Gazelle Plugin

A Native Engine for Spark SQL with vectorized SIMD optimizations. Please refer to user guide for details on how to enable Gazelle.

You can find the all the Gazelle Plugin documents on the project web page.

Introduction

Overview

Spark SQL works very well with structured row-based data. It used WholeStageCodeGen to improve the performance by Java JIT code. However Java JIT is usually not working very well on utilizing latest SIMD instructions, especially under complicated queries. Apache Arrow provided CPU-cache friendly columnar in-memory layout, its SIMD-optimized kernels and LLVM-based SQL engine Gandiva are also very efficient.

Gazelle Plugin reimplements Spark SQL execution layer with SIMD-friendly columnar data processing based on Apache Arrow, and leverages Arrow's CPU-cache friendly columnar in-memory layout, SIMD-optimized kernels and LLVM-based expression engine to bring better performance to Spark SQL.

Performance data

For advanced performance testing, below charts show the results by using two benchmarks with Gazelle v1.1: 1. Decision Support Benchmark1 and 2. Decision Support Benchmark2. The testing environment for Decision Support Benchmark1 is using 1 master + 3 workers and Intel(r) Xeon(r) Gold 6252 CPU|384GB memory|NVMe SSD x3 per single node with 1.5TB dataset and parquet format.

  • Decision Support Benchmark1 is a query set modified from TPC-H benchmark. We change Decimal to Double since Decimal hasn't been supported in OAP v1.0-Gazelle Plugin. Overall, the result shows a 1.49X performance speed up from OAP v1.0-Gazelle Plugin comparing to Vanilla SPARK 3.0.0. We also put the detail result by queries, most of queries in Decision Support Benchmark1 can take the advantages from Gazelle Plugin. The performance boost ratio may depend on the individual query.

The testing environment for Decision Support Benchmark2 is using 1 master + 3 workers and Intel(r) Xeon(r) Platinum 8360Y CPU|1440GB memory|NVMe SSD x4 per single node with 3TB dataset and parquet format.

  • Decision Support Benchmark2 is a query set modified from TPC-DS benchmark. We change Decimal to Doubel since Decimal hasn't been supported in OAP v1.0-Gazelle Plugin. We pick up 10 queries which can be fully supported in OAP v1.0-Gazelle Plugin and the result shows a 1.26X performance speed up comparing to Vanilla SPARK 3.0.0.

Performance

Please notes the performance data is not an official from TPC-H and TPC-DS. The actual performance result may vary by individual workloads. Please try your workloads with Gazelle Plugin first and check the DAG or log file to see if all the operators can be supported in OAP-Gazelle Plugin. Please check the detailed page on performance tuning for TPC-H and TPC-DS workloads.
