This is a "usability testing" of TimescaleDB. I did not use TimescaleDB before. I will try to install it, load the data and conduct benchmarks. And record every obstacle that I will face.
Usability testing need to be conducted by the most clueless person in the room. Doing this "usability testing" requires a bit of patience and courage (to publish all the struggles as is).
2021-10-30 23:26:39 +00:00
Note: insted of using clear VM, I have to run benchmark on exactly the same baremetal server where all other benchmarks were run.

## Installation
Install as following:
https://docs.timescale.com/timescaledb/latest/how-to-guides/install-timescaledb/self-hosted/ubuntu/installation-apt-ubuntu/#installation-apt-ubuntu
I've noticed that TimescaleDB documentation website does not have favicon in contrast to the main page.
In other means, it is quite neat.

Looks like I have old PostgreSQL.

But there is also newer PostgreSQL.
```

psql is new, so what is wrong?

Let's consult https://stackoverflow.com/questions/31091748/postgres-server-not-listening
It is mentioning some pg_hba.conf. BTW what is HBA*? Let's find this file...

```
\* host based authentication rules - it is explained inside this file.
Nothing wrong in this file...

It's quite cryptic. What does it mean "Failed to send unit change signal"? Is it good or bad?
What is the "unit"? Maybe it is "SystemD Unit" - the phrase that I've heard many times but don't really understand.
Almost gave up... Wow, I found the culprit! In `/etc/postgresql/13/main/postgresql.conf` :
```
port = 5435
```
Most likely this has happened, because multiple versions of PostgreSQL were installed.
Let's change to 5432.
```
sudo mcedit /etc/postgresql/13/main/postgresql.conf
sudo service postgresql restart
```
But now it does not accept password:
```

Works this way:
```

psql (13.4 (Ubuntu 13.4-4.pgdg18.04+1))
Type "help" for help.

I remember PostgreSQL does not support unsigned integers. It also does not support TINYINT.
And it does not support zero bytes in TEXT fields. We will deal with it...
```
tutorial=# SELECT create_hypertable('hits_100m_obfuscated', 'EventTime');
ERROR: column "EventTime" does not exist
```
WTF?
Maybe it because column names are lowercased?
```
tutorial=# SELECT create_hypertable('hits_100m_obfuscated', 'eventtime');
NOTICE: adding not-null constraint to column "eventtime"

-db-name string
Database where the destination table exists
-file string
File to read from rather than stdin
-header-line-count int
Number of header lines (default 1)
-limit int
Number of rows to insert overall; 0 means to insert all

-skip-header
Skip the first line of the input
-split string
Character to split by (default ",")
-table string
Destination table for insertions (default "test_table")

PostgreSQL does not support USE database.
But I remember, that I can write `\c` instead. I guess `\c` means "change" (the database). Or it is called "schema" or "catalog".

And parallel loader already loaded some part of data into my table (it is not transactional).
Let's truncate table:
```
tutorial=# TRUNCATE TABLE hits_100m_obfuscated;
TRUNCATE TABLE
```
Surprisingly, it works!
Now it started loading data:

```
But the loading is not using 16 CPU cores and it is not bottlenecked by IO.
WTF:
```

Let's simply remove all double quotes from String values.

I have hypothesis, maybe it is interpreting both backslashes and quotes in CSV?
We need to check, what is CSV, exactly, from TimescaleDB's standpoint.
https://www.postgresql.org/docs/9.2/sql-copy.html
Yes, PostgreSQL is using "fake CSV":
> This format option is used for importing and exporting the Comma Separated Value (CSV) file format used by many other programs, such as spreadsheets. Instead of the escaping rules used by PostgreSQL's standard text format, it produces and recognizes the common CSV escaping mechanism.
> The values in each record are separated by the DELIMITER character. If the value contains the delimiter character, the QUOTE character, the NULL string, a carriage return, or line feed character, then the whole value is prefixed and suffixed by the QUOTE character, and any occurrence within the value of a QUOTE character or the ESCAPE character is preceded by the escape character.
So, it looks like CSV but is using C-style backslash escapes inside values.
Let's remove both backslash and quote from our strings to make PostgreSQL happy.
```

Maybe let's switch from CSV to TSV that PostgreSQL seems to understand better.

It started to do something... fairly slow with using less than one CPU core.
Folks from TimescaleDB always recommend to enable compression, which is not by default.
Let's read about it:
https://docs.timescale.com/timescaledb/latest/how-to-guides/compression/
> We strongly recommend that you understand how compression works before you start enabling it on your hypertables.
The amount of hackery to overcome PostgreSQL limitations is overwhelming:
> When compression is enabled, TimescaleDB converts data stored in many rows into an array. This means that instead of using lots of rows to store the data, it stores the same data in a single row.
In the meantime, copy finished in "just" 1.5 hours, 19 245 rows/second. This is extremely slow, even for single core.
```
tutorial=# \copy hits_100m_obfuscated FROM 'dump.tsv';
COPY 100000000
Time: 5195909.154 ms (01:26:35.909)
```
## Running Benchmark
Let's prepare for benchmark...
What is needed to execute single query in batch mode?
`man psql`
```
sudo -u postgres psql tutorial -t -c '\timing' -c 'SELECT 1' | grep 'Time'
```
Now we are ready to run our benchmark.
PostgreSQL does not have `SHOW PROCESSLIST` .
It has `select * from pg_stat_activity;` instead.
https://ma.ttias.be/show-full-processlist-equivalent-of-mysql-for-postgresql/
But it does not show query progress.
The first query `SELECT count(*) FROM hits_100m_obfuscated` just hanged. It reads something from disk...
Let's check the data volume:
```
$ sudo du -hcs /opt/postgresql/
68G /opt/postgresql/
```
Looks consistent for uncompressed data.
```
./benchmark.sh
grep -oP 'Time: \d+' log | grep -oP '\d+' | awk '{ if (n % 3 == 0) { printf("[") }; ++n; printf("%g", $1 / 1000); if (n % 3 == 0) { printf("],\n") } else { printf(", ") } }'
```
Now let's enable compression.
```
ALTER TABLE hits_100m_obfuscated SET (timescaledb.compress);
SELECT add_compression_policy('hits_100m_obfuscated', INTERVAL '0 seconds');
```
```

add_compression_policy
------------------------

(1 row)
```
Ok, in `top` I see that it started compression with using single CPU core.
```
300464 postgres 20 0 32.456g 932044 911452 D 48.0 0.7 1:08.11 postgres: 13/main: Compression Policy [1000]
```
Let's also define better order of data:
```
ALTER TABLE hits_100m_obfuscated
SET (timescaledb.compress,
timescaledb.compress_orderby = 'counterid, userid, event_time');
```
The query hanged. Maybe it's waiting for finish of previous compression?
2021-10-30 20:35:20 +00:00
After several minutes it answered:
```
ERROR: cannot change configuration on already compressed chunks
DETAIL: There are compressed chunks that prevent changing the existing compression configuration.
```
Ok, at least some of the chunks will have the proper order.
2021-10-30 23:26:39 +00:00
After a few hours looks like the compression finished.
```
sudo ncdu /var/lib/postgresql/13/main/
28.9 GiB [##########] /base
```
Yes, looks like it's compressed. About two times - not too much.
Let's rerun the benchmark.
Ok, it's slightly faster.
