From f35d81d8d2994a2e3d10da1c95815813ee962314 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: mkusumdb Date: Fri, 6 Feb 2026 09:20:10 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] receive: Add map pooling and optimize sendLocalWrite to reduce allocations This commit implements three optimizations targeting ~612GB of allocations (11% of total) identified through production CPU profiling. **Optimization 1: Distribution Map Pooling (357GB, 6.41%)** - Added sync.Pools for distribution maps (endpointReplicaMapPool, tenantSeriesMapPool) - Added helper functions for map clearing with size guards - Modified distributeTimeseriesToReplicas to use pools - Added cleanup in fanoutForward **Optimization 2: sendLocalWrite Improvements (255GB, 4.57%)** Part A: Pool tenantSeriesMapping (10.30GB) - Added tenantTimeseriesMappingPool sync.Pool - Modified sendLocalWrite to get/return map from pool Part B: Optimize loop and pre-allocate (244.65GB) - Changed loop iteration from value to index (avoids copying TimeSeries structs) - Pre-allocate slices with capacity hints (single-tenant and multi-tenant cases) - Lazy allocation for multi-tenant scenarios **Memory Safety:** - Size guards prevent pool ballooning (max 100 entries) - Maps cleared before reuse (no data leakage) - Error path cleanup prevents pool leaks **Testing:** - Added TestDistributionMapPooling - Added TestClearMapFunctions - All existing tests pass **Profiling Source:** Cluster: dev-aws-us-east-1-obs-integrationtest Namespace: pantheon Pod: pantheon-db-rep0-0 Date: 2026-02-06 Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.5 --- pkg/receive/handler.go | 139 ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++-- pkg/receive/handler_test.go | 91 +++++++++++++++++++++++ 2 files changed, 225 insertions(+), 5 deletions(-) diff --git a/pkg/receive/handler.go b/pkg/receive/handler.go index 4a1655edee..e1bf0c1eca 100644 --- a/pkg/receive/handler.go +++ b/pkg/receive/handler.go @@ -122,6 +122,29 @@ var ( return &b }, } + + // Distribution map pools to reduce allocations in distributeTimeseriesToReplicas. + // These prevent the ~357GB of allocations observed in production profiling. + maxPooledDistributionMapSize = 100 // Max endpoints * replicas we'll pool + + endpointReplicaMapPool = sync.Pool{ + New: func() interface{} { + m := make(map[endpointReplica]map[string]trackedSeries) + return &m + }, + } + tenantSeriesMapPool = sync.Pool{ + New: func() interface{} { + m := make(map[string]trackedSeries, 1) + return &m + }, + } + tenantTimeseriesMappingPool = sync.Pool{ + New: func() interface{} { + m := make(map[string][]prompb.TimeSeries) + return &m + }, + } ) type sizeLimiter interface { @@ -511,6 +534,73 @@ func (h *Handler) getStats(r *http.Request, statsByLabelName string) ([]statusap return h.options.TSDBStats.TenantStats(statsLimit, statsByLabelName, tenantID), nil } +// clearEndpointReplicaMap clears a distribution map and returns whether it should be pooled. +// Maps that are too large are not pooled to prevent pool ballooning. +func clearEndpointReplicaMap(m *map[endpointReplica]map[string]trackedSeries) bool { + if len(*m) > maxPooledDistributionMapSize { + return false + } + // Clear the outer map by deleting all entries + for k := range *m { + delete(*m, k) + } + return true +} + +// clearTenantSeriesMap clears a tenant series map and returns whether it should be pooled. +func clearTenantSeriesMap(m *map[string]trackedSeries) bool { + if len(*m) > maxPooledDistributionMapSize { + return false + } + // Clear the map by deleting all entries + for k := range *m { + delete(*m, k) + } + return true +} + +// clearTenantTimeseriesMapping clears a tenant timeseries mapping and returns whether it should be pooled. +func clearTenantTimeseriesMapping(m *map[string][]prompb.TimeSeries) bool { + if len(*m) > maxPooledDistributionMapSize { + return false + } + // Clear the map and the slices to avoid holding references + for k := range *m { + // Clear the slice to release references to TimeSeries + (*m)[k] = nil + delete(*m, k) + } + return true +} + +// returnDistributionMapsToPool returns the distribution maps to their respective pools after clearing them. +// This should be called after the maps are no longer needed to reduce memory allocations. +func returnDistributionMapsToPool(localWrites, remoteWrites map[endpointReplica]map[string]trackedSeries) { + // Return nested maps first + for er := range localWrites { + if nestedMap := localWrites[er];
