OOS class-descriptor cost scales per field (each new field adds ~50 B of class metadata to the serialized form), so the OOS-encoded envelope ballooned from 382 B → 500 B going insecure → secure. The binary envelope is length-prefixed and pays no per-field metadata, so it actually got slightly smaller (220 B → 183 B; the secure-path key shape is more compact). The savings amplify exactly where they matter most — production-shaped clusters. + +### Why ndbench shows 162 bytes when standalone shows 141 (insecure path) + +The standalone tests serialize a fixed `(key, value)` pair into the envelope. The ndbench plugin sends keys through `EVCacheImpl`'s hashed-key path, which means the EVCacheValue envelope carries the **original key bytes** alongside the value. With ~22-character hashed keys at scale, OOS class-descriptor overhead for the extra String field adds ~20 bytes on top of the 141 base. + +### Latency notes + +- **Write latency**: insecure showed a ~5% improvement on avg with binary; secure was within noise both directions. Binary envelope skips OOS reflection and class-descriptor writes, but at the per-call scale of a single set the savings are dominated by network RTT. +- **Read latency**: insecure was identical between phases; secure was within noise. EVCache's `readLat*` counters are cumulative since JVM start; the 240-s window is too short to materially move the running mean. +- **No write failures and no read regression** on the binary path under either security mode, confirming the cross-client round-trip works under sustained load. + +### Reproduction + +1. Bump nfndbench's evcache dependency to a release containing this PR. +2. Deploy to a `ndb_*` Spinnaker app pointing at any EVCache test cluster (e.g. `evcache_joeleesampleapp`). If authz is enforced on the cluster, add the ndbench app's identity to the cluster's Gandalf id-group first. +3. Set the FPs above on the ndbench app scope (gate `/fastproperties/upsert`). For the secure run, leave `use.secure` unset or set it `true`; for the insecure run, set `use.secure=false`. +4. Terminate the ndbench ASG instances so they read fresh FPs at construction. +5. Start traffic on each: `curl http://:8080/REST/ndbench/driver/init/EVCachePlugin && .../startWrites && .../startReads` +6. Snapshot memcached `stats` (`STAT bytes`, `STAT curr_items`) on one node before + after a steady-state window; bytes/item = ΔBytes / ΔItems. +7. Snapshot ndbench `/REST/ndbench/driver/stats` on all instances for write/read latency aggregates. +8. Flip `envelope.binary.serialization.enabled` to `true`, terminate ASG instances again, repeat steps 5-7. + +## Caveats and scope + +- Memcached default-config clusters store items uncompressed; numbers above are uncompressed bytes. If the consuming app configures `.compression.threshold` to enable client-side gzip, the savings shrink because OOS class-descriptor bytes compress slightly (~5 B/item) more than the binary envelope's already-dense layout (see Section A's `gzDelta` column). +- The 162 / 317 B/item numbers are specific to ndbench's key/value shape (short String keys, 200-byte values). Apps with longer original keys will see proportionally larger savings; apps with much larger values will see smaller percentage savings (the fixed envelope overhead is amortized over more value bytes). +- Memcached slab-class effects can amplify or dampen the *resident* RAM savings depending on whether the size delta crosses slab boundaries — the `STAT bytes` number reported above is raw stored bytes, not slab-allocated bytes. At fleet scale these effects average out near the bytes-delta figure. +- The secure path measures the realistic configuration most production EVCache consumers will use (mTLS + authz enforced). The insecure path is included for contrast and for clusters where the authz boundary is enforced externally. diff --git a/evcache-core/src/main/java/com/netflix/evcache/EVCacheImpl.java b/evcache-core/src/main/java/com/netflix/evcache/EVCacheImpl.java index cefa384d..dadc5a38 100644 --- a/evcache-core/src/main/java/com/netflix/evcache/EVCacheImpl.java +++ b/evcache-core/src/main/java/com/netflix/evcache/EVCacheImpl.java @@ -77,6 +77,8 @@ public class EVCacheImpl implements EVCache, EVCacheImplMBean { private static final Logger log = LoggerFactory.getLogger(EVCacheImpl.class); + private static final int ENVELOPE_COMPRESSION_DISABLED = Integer.MAX_VALUE; + private final Clock clock; private final String _appName; private final String _cacheName; @@ -164,8 +166,12 @@ public class EVCacheImpl implements EVCache, EVCacheImplMBean { this.maxHashLength = propertyRepository.get(appName + ".max.hash.length", Integer.class).orElse(-1); this.encoderBase = propertyRepository.get(appName + ".hash.encoder", String.class).orElse("base64"); this.autoHashKeys = propertyRepository.get(_appName + ".auto.hash.keys", Boolean.class).orElseGet("evcache.auto.hash.keys").orElse(false); - this.evcacheValueTranscoder = new EVCacheTranscoder(); - evcacheValueTranscoder.setCompressionThreshold(Integer.MAX_VALUE); + // Whether the EVCacheValue envelope (hashed keys) is written using the compact binary format + // instead of native Java serialization. + final boolean useBinarySerialization = propertyRepository.get(_appName + ".envelope.binary.serialization.enabled", Boolean.class) + .orElseGet("evcache.envelope.binary.serialization.enabled").orElse(false).get(); + final int maxValueSize = propertyRepository.get("default.evcache.max.data.size", Integer.class).orElse(20 * 1024 * 1024).get(); + this.evcacheValueTranscoder = new EVCacheTranscoder(maxValueSize, ENVELOPE_COMPRESSION_DISABLED, useBinarySerialization); // default max key length is 200, instead of using what is defined in MemcachedClientIF.MAX_KEY_LENGTH (250).
