FE Configuration

This document mainly introduces the relevant configuration items of FE.

The FE configuration file fe.conf is usually stored in the conf/ directory of the FE deployment path. In version 0.14, another configuration file fe_custom.conf will be introduced. The configuration file is used to record the configuration items that are dynamically configured and persisted by the user during operation.

After the FE process is started, it will read the configuration items in fe.conf first, and then read the configuration items in fe_custom.conf. The configuration items in fe_custom.conf will overwrite the same configuration items in fe.conf.

The location of the fe_custom.conf file can be configured in fe.conf through the custom_config_dir configuration item.

View configuration items

There are two ways to view the configuration items of FE:

  1. FE web page

    Open the FE web page http://fe_host:fe_http_port/variable in the browser. You can see the currently effective FE configuration items in Configure Info.

  2. View by command

    After the FE is started, you can view the configuration items of the FE in the MySQL client with the following command,Concrete language law reference ADMIN-SHOW-CONFIG:

    ADMIN SHOW FRONTEND CONFIG;

    The meanings of the columns in the results are as follows:

    • Key: the name of the configuration item.
    • Value: The value of the current configuration item.
    • Type: The configuration item value type, such as integer or string.
    • IsMutable: whether it can be dynamically configured. If true, the configuration item can be dynamically configured at runtime. If false, it means that the configuration item can only be configured in fe.conf and takes effect after restarting FE.
    • MasterOnly: Whether it is a unique configuration item of Master FE node. If it is true, it means that the configuration item is meaningful only at the Master FE node, and is meaningless to other types of FE nodes. If false, it means that the configuration item is meaningful in all types of FE nodes.
    • Comment: The description of the configuration item.

Set configuration items

There are two ways to configure FE configuration items:

  1. Static configuration

    Add and set configuration items in the conf/fe.conf file. The configuration items in fe.conf will be read when the FE process starts. Configuration items not in fe.conf will use default values.

  2. Dynamic configuration via MySQL protocol

    After the FE starts, you can set the configuration items dynamically through the following commands. This command requires administrator privilege.

    ADMIN SET FRONTEND CONFIG (" fe_config_name "=" fe_config_value ");

    Not all configuration items support dynamic configuration. You can check whether the dynamic configuration is supported by the IsMutable column in theADMIN SHOW FRONTEND CONFIG;command result.

    If the configuration item of MasterOnly is modified, the command will be directly forwarded to the Master FE and only the corresponding configuration item in the Master FE will be modified.

    Configuration items modified in this way will become invalid after the FE process restarts.

    For more help on this command, you can view it through the HELP ADMIN SET CONFIG; command.

  3. Dynamic configuration via HTTP protocol

    For details, please refer to Set Config Action

    This method can also persist the modified configuration items. The configuration items will be persisted in the fe_custom.conf file and will still take effect after FE is restarted.

Examples

  1. Modify async_pending_load_task_pool_size

    Through ADMIN SHOW FRONTEND CONFIG; you can see that this configuration item cannot be dynamically configured (IsMutable is false). You need to add in fe.conf:

    async_pending_load_task_pool_size = 20

    Then restart the FE process to take effect the configuration.

  2. Modify dynamic_partition_enable

    Through ADMIN SHOW FRONTEND CONFIG; you can see that the configuration item can be dynamically configured (IsMutable is true). And it is the unique configuration of Master FE. Then first we can connect to any FE and execute the following command to modify the configuration:

    1. ADMIN SET FRONTEND CONFIG ("dynamic_partition_enable" = "true"); `

    Afterwards, you can view the modified value with the following command:

    1. set forward_to_master = true;
    2. ADMIN SHOW FRONTEND CONFIG;

    After modification in the above manner, if the Master FE restarts or a Master election is performed, the configuration will be invalid. You can add the configuration item directly in fe.conf and restart the FE to make the configuration item permanent.

  3. Modify max_distribution_pruner_recursion_depth

    Through ADMIN SHOW FRONTEND CONFIG; you can see that the configuration item can be dynamically configured (IsMutable is true). It is not unique to Master FE.

    Similarly, we can modify the configuration by dynamically modifying the configuration command. Because this configuration is not unique to the Master FE, user need to connect to different FEs separately to modify the configuration dynamically, so that all FEs use the modified configuration values.

FE Thrift Server port

thrift_server_type

This configuration represents the service model used by The Thrift Service of FE, is of type String and is case-insensitive.

If this parameter is ‘SIMPLE’, then the ‘TSimpleServer’ model is used, which is generally not suitable for production and is limited to test use.

If the parameter is ‘THREADED’, then the ‘TThreadedSelectorServer’ model is used, which is a non-blocking I/O model, namely the master-slave Reactor model, which can timely respond to a large number of concurrent connection requests and performs well in most scenarios.

If this parameter is THREAD_POOL, then the TThreadPoolServer model is used, the model for blocking I/O model, use the thread pool to handle user connections, the number of simultaneous connections are limited by the number of thread pool, if we can estimate the number of concurrent requests in advance, and tolerant enough thread resources cost, this model will have a better performance, the service model is used by default

drop_backend_after_decommission

Default：false

IsMutable：true

MasterOnly：true

  1. This configuration is used to control whether the system drops the BE after successfully decommissioning the BE. If true, the BE node will be deleted after the BE is successfully offline. If false, after the BE successfully goes offline, the BE will remain in the DECOMMISSION state, but will not be dropped.

