BigQuery GUI - CPU Resource Limit - google-bigquery

Is there a way to set the CPU Resource Limit on the BigQuery with Python and GUI?
I'm getting an error of:
Query exceeded resource limits. 2147706.163729571 CPU seconds were used, and this query must use less than 46300.0 CPU seconds.
Looking at the BigQuery's Python reference page: http://google-cloud-python.readthedocs.io/en/latest/bigquery/reference.html
It looks like there's:
1. maximum_billing_tier
2. maximum_bytes_billed
That can be set, but there is no CPU second options.

You cannot set anymore maximum_billing_tier - it is obsolete and as soon as you are lower than tier 100 you are billed as if it were 1. if you exceed 100 - query just failes.
As of CPU - check concept of slots
Maximum concurrent slots per project for on-demand pricing — 2,000
The default number of slots for on-demand queries is shared among all queries in a single project. As a rule, if you're processing less than 100 GB of queries at once, you're unlikely to be using all 2,000 slots.
To check how many slots you're using, see Monitoring BigQuery Using Stackdriver. If you need more than 2,000 slots, contact your sales representative to discuss whether flat-rate pricing meets your needs.

[Why is] the disk iops from scylla_setup iotune [...] different from fio test data
Different benchmarks, different results:
Scylla may have been using a much bigger block size (e.g. 64k) per I/O (this is likely the biggest factor). As you make the block size bigger (up to some maximum due to diminishing returns) the bandwidth (i.e. total amount of data you can send in say a second) achieved with that block size goes up but the IOPS you get will typically down (you are sending more data per I/O after all). This is normal!
Scylla could be using buffered I/O (rather than direct I/O)
Scylla may have been benchmarking reads and writes separately
Scylla may have been using a bigger queue depth
Scylla may have been batching its submissions differently
Scylla may be writing a different type of data
And so on...
In general, it's very difficult to take benchmarks done with different tools and compare them directly to each other - you would need to know what they are doing under the hood for any comparison to be meaningful. Trying to look at IOPS or bandwidth in isolation without more context is meaningless as you typically trade one off against the other. It's better to use the same benchmark tool with identical options to compare two different machines changes or to measure the impact of tuning on the same machine.
TLDR; This is likely an apples to oranges comparison where the tools are measuring different contexts.
PS: gtod_reduce is a go faster stripe that very few people actually need. If your hardware isn't capable of doing gigabytes per second and you're not seeing your CPU maxed out it's unlikely reducing gettimeofday calls is going to nudge the result very much.
(This question might be more appropriate for Server Fault (and thus get better replies there) because it's not directly about programming)

Check number of slots used by a query in BigQuery

Is there a way to check how many slots were used by a query over the period of its execution in BigQuery? I checked the execution plan but I could just see the Slot Time in ms but could not see any parameter or any graph to show the number of slots used over the period of execution. I even tried looking at Stackdriver Monitoring but I could not find anything like this. Please let me know if it can be calculated in some way or if I can see it somewhere I might've missed seeing.
A BigQuery job will report the total number of slot-milliseconds from the extended query stats in the job metadata, which is analogous to computational cost. Each stage of the query plan also indicates input stats for the stage, which can be used to indicate the number of units of work each stage dispatched.
More details about the representation can be found in the REST reference for jobs. See query.statistics.totalSlotMs and statistics.query.queryPlan[].parallelInputs for more information.
BigQuery now provides a key in the Jobs API JSON called "timeline". This structure provides "statistics.query.timeline[].completedUnits" which you can obtain either during job execution or after. If you choose to pull this information after a job has executed, "completedUnits" will be the cumulative sum of all the units of work (slots) utilised during the query execution.
The question might have two parts though: (1) Total number of slots utilised (units of work completed) or (2) Maximum parallel number of units used at a point in time by the query.
For (1), the answer is as above, given by "completedUnits".
For (2), you might need to consider the maximum value of queryPlan.parallelInputs across all query stages, which would indicate the maximum "number of parallelizable units of work for the stage" (https://cloud.google.com/bigquery/query-plan-explanation)
If, after this, you additionally want to know if the 2000 parallel slots that you are allocated across your entire on-demand query project is sufficient, you'd need to find the point in time across all queries taking place in your project where the slots being utilised is at a maximum. This is not a trivial task, but Stackdriver monitoring provides the clearest view for you on this.

What is the meaning of totalSlotMs for a BigQuery job?

What is the meaning of the statistics.query.totalSlotMs value returned for a completed BigQuery job? Except for giving an indication of relative cost of one job vs the other, it's not clear how else one should interpret the number. For example, how does the slot-milliseconds number relate to the stack driver reported total slot usage for a given project (which needs to stay below 2000 for on demand BigQuery usage)?
The docs are a bit terse ('[Output-only] Slot-milliseconds for the job.')
The idea is to have a 'slots' metric in the same units at which slots of reservation are sold to customers.
For example, imagine that you have a 20-second query that is continuously consuming 4 slots. In that case, your query is using 80,000 totalSlotMs (4 * 20,000).
This way you can determine the average number of slots even if the peak number of slots differs as, in practice, the number of workers will fluctuate over the runtime of a query.

Cloud DataFlow performance - are our times to be expected?

