I have played with v14 patch. I previously complained that pgbench
always reported 9 errors (actually the number is always the number
specified by "-c" -1 in my case).
$ pgbench -p 11000 -c 10 -T 10 --max-tries=0 test
pgbench (15devel, server 13.3)
starting vacuum...end.
transaction type: <builtin: TPC-B (sort of)>
scaling factor: 1
query mode: simple
number of clients: 10
number of threads: 1
duration: 10 s
number of transactions actually processed: 974
number of failed transactions: 9 (0.916%)
number of transactions retried: 651 (66.226%)
total number of retries: 8482
latency average = 101.317 ms (including failures)
initial connection time = 44.440 ms
tps = 97.796487 (without initial connection time)
To reduce the number of errors I provide "--max-tries=9000" because
pgbench reported 8482 errors.
$ pgbench -p 11000 -c 10 -T 10 --max-tries=9000 test
pgbench (15devel, server 13.3)
starting vacuum...end.
transaction type: <builtin: TPC-B (sort of)>
scaling factor: 1
query mode: simple
number of clients: 10
number of threads: 1
duration: 10 s
number of transactions actually processed: 1133
number of failed transactions: 9 (0.788%)
number of transactions retried: 755 (66.112%)
total number of retries: 9278
maximum number of tries: 9000
latency average = 88.570 ms (including failures)
initial connection time = 23.384 ms
tps = 112.015219 (without initial connection time)
Unfortunately this didn't work. Still 9 errors because pgbench
terminated the last round of run.
Then I gave up to use -T, and switched to use -t. Number of
transactions for -t option was calculated by the total number of
transactions actually processed (1133) / number of clients (10) =
11.33. I rouned up 11.33 to 12, then multiply number of clients (10)
and got 120. The result:
$ pgbench -p 11000 -c 10 -t 120 --max-tries=9000 test
pgbench (15devel, server 13.3)
starting vacuum...end.
transaction type: <builtin: TPC-B (sort of)>
scaling factor: 1
query mode: simple
number of clients: 10
number of threads: 1
number of transactions per client: 120
number of transactions actually processed: 1200/1200
number of transactions retried: 675 (56.250%)
total number of retries: 8524
maximum number of tries: 9000
latency average = 93.777 ms
initial connection time = 14.120 ms
tps = 106.635908 (without initial connection time)
Finally I was able to get a result without any errors. This is not a
super simple way to obtain pgbench results without errors, but
probably I can live with it.
Best regards,
