optimize openmetrics text parsing (~4x perf) by ahmed-mez · Pull Request #402 · prometheus/client_python

ahmed-mez · 2019-05-06T09:36:50Z

This PR optimizes the openmetrics parser using the logic introduced in #282 to optimize the prometheus parser.

Here are some benchmark using timeit:

call (x100000): _parse_sample('simple_metric 1.513767429e+09')

Simple example with prometheus parser: 0.2489180564880371
Simple example with openmetrics parser: 1.1144659519195557
Simple example with the optimized openmetrics parser: 0.5948491096496582

call (x100000): _parse_sample('kube_service_labels{label_app="kube-state-metrics",label_chart="kube-state-metrics-0.5.0",label_heritage="Tiller",label_release="ungaged-panther",namespace="default",service="ungaged-panther-kube-state-metrics"} 1')

KSM metric example with prometheus parser: 1.6796550750732422
KSM metric example openmetrics parser: 6.6183180809021
KSM metric example optimized openmetrics parser: 2.0289480686187744

I don't think this is correct, on several points.

brian-brazil · 2019-05-07T10:16:15Z

prometheus_client/openmetrics/parser.py

internal functions and constants should begin with _

brian-brazil · 2019-05-07T10:21:00Z

prometheus_client/openmetrics/parser.py

Shouldn't this comparison be against 0?

This is also going to be n^2 overall if there's many backslashes.

it's n^2 in the worst case yes when we're escaping too many characters, I've mad a change by calling the function with smaller arguments _is_character_escaped(value_substr[:i], i) instead of _is_character_escaped(value_substr, i)
Let me know if you're thinking of a possible better solution to optimize 👍

prometheus_client/openmetrics/parser.py

Why are you lstipping here?

brian-brazil · 2019-05-07T10:27:03Z

prometheus_client/openmetrics/parser.py

What if label_name is zero length?

brian-brazil · 2019-05-07T10:27:46Z

prometheus_client/openmetrics/parser.py

Yeah, this is n^2. Work from the start in one loop.

This is still n^2

prometheus_client/openmetrics/parser.py

Couldn't you check each value, rather than the whole string?

brian-brazil · 2019-05-07T10:30:12Z

prometheus_client/openmetrics/parser.py

What if " # " is part of a label value?

You should also add a testcase for this so it doesn't trip up someone else.

brian-brazil · 2019-05-07T10:31:50Z

prometheus_client/openmetrics/parser.py

Tabs aren't supported.

brian-brazil · 2019-05-07T10:32:39Z

prometheus_client/openmetrics/parser.py

This is not a clean way to do this. Use find instead.

brian-brazil · 2019-05-07T10:32:46Z

prometheus_client/openmetrics/parser.py

Why the strip?

ahmed-mez · 2019-05-09T09:05:41Z

Thank you for reviewing the PR, I've made the requested changes and added a test case, the parsing logic is more solid now.
I'll be looking forward to get a second review. Thanks!

brian-brazil · 2019-05-09T10:23:33Z

prometheus_client/openmetrics/parser.py

value_substr[-1] is more succinct

brian-brazil · 2019-05-09T10:23:46Z

prometheus_client/openmetrics/parser.py

This is still n^2

brian-brazil · 2019-05-09T10:25:59Z

prometheus_client/openmetrics/parser.py

Why the lstrip?

brian-brazil · 2019-05-09T10:26:53Z

prometheus_client/openmetrics/parser.py

This is still here, don't look inside error strings

brian-brazil · 2019-05-10T14:20:29Z

prometheus_client/openmetrics/parser.py

This is guaranteed to be right after the equals.

brian-brazil · 2019-05-10T14:21:01Z

prometheus_client/openmetrics/parser.py

Shouldn't the MetricFamily code catch this already?

brian-brazil · 2019-05-10T14:23:47Z

prometheus_client/openmetrics/parser.py

This is guaranteed to be after the ", if present.

brian-brazil · 2019-05-10T14:24:08Z

prometheus_client/openmetrics/parser.py

Use find instead of index

brian-brazil · 2019-05-10T14:24:32Z

prometheus_client/openmetrics/parser.py

What if it (incorrectly) does?

changed it to if text.count(seperator) == 0:
it should garantee that 👍

ahmed-mez · 2019-05-14T09:13:49Z

Here is the benchmark after the changes we made in this PR, the perfs got even better now ~3.9x

call (x100000): _parse_sample('simple_metric 1.513767429e+09')

Simple example with prometheus parser: 0.24088597297668457

brian-brazil · 2019-05-14T11:46:20Z

That looks about right. Could you expand the unittests to ensure we're covering everything for both the old and new way of parsing labels? Also, it'd be great if you could add tests for any things this PR had incorrect at any point as if you've made this mistake others likely will too and the tests are going to be used as the openmetrics test suite.

ahmed-mez · 2019-05-16T08:27:20Z

Added test cases, I guess the PR is ready for a final review :)

brian-brazil · 2019-05-16T09:25:58Z

prometheus_client/openmetrics/parser.py

potentially contains

brian-brazil · 2019-05-16T09:26:59Z

prometheus_client/openmetrics/parser.py

How would this handle something like {a} ?

made the required changes and added some test cases like that

brian-brazil · 2019-05-16T09:28:21Z

tests/openmetrics/test_parser.py

As these tests will become the official regression suite for OpenMetrics, it'd be best to test a full line rather than just a function.

added multiple test cases to assert what function are called 👍

Great! @brian-brazil :) any plans to release soon?
