"tez.shuffle-vertex-manager.desired-task-input-size" - Determines the amount of desired task input size per reduce task. Default is around 100 MB.
"tez.shuffle-vertex-manager.min-task-parallelism" - Min task parallelism that ShuffleVertexManager should honor. I.e, if the client has set it as 100, ShuffleVertexManager would not try auto-reduce less than 100 tasks. "tez.shuffle-vertex-manager.min-src-fraction", "tez.shuffle-vertex-manager.max-src-fraction" determine the slow-start behavior. Hive mainly sets "tez.shuffle-vertex-manager.desired-task-input-size" and "tez.shuffle-vertex-manager.min-task-parallelism" at the time of creating the DAG. Min-task-parallelism is determined internally in Hive by couple of other parameters like "hive.tez.max.partition.factor / hive.tez.min.partition.factor" along with data size per reduce task. For instance, assume initial reduce task number is 100 & hive.tez.max.partition.factor=2.0 and hive.tez.min.partition.factor=0.25. In this case, Hive would set the reducers to 200 and the hint to tez for its min-task-parallelism would be 25, so that Tez would not try to auto-reduce below 25 tasks. This serves as a safety net. In Tez, When a source task generates output, DataMovementEvent (via RPC) is sent out and its payload carry details like outputsize. ShuffleVertexManager keeps aggregating these values from different source tasks and checks periodically on whether it can determine compute the value for auto-reduce parallelism. If the aggregated data size is less than configured "desired-task-input-size", it waits for output stats from more source tasks. It is possible that by this time, the min-src-fraction reaches it limits. But min-src-fraction config is dynamically overriden as it is better to wait for data from more tasks to determine more accurate value for auto-parallelism. There can be scenarios where the auto-reduce computed value is greater than the currently configured parallelism depending on the amount of data emitted by source tasks. In such cases, existing parallelism is used. Following method contains details on how parallelism is determined at runtime. https://github.com/apache/tez/blob/fd75e640396da8d5e1c67ef554d5db1846e08c69/tez-runtime-library/src/main/java/org/apache/tez/dag/library/vertexmanager/ShuffleVertexManager.java#L669 It is also possible for source to send the per-partition stats along with the DataMovementEvent payload. Retaining all details in the same payload can be fairly expensive. Currently, per-partition details are bucketted into one of the data range (0, 1, 10, 100, 1000 MB) and are stored in RoaringBitMap in the payload. This can be a little noisy, but atleast provides better hints to ShuffleVertexManager. Based on this info, ShuffleVertexManager can schedule the reducer task which would get the maximum amount of data. This can be enabled via "tez.runtime.report.partition.stats" (not enabled by default) ~Rajesh.B On Sat, Feb 27, 2016 at 11:45 AM, LLBian <linanmengxia...@126.com> wrote: > Oh,I saw some useful mesage about statistics on data from TEZ_1167. > now, my main confusions are: > (1) how does the reduce ShuffleVertexManger know how many sample data is > enough to estimate the whole vertex parallelism. > (2) the relationship between edge and event > > I am eager to get your instruction. > Any reply would be very very grateful. > > At 2016-02-27 11:13:48, "LLBian" <linanmengxia...@126.com> wrote: > > > > > >Hello, Respected experts: > > > > >Recently, I am studying tez reduce auto-parallelism, I read the article > >"Apache Tez: Dynamic Graph Reconfiguration",TEZ-398 and HIVE-7158. > > >I found the HIVE-7158 said that "Tez can optionally sample data from a > >fraction of the tasks of a vertex and use that information to choose the > >number of downstream tasks for any given scatter gather edge". > >I know how to use this optimization function，but I was so confused by > this: > > > >" Tez defines a VertexManager event that can be used to send an arbitrary > user payload to the vertex manager of a given vertex.
