Long running queries presumably from layered navigation

Open ioweb-gr opened this issue 10 months ago • 13 comments

Preconditions (*)

  1. Openmage 20.5.0
  2. PHP 8.1
  3. MariaDB 10.617
  4. Ubuntu 20.04

Steps to reproduce (*)

There are no specific steps to reproduce this , we just see it in the slow query logs

We keep observing some long running queries of this format

Which pretty much never stop executing until they timeout

They appear to be related to counting terms for layered navigation.

The related tables range from 200 rows to 2000 rows so they're not extremely big and the execution shouldn't be that slow for any reason.

We have disabled showing the count in layered navigation

Here's another sample query with very long execution time and explain

There also doesn't seem to be any form of lock causing this delay

Expected result (*)

  1. Queries run fast

Actual result (*)

  1. Queries timeout due to very long execution

Is the version you use in testing OpenMage v20.5.0 + Magento Sample Data?

addison74 avatar Apr 05 '24 11:04 addison74

I'm seeing this on a production site using OpenMage v20.5.0 so it's not using Magento Sample Data.

I've made sure it occurs with all 3rd party extensions removed as well.

It seems to come directly from core.

The more joins are added to the same table, the more the time of execution increases.

ioweb-gr avatar Apr 05 '24 12:04 ioweb-gr

would it be possible for you to remove some of those attributes from "available in product listing"?

fballiano avatar Apr 05 '24 15:04 fballiano

Actually most of them are already set to No

ioweb-gr avatar Apr 05 '24 16:04 ioweb-gr

there are 9 visible in the query

fballiano avatar Apr 05 '24 16:04 fballiano

I checked them all and only 3 were used in product listing. I changed them to No as well

ioweb-gr avatar Apr 05 '24 17:04 ioweb-gr

Even after changing all to No I still get this query

I'm thinking that the culprit may be here as it's one of the few areas I can see that match the query about count(attribute_code_idx)

Check how I replicated it.

I went in a category page with 16 filters in the sidebar's layered navigation (smartphones as products which have a lot of filters)

I progressively started clicking on filters

At around 12 of them even if it was showing only one product. I reached a query like this

This query stopped working entirely giving timeout after 1 hour.

Unfortunately on the demo I can only apply 7-8 filters

They're not enough to test this on default

However check this URL:

After disabling cache open up this url which will load slightly fast.

https://demo.openmage.org/sale/women.html?apparel_type=33&color=18&length=84&occasion=31&price=220-&size=81&sleeve_length=45

It has 7 filters selected

Try to select the last filter

For me it took a couple of seconds more than the previous request.

Progressively adding more should showcase the issue

ah ok so those attributes are still filterable, I don't know if there's anything possible here, the query is very complex

fballiano avatar Apr 06 '24 07:04 fballiano

True it's very complex but I think the problem is still that count query. Since I configured the backend not to show the count, shouldn't this count query be totally eliminated?

It also is a significant issue because it makes filters unusable after a point and also with crawlers in the mix it can bring a whole db server down because they will drill down through all the filters

I posted this on https://dba.stackexchange.com/questions/338347/why-is-this-query-running-so-slowly/338372#338372

Where Dan Black was kind enough to take a look at this. His last suggestion was to set the

optimizer_search_depth = 1

From the default value of 62 as suggested in this KB reference https://mariadb.com/kb/en/entity-attribute-value-implementation/ for EAV implementations.

As it turns out this can also be set for the session only and it made the query run instantly.

I was wondering if we can put this in the mix here because for pretty much all collection related queries that use many joins along so many tables it will give a performance boost.

I'm still exploring this over dba.stackexchange.com if you would like to add some input there as well for this.

I am thinking that basically this is only affecting OpenMage because it's using EAV system which is considered an anti-pattern. Therefore it wouldn't make sense in hosting environments to change this globally, and it may not be good for other types of queries so would it be possible to set it in the OpenMage DB adapter class?

@fballiano I found the way to mitigate this for now.

On local.xml there's a section called

  <initStatements><![CDATA[SET NAMES utf8]]></initStatements>

I modified it like this for the site experiencing the issue

   <initStatements><![CDATA[SET NAMES utf8;SET SESSION optimizer_search_depth = 1;]]></initStatements>

The problem is successfully mitigated for my case.

The underlying issue is still there though about the multiple joins and we need to find a permanent way to do this for the queries that actually suffer from this and not for the whole connection in my opinion.

For now though this helps