Looking for some advice on how best to architect/design and build our pipeline.
After some initial testing, we're not getting the results that we were expecting. Maybe we're just doing something stupid, or our expectations are too high.
Our data/workflow:
Google DFP writes our adserver logs (CSV compressed) directly to GCS (hourly).
A day's worth of these logs has in the region of 30-70 million records, and about 1.5-2 billion for the month.
Perform transformation on 2 of the fields, and write the row to BigQuery.
The transformation involves performing 3 REGEX operations (due to increase to 50 operations) on 2 of the fields, which produces new fields/columns.
What we've got running so far:
Built a pipeline that reads the files from GCS for a day (31.3m), and uses a ParDo to perform the transformation (we thought we'd start with just a day, but our requirements are to process months & years too).
DoFn input is a String, and its output is a BigQuery TableRow.
The pipeline is executed in the cloud with instance type "n1-standard-1" (1vCPU), as we think 1 vCPU per worker is adequate given that the transformation is not overly complex, nor CPU intensive i.e. just a mapping of Strings to Strings.
We've run the job using a few different worker configurations to see how it performs:
5 workers (5 vCPUs) took ~17 mins
5 workers (10 vCPUs) took ~16 mins (in this run we bumped up the instance to "n1-standard-2" to get double the cores to see if it improved performance)
50 min and 100 max workers with autoscale set to "BASIC" (50-100 vCPUs) took ~13 mins
100 min and 150 max workers with autoscale set to "BASIC" (100-150 vCPUs) took ~14 mins
Would those times be in line with what you would expect for our use case and pipeline?
You can also write the output to files and then load it into BigQuery using command line/console. You'd probably save some dollars of instance's uptime. This is what I've been doing after running into issues with Dataflow/BigQuery interface. Also from my experience there is some overhead bringing instances up and tearing them down (could be 3-5 minutes). Do you include this time in your measurements as well?
BigQuery has a write limit of 100,000 rows per second per table OR 6M/per minute. At 31M rows of input that would take ~ 5 minutes of just flat out writes. When you add back the discrete processing time per element & then the synchronization time (read from GCS->dispatch->...) of the graph this looks about right.
We are working on a table sharding model so you can write across a set of tables and then use table wildcards within BigQuery to aggregate across the tables (common model for typical BigQuery streaming use case). I know the BigQuery folks are also looking at increased table streaming limits, but nothing official to share.
Net-net increasing instances is not going to get you much more throughput right now.
Another approach - in the mean time while we work on improving the BigQuery sync - would be to shard your reads using pattern matching via TextIO and then run X separate pipelines targeting X number of tables. Might be a fun experiment. :-)
Make sense?

Neo4j Configuration for 4M Nodes 10M relationship

I am new to Neo4j and have made few graph queries with 4M nodes and 10M relationships. Till now i've completely surprised from the performance of my queries.
SCHEMA
.......
(a:user{data:1})-[:follow]->(:user)-[:next*1..10]-(:activity)
Here user with data:1 is following another 100,000 user. Each of those 100,000 users have 2-8 next nodes(lets say activity of users) attached. Now i want to fetch the activities of users till next level 3 [:next*1..3] . Each activity has property relevance number.
So now i have 100,000 *3 nodes to traverse.
CYPHER
.......
match (u:user{data:1})-[:follow]-(:user)-[:next*1..3]-(a:activity)
return a order by a.relevance desc limit 50
This query is taking 72000 ms almost every time. Since i am new to Neo4j and i am sure that i haven't done tuning of the OS.
I am using following parameters-
Initial Java Heap Size (in MB)
wrapper.java.initmemory=2000
Maximum Java Heap Size (in MB)
wrapper.java.maxmemory=2456
Default values for the low-level graph engine
neostore.nodestore.db.mapped_memory=25M
neostore.relationshipstore.db.mapped_memory=50M
neostore.propertystore.db.mapped_memory=90M
neostore.propertystore.db.strings.mapped_memory=130M
neostore.propertystore.db.arrays.mapped_memory=130M
Please tell me where i am doing wrong. I read all the documentation from neo4j website but the query time didn't improve.
please tell me how can i configure high performing cache? What should i do so that all the graph loads up in memory? When i see my RAM usage , it is always like 1.8 GB out of 4 Gb. I am using enterprise license on windows (Neo4j 2.0). Please help.
You are actually following not 100k * 3 but, 100k * (2-10)^10 meaning 10^15 paths.
More memory in your machine would make a lot of sense, so try to get 8 or more GB.
Then you can increase the heap, e.g. to 6GB:
wrapper.java.initmemory=6000
wrapper.java.maxmemory=6000
neo4j.properties
neostore.nodestore.db.mapped_memory=100M
neostore.relationshipstore.db.mapped_memory=500M
neostore.propertystore.db.mapped_memory=200M
neostore.propertystore.db.strings.mapped_memory=200M
neostore.propertystore.db.arrays.mapped_memory=10M
If you want to pull your data through, you would most probably want to inverse your query.
match (a:activity),(u:user{data:1})
with a,u
order by a.relevance
desc limit 100
match (followed:user)-[:next*1..3]-(a:activity)
where (followed)-[:follow]-(user)
return a
order by a.relevance
desc limit 50
