Procedure¶

The large query isolation and global timeout features are disabled by default. If you enable them, the configuration will take effect immediately. Perform the following steps to configure the features:

Log in to the CSS management console.
Choose Clusters in the navigation pane. On the Clusters page, locate the target cluster, and click Access Kibana in the Operation column.

In the navigation pane of Kibana on the left, choose Dev Tools. Run the following command to enable large query isolation and global timeout features:

PUT _cluster/settings
{
  "persistent": {
    "search.isolator.enabled": true,
    "search.isolator.time.enabled": true
  }
}

The two features each has an independent switch and the following parameters.

**Table 1** Parameters for large query isolation and global timeout duration¶
Switch	Parameter	Description
search.isolator.enabled	search.isolator.memory.task.limit search.isolator.time.management	Thresholds of a shard query task. A query task exceeding one of these thresholds is regarded as a large query task.
	search.isolator.memory.pool.limit search.isolator.memory.heap.limit search.isolator.count.limit	Resource usage thresholds in the isolation pool. If the resource usage of a query task exceeds one of these thresholds, the task will be intercepted. Note search.isolator.memory.heap.limit defines the limit on the heap memory consumed by write, query, and other operations of a node. If the limit is exceeded, large query tasks in the isolation pool will be interrupted.
	search.isolator.strategy search.isolator.strategy.ratio	Policy for selecting a query task in the isolation pool.
search.isolator.time.enabled	search.isolator.time.limit	Global timeout interval of query tasks.

Configure the large query isolation and global timeout duration separately.

Configure the thresholds of a shard query task. A query task exceeding one of these thresholds is regarded as a large query task.

PUT _cluster/settings
{
  "persistent": {
    "search.isolator.memory.task.limit": "50MB",
    "search.isolator.time.management": "10s"
  }
}

**Table 2** Parameter description¶
Parameter	Data Type	Description
search.isolator.memory.task.limit	String	Threshold of the memory requested by a query task to perform aggregation or other operations. If the requested memory exceeds the threshold, the task will be isolated and observed. Value range: 0b to the maximum heap memory of a node Default value: 50MB Note You can run the following command to query the current heap memory and the maximum heap memory of a cluster: GET _cat/nodes?&h=id,ip,port,r,ramPercent,ramCurrent,heapMax,heapCurrent
search.isolator.time.management	String	Threshold of the duration of a query. (started when cluster resources are used for query). If the duration of a query exceeds the threshold, it will be isolated and observed. Value range: >= 0ms Default value: 10s

Configure the resource usage thresholds in the isolation pool. If the resource usage of a query task exceeds one of these thresholds, the task will be intercepted.

PUT _cluster/settings
{
  "persistent": {
    "search.isolator.memory.pool.limit": "50%",
    "search.isolator.memory.heap.limit": "90%",
    "search.isolator.count.limit": 1000
  }
}

**Table 3** Parameter description¶
Parameter	Data Type	Description
search.isolator.memory.pool.limit	String	Threshold of the heap memory percentage of the current node. If the total memory requested by large query tasks in the isolation pool exceeds the threshold, the interrupt control program will be triggered to cancel one of the tasks. Value range: 0.0 to 100.0% Default value: 50%
search.isolator.memory.heap.limit	String	Heap memory threshold of the current node. If the heap memory of the node exceeds the threshold, the interrupt control program will be triggered to cancel a large query task in the isolation pool. Value range: 0.0 to 100.0% Default value: 90%
search.isolator.count.limit	Integer	Threshold of the number of large query tasks in the current node isolation pool. If the number of observed query tasks exceeds the threshold, the interrupt control program will be triggered to stop accepting new large queries. New large query requests will be directly canceled. Value range: 10`-`50000 Default value: 1000

Note

In addition to search.isolator.memory.pool.limit and search.isolator.count.limit parameters, you can configure search.isolator.memory.task.limit and search.isolator.time.management to control the number of query tasks that enter the isolation pool.

Policy for selecting a query task in the isolation pool.

PUT _cluster/settings
{
  "persistent": {
    "search.isolator.strategy": "fair",
    "search.isolator.strategy.ratio": "0.5%"
  }
}

Parameter	Data Type	Description
search.isolator.strategy	String	Policy for selecting large queries when the interrupt control program is triggered. The selected query will be interrupted. Note The large query isolation pool is checked every second until the heap memory is within the safe range. Values: fair, mem-first, or time-first mem-first: The query task that uses the most heap memory in the isolation pool is interrupted. time-first: The query task that has been running for the longest time in the isolation pool is interrupted. fair: If the difference between the heap memory of shard queries is smaller than Maximum_heap_memory x search.isolator.strategy.ratio, the query that takes the longest time should be interrupted. Otherwise, the query that uses the most heap memory is interrupted. Default value: fair
search.isolator.strategy.ratio	String	Threshold of the fair policy. This parameter takes effect only if search.isolator.strategy is set to fair. If the difference between the memory usage of large query tasks does not exceed the threshold, the query that takes the longest time should be interrupted. If the difference between the memory usage of large query tasks exceeds the threshold, the query that uses the most memory is interrupted. Value range: 0.0 to 100.0% Default value: 1%

Parameter

Data Type

Description

search.isolator.strategy

String

Policy for selecting large queries when the interrupt control program is triggered. The selected query will be interrupted.

Note

The large query isolation pool is checked every second until the heap memory is within the safe range.

Values: fair, mem-first, or time-first

mem-first: The query task that uses the most heap memory in the isolation pool is interrupted.
time-first: The query task that has been running for the longest time in the isolation pool is interrupted.
fair: If the difference between the heap memory of shard queries is smaller than Maximum_heap_memory x search.isolator.strategy.ratio, the query that takes the longest time should be interrupted. Otherwise, the query that uses the most heap memory is interrupted.

Default value: fair

search.isolator.strategy.ratio

String

Threshold of the fair policy. This parameter takes effect only if search.isolator.strategy is set to fair. If the difference between the memory usage of large query tasks does not exceed the threshold, the query that takes the longest time should be interrupted. If the difference between the memory usage of large query tasks exceeds the threshold, the query that uses the most memory is interrupted.

Value range: 0.0 to 100.0%

Default value: 1%

Configure the global timeout duration of query tasks.

PUT _cluster/settings
{
  "persistent": {
    "search.isolator.time.limit": "120s"
  }
}

Parameter	Data Type	Description
search.isolator.time.limit	String	Global query timeout duration. If this function is enabled, all the query tasks that exceed the specified duration will be canceled. Value range: >= 0ms Default value: 120s

Parameter

Data Type

Description

search.isolator.time.limit

String

Global query timeout duration. If this function is enabled, all the query tasks that exceed the specified duration will be canceled.

Value range: >= 0ms

Default value: 120s
