char(datetime, 'YYYY-MM-DD')。您需要进行此更改,因为to_char不是不可变的,因此无法编制索引。

答案 1 :(得分:0)

通过修改查询解决了该问题。这是 to_char 方法的问题。它会将日期对象转换为表中每条记录上的字符串日期,以与给定的字符串日期匹配。因此,我更新了查询,就像提取给定日期和第二天日期之间的记录一样。现在可以在500毫秒内得到响应。
