Used Memory is greater than max memory in redis - redis

I have set maxmemory of 4 G to redis server and eviction policy is set to volatile-lru. Currently it is using about 4.41G of memory. I don't know how this is possible. As the eviction policy is set so it should start evicting keys as soon as memory hits to max-memory.
I am running redis in cluster mode having the configuration of 3 master and replication factor of 1. This is happening on only one of slave redis.
The output of
redis-cli info memory
is :-

It is important to understand that the eviction process works like this:
A client runs a new command, resulting in more data added.
Redis checks the memory usage, and if it is greater than the
maxmemory limit , it evicts keys according to the policy.
A new command is executed, and so forth.
So we continuously cross the boundaries of the memory limit, by going over it, and then by evicting keys to return back under the limits.
If a command results in a lot of memory being used (like a big set intersection stored into a new key) for some time the memory limit can be surpassed by a noticeable amount.

It is possible for only the Redis master instances to handle all reads and writes, and for the slaves to be used only for failover?

My work system consists of Spring web applications and it uses Redis as a transaction counter and it conditionally blocks transaction requests.
The transaction is as follows:
Check whether or not data exists. (HGET)
If it doesn't, saves new one with count 0 and set expiration time. (HSET, EXPIRE)
Increases a count value. (INCRBY)
If the increased count value reaches a specific configured limit, it sets the transaction to 'blocked' (HSET)
The limit value is my company's business policy.
Such read and write operations are requested one after another, immediately.
Currently, I use one Redis instance at one machine. (only master, no replications.)
I want to get Redis HA, so I need slave insntaces but at the same time, I want to have all reads and writes to Redis only to master insntaces because of slave data relication latency.
After some research, I found that it is a good idea to have a proxy server to use Redis HA. However, with proxy, it seems impossible to use only the master instances to receive requests and the slaves only for failover.
Is it possible??
Thanks in advance.
What you need is Redis Sentinel.
With Redis Sentinel, you can get the master address from sentinel, and read/write with master. If master is down, Redis Sentinel will do failover, and elect a new master. Then you can get the address of the new master from sentinel.
As you're going to use Lettuce for Redis cluster driver, you should set read preference to Master and things should be working fine a sample code might look like this.
LettuceClientConfiguration lettuceClientConfiguration =
LettuceClientConfiguration.builder().readFrom(ReadFrom.MASTER).build();
RedisClusterConfiguration redisClusterConfiguration = new RedisClusterConfiguration();
List<RedisNode> redisNodes = new ArrayList<>();
redisNodes.add(new RedisNode("127.0.0.1", 9000));
redisNodes.add(new RedisNode("127.0.0.1", 9001));
redisNodes.add(new RedisNode("127.0.0.1", 9002));
redisNodes.add(new RedisNode("127.0.0.1", 9003));
redisNodes.add(new RedisNode("127.0.0.1", 9004));
redisNodes.add(new RedisNode("127.0.0.1", 9005));
redisClusterConfiguration.setClusterNodes(redisNodes);
LettuceConnectionFactory lettuceConnectionFactory =
new LettuceConnectionFactory(redisClusterConfiguration, lettuceClientConfiguration);
lettuceConnectionFactory.afterPropertiesSet();

Is there a chance that you have tried to execute SELECT * without WHERE clause or similar request with huge result set? Result set will be retained on heap which will lead to OOM when serving such request.
Either use LIMIT clause in your SQL query, or use lazy=true in your
Connection/SqlFieldsQuery.

How to scale down a CrateDB cluster?