    This configuration can play a role in certain scenarios. Assume that the initial state of a Doris cluster is one disk per BE node. After running for a period of time, the system has been vertically expanded, that is, each BE node adds 2 new disks. Because Doris currently does not support data balancing among the disks within the BE, the data volume of the initial disk may always be much higher than the data volume of the newly added disk. At this time, we can perform manual inter-disk balancing by the following operations:

    1. Set the configuration item to false.
    2. Perform a decommission operation on a certain BE node. This operation will migrate all data on the BE to other nodes.
    3. After the decommission operation is completed, the BE will not be dropped. At this time, cancel the decommission status of the BE. Then the data will start to balance from other BE nodes back to this node. At this time, the data will be evenly distributed to all disks of the BE.
    4. Perform steps 2 and 3 for all BE nodes in sequence, and finally achieve the purpose of disk balancing for all nodes

max_backend_down_time_second

Default：3600 （1 hour）

IsMutable：true

MasterOnly：true

If a backend is down for max_backend_down_time_second, a BACKEND_DOWN event will be triggered.

disable_backend_black_list

Used to disable the BE blacklist function. After this function is disabled, if the query request to the BE fails, the BE will not be added to the blacklist. This parameter is suitable for regression testing environments to reduce occasional bugs that cause a large number of regression tests to fail.

Default: false

Is it possible to configure dynamically: true

Is it a configuration item unique to the Master FE node: false

max_backend_heartbeat_failure_tolerance_count

The maximum tolerable number of BE node heartbeat failures. If the number of consecutive heartbeat failures exceeds this value, the BE state will be set to dead. This parameter is suitable for regression test environments to reduce occasional heartbeat failures that cause a large number of regression test failures.

Default: 1

Is it possible to configure dynamically: true

Whether it is a configuration item unique to the Master FE node: true

enable_access_file_without_broker

This configuration will decide whether to resend agent task when create_time for agent_task is set, only when current_time - create_time > agent_task_resend_wait_time_ms can ReportHandler do resend agent task.

This configuration is currently mainly used to solve the problem of repeated sending of PUBLISH_VERSION agent tasks. The current default value of this configuration is 5000, which is an experimental value.

Because there is a certain time delay between submitting agent tasks to AgentTaskQueue and submitting to be, Increasing the value of this configuration can effectively solve the problem of repeated sending of agent tasks,

But at the same time, it will cause the submission of failed or failed execution of the agent task to be executed again for an extended period of time

max_agent_task_threads_num

Default：4096

MasterOnly：true

max num of thread to handle agent task in agent task thread-pool.

remote_fragment_exec_timeout_ms

Default：30000 （ms）

IsMutable：true

auth_token

Default：empty

Cluster token used for internal authentication.

enable_http_server_v2

Default：The default is true after the official 0.14.0 version is released, and the default is false before

HTTP Server V2 is implemented by SpringBoot. It uses an architecture that separates the front and back ends. Only when httpv2 is enabled can users use the new front-end UI interface.

http_api_extra_base_path

In some deployment environments, user need to specify an additional base path as the unified prefix of the HTTP API. This parameter is used by the user to specify additional prefixes. After setting, user can get the parameter value through the GET /api/basepath interface. And the new UI will also try to get this base path first to assemble the URL. Only valid when enable_http_server_v2 is true.

The default is empty, that is, not set

jetty_server_acceptors

Default：2

jetty_server_selectors

Default：4

jetty_server_workers

Default：0

With the above three parameters, Jetty’s thread architecture model is very simple, divided into acceptors, selectors and workers three thread pools. Acceptors are responsible for accepting new connections, and then hand them over to selectors to process the unpacking of the HTTP message protocol, and finally workers process the request. The first two thread pools adopt a non-blocking model, and one thread can handle the read and write of many sockets, so the number of thread pools is small.

For most projects, only 1-2 acceptors threads are required, and 2 to 4 selectors threads are sufficient. Workers are obstructive business logic, often have more database operations, and require a large number of threads. The specific number depends on the proportion of QPS and IO events of the application. The higher the QPS, the more threads are required, the higher the proportion of IO, the more threads waiting, and the more total threads required.

Worker thread pool is not set by default, set according to your needs

jetty_server_max_http_post_size

Default：100 * 1024 * 1024 （100MB）

This is the maximum number of bytes of the file uploaded by the put or post method, the default value: 100MB

If set to true, Planner will try to select replica of tablet on same host as this Frontend. This may reduce network transmission in following case:

  • N hosts with N Backends and N Frontends deployed.

  • The data has N replicas.

  • High concurrency queries are syyuyuient to all Frontends evenly

In this case, all Frontends can only use local replicas to do the query. If you want to allow fallback to nonlocal replicas when no local replicas available, set enable_local_replica_selection_fallback to true.

expr_children_limit

Default：10000

IsMutable：true

Limit on the number of expr children of an expr tree. Exceed this limit may cause long analysis time while holding database read lock.

be_exec_version

Used to define the serialization format for passing blocks between fragments.

Sometimes some of our code changes will change the data format of the block. In order to make the BE compatible with each other during the rolling upgrade process, we need to issue a data version from the FE to decide what format to send the data in.

Specifically, for example, there are 2 BEs in the cluster, one of which can support the latest $v_1$ after being upgraded, while the other only supports $v_0$. At this time, since the FE has not been upgraded yet, $v_0 is issued uniformly. $, BE interact in the old data format. After all BEs are upgraded, we will upgrade FE. At this time, the new FE will issue $v_1$, and the cluster will be uniformly switched to the new data format.

The default value is max_be_exec_version. If there are special needs, we can manually set the format version to lower, but it should not be lower than min_be_exec_version.

Note that we should always keep the value of this variable between BeExecVersionManager::min_be_exec_version and BeExecVersionManager::max_be_exec_version for all BEs. (That is to say, if a cluster that has completed the update needs to be downgraded, it should ensure the order of downgrading FE and then downgrading BE, or manually lower the variable in the settings and downgrade BE)

max_be_exec_version
