Hi Asif,

Hi,

I did some tests a while back, and here are the results. The tests were done to simulate
a live database environment using pgbench.

machine configuration used for this test:
Instance Type:    t2.xlarge
Volume Type  :    io1
Memory (MiB) :    16384
vCPU #           :    4
Architecture    :    X86_64
IOP                 :    16000
Database Size (GB) :    102

The setup consist of 3 machines.
- one for database instances
- one for pg_basebackup client and
- one for pgbench with some parallel workers, simulating SELECT loads.

                                   basebackup | 4 workers | 8 Workers  | 16 workers
Backup Duration(Min):       69.25    |  20.44      | 19.86          | 20.15 
(pgbench running with 50 parallel client simulating SELECT load)


Well that looks a bit strange. All 4, 8 and 16 workers backup configurations
seem to have taken the same time. Is it because the machine CPUs are
only 4? In that case did you try to run with 2-workers and compare that
with 4-workers time?

Also, just to clarify and be sure - was there anything else running on any of
these 3 machines while the backup was in progress.

Regards,
Jeevan Ladhe


Backup Duration(Min):       154.75   |  49.28     | 45.27         | 20.35
(pgbench running with 100 parallel client simulating SELECT load)

I forgot to make a check for no-manifest. Fixed. Attached is the updated patch.


Have we done any performance testing with this patch to see the benefits? If so, can you point me to the results? If not, then can we perform some tests on large backups to see the benefits of this patch/idea?