For testing, I wanted to shrink my 3 node cluster to 2 nodes, to later go and do the same thing for my 5 node cluster.
However, after following the best practice of shrinking a cluster:
Back up all tables
For all tables: alter table xyz set (number_of_replicas=2) if it was less than 2 before
SET GLOBAL PERSISTENT discovery.zen.minimum_master_nodes = <half of the cluster + 1>;
3 a. If the data check should always be green, set the min_availability to 'full':
https://crate.io/docs/reference/configuration.html#graceful-stop
Initiate graceful stop on one node
Wait for the data check to turn green
Repeat from 3.
When done, persist the node configurations in crate.yml:
gateway.recover_after_nodes: n
discovery.zen.minimum_master_nodes:[![enter image description here][1]][1] (n/2) +1
gateway.expected_nodes: n
My cluster never went back to "green" again, and I also have a critical node check failing.
What went wrong here?
crate.yml:
...
################################## Discovery ##################################
# Discovery infrastructure ensures nodes can be found within a cluster
# and master node is elected. Multicast discovery is the default.
# Set to ensure a node sees M other master eligible nodes to be considered
# operational within the cluster. Its recommended to set it to a higher value
# than 1 when running more than 2 nodes in the cluster.
#
# We highly recommend to set the minimum master nodes as follows:
# minimum_master_nodes: (N / 2) + 1 where N is the cluster size
# That will ensure a full recovery of the cluster state.
#
discovery.zen.minimum_master_nodes: 2
# Set the time to wait for ping responses from other nodes when discovering.
# Set this option to a higher value on a slow or congested network
# to minimize discovery failures:
#
# discovery.zen.ping.timeout: 3s
#
# Time a node is waiting for responses from other nodes to a published
# cluster state.
#
# discovery.zen.publish_timeout: 30s
# Unicast discovery allows to explicitly control which nodes will be used
# to discover the cluster. It can be used when multicast is not present,
# or to restrict the cluster communication-wise.
# For example, Amazon Web Services doesn't support multicast discovery.
# Therefore, you need to specify the instances you want to connect to a
# cluster as described in the following steps:
#
# 1. Disable multicast discovery (enabled by default):
#
discovery.zen.ping.multicast.enabled: false
#
# 2. Configure an initial list of master nodes in the cluster
# to perform discovery when new nodes (master or data) are started:
#
# If you want to debug the discovery process, you can set a logger in
# 'config/logging.yml' to help you doing so.
#
################################### Gateway ###################################
# The gateway persists cluster meta data on disk every time the meta data
# changes. This data is stored persistently across full cluster restarts
# and recovered after nodes are started again.
# Defines the number of nodes that need to be started before any cluster
# state recovery will start.
#
gateway.recover_after_nodes: 3
# Defines the time to wait before starting the recovery once the number
# of nodes defined in gateway.recover_after_nodes are started.
#
#gateway.recover_after_time: 5m
# Defines how many nodes should be waited for until the cluster state is
# recovered immediately. The value should be equal to the number of nodes
# in the cluster.
#
gateway.expected_nodes: 3
So there are two things that are important:
The number of replicas is essentially the number of nodes you can loose in a typical setup (2 is recommended so that you can scale down AND loose a node in the process and still be ok)
The procedure is recommended for clusters > 2 nodes ;)
CrateDB will automatically distribute the shards across the cluster in a way that no replica and primary share a node. If that is not possible (which is the case if you have 2 nodes and 1 primary with 2 replicas, the data check will never return to 'green'. So in your case, set the number of replicas to 1 in order to get the cluster back to green (alter table mytable set (number_of_replicas = 1)).
The critical node check is due to the cluster not having received an updated crate.yml yet: Your file also still has the configuration of a 3-node cluster in it, hence the message. Since CrateDB only loads the expected_nodes at startup (it's not a runtime setting), a restart of the whole cluster is required to conclude scaling down. It can be done with a rolling restart, but be sure to set SET GLOBAL PERSISTENT discovery.zen.minimum_master_nodes = <half of the cluster + 1>; properly, otherwise the consensus will not work...
Also, it's recommended to scale down one-by-one in order to avoid overloading the cluster with rebalancing and accidentally loosing data.

Wrong balance between Aerospike instances in cluster

I have an application with a high load for batch read operations. My Aerospike cluster (v 3.7.2) has 14 servers, each one with 7GB RAM and 2 CPUs in Google Cloud.
By looking at Google Cloud Monitoring Graphs, I noticed a very unbalanced load between servers: some servers have almost 100% CPU load, while others have less than 50% (image below). Even after hours of operation, the cluster unbalanced pattern doesn't change.
Is there any configuration that I could change to make this cluster more homogeneous? How to optimize node balancing?

