Using CarbonData for First Query

Tool Overview

The first query of CarbonData is slow, which may cause a delay for nodes that have high requirements on real-time performance.

The tool provides the following functions:

  • Preheat the tables that have high requirements on query delay for the first time.

Tool Usage

Download and install the client. For example, the installation directory is /opt/client. Go to the /opt/client/Spark2x/spark/bin directory and run start-prequery.sh.

Configure prequeryParams.properties by referring to Table 1.

Table 1 Parameters

Parameter

Description

Example

spark.prequery.period.max.minute

Maximum preheating duration, in minutes.

60

spark.prequery.tables

Table name configuration, database.table:int. The table name supports the wildcard (*). int indicates the duration (unit: day) within which the table is updated before it is preheated.

default.test*:10

spark.prequery.maxThreads

Maximum number of concurrent threads during preheating

50

spark.prequery.sslEnable

The value is true in security mode and false in non-security mode.

true

spark.prequery.driver

IP address and port number of JDBCServer. The format is IP address:Port number. If multiple servers need to be preheated, enter multiple IP address:Port number of the servers and separate them with commas (,).

192.168.0.2:22550

spark.prequery.sql

SQL statement for preheating. Different statements are separated by colons (:).

SELECT COUNT(*) FROM %s;SELECT * FROM %s LIMIT 1

spark.security.url

URL required by JDBC in security mode

;saslQop=auth-conf;auth=KERBEROS;principal=spark2x/hadoop.hadoop.com@HADOOP.COM;

The statement configured in spark.prequery.sql is executed in each preheated table. The table name is replaced with %s.

Script Usage

Command format: sh start-prequery.sh

To run this command, place user.keytab or jaas.conf (either of them) and krb5.conf (mandatory) in the conf directory.

  • Currently, this tool supports only Carbon tables.
  • This tool initializes the Carbon environment and pre-reads table metadata to JDBCServer. Therefore, this tool is more suitable for multi-active instances and static allocation mode.