All servers in the cluster have the same identical aerospike.conf file:

I have a few comments about your configuration. First, transaction-threads-per-queue should be set to 3 or 4 (don't set it to the number of cores).
The second has to do with your batch-read tuning. You're using the (default) batch-index protocol, and the config params you'll need to tune for batch-read performance are:
You have batch-max-requests set very high. This is probably affecting both your CPU load and your memory consumption. It's enough that there's a slight imbalance in the number of keys you're accessing per-node, and that will reflect in the graphs you've shown. At least, this is possibly the issue. It's better that you iterate over smaller batches than try to fetch 200K records per-node at a time.
batch-index-threads – by default its value is 4, and you set it to 32 (of a max of 64). You should do this incrementally by running the same test and benchmarking the performance. On each iteration adjust higher, then down if it's decreased in performance. For example: test with 32, +8 = 40 , +8 = 48, -4 = 44. There's no easy rule-of-thumb for the setting, you'll need to tune through iterations on the hardware you'll be using, and monitor the performance.
batch-max-buffer-per-queue – this is more directly linked to the number of concurrent batch-read operations the node can support. Each batch-read request will consume at least one buffer (more if the data cannot fit in 128K). If you do not have enough of these allocated to support the number of concurrent batch-read requests you will get exceptions with error code 152 BATCH_QUEUES_FULL . Track and log such events clearly, because it means you need to raise this value. Note that this is the number of buffers per-queue. Each batch response worker thread has its own queue, so you'll have batch-index-threads x batch-max-buffer-per-queue buffers, each taking 128K of RAM. The batch-max-unused-buffers caps the memory usage of all these buffers combined, destroying unused buffers until their number is reduced. There's an overhead to allocating and destroying these buffers, so you do not want to set it too low compared to the total. Your current cost is 32 x 256 x 128KB = 1GB.
Finally, you're storing your data on a filesystem. That's fine for development instances, but not recommended for production. In GCE you can provision either a SATA SSD or an NVMe SSD for your data storage, and those should be initialized, and used as block devices. Take a look at the GCE recommendations for more details. I suspect you have warnings in your log about the device not keeping up.
It's likely that one of your nodes is an outlier with regards to the number of partitions it has (and therefore number of objects). You can confirm it with asadm -e 'asinfo -v "objects"'. If that's the case, you can terminate that node, and bring up a new one. This will force the partitions to be redistributed. This does trigger a migration, which takes quite longer in the CE server than in the EE one.
For anyone interested, Aerospike Enterpirse 4.3 introduced 'uniform-balance' which homogeneously balances data partitions. Read more here: https://www.aerospike.com/blog/aerospike-4-3-all-flash-uniform-balance/

Aerospike cluster not clean available blocks

we use aerospike in our projects and caught strange problem.
We have a 3 node cluster and after some node restarting it stop working.
So, we make test to explain our problem
We make test cluster. 3 node, replication count = 2
Here is our namespace config
namespace test{
replication-factor 2
memory-size 100M
high-water-memory-pct 90
high-water-disk-pct 90
stop-writes-pct 95
single-bin true
default-ttl 0
storage-engine device {
cold-start-empty true
file /tmp/test.dat
write-block-size 1M
}
We write 100Mb test data after that we have that situation
available pct equal about 66% and Disk Usage about 34%
All good :slight_smile:
But we stopped one node. After migration we see that available pct = 49% and disk usage 50%
Return node to cluster and after migration we see that disk usage became previous about 32%, but available pct on old nodes stay 49%
Stop node one more time
available pct = 31%
Repeat one more time we get that situation
available pct = 0%
Our cluster crashed, Clients get AerospikeException: Error Code 8: Server memory error
So how we can clean available pct?
If your defrag-q is empty (and you can see whether it is from grepping the logs) then the issue is likely to be that your namespace is smaller than your post-write-queue. Blocks on the post-write-queue are not eligible for defragmentation and so you would see avail-pct trending down with no defragmentation to reclaim the space. By default the post-write-queue is 256 blocks and so in your case that would equate to 256Mb. If your namespace is smaller than that you will see avail-pct continue to drop until you hit stop-writes. You can reduce the size of the post-write-queue dynamically (i.e. no restart needed) using the following command, here I suggest 8 blocks:
asinfo -v 'set-config:context=namespace;id=<NAMESPACE>;post-write-queue=8'
If you are happy with this value you should amend your aerospike.conf to include it so that it persists after a node restart.
