ClickHouse是最近比较火的一款数据库,似乎在公有云用户的使用场景上和Elasticsearch有一定的重合。特别是在一些基于日志的业务数据的分析场景,ClickHouse拥有高压缩率、高速查询的特性,受到不少心急火燎的用户的青睐。本文,针对存储效能这个场景来对比一下ES和CK的表现。
因为本文比较长,这里先把最终结果展示出来(无副本情况):
结论:因为ES使用列存(doc value)对Keyword字段以及使用BKD tree对数值字段进行存储,在无需全文检索(无需读取原始日志分析)的OLAP场景,能够达到与CK同等级的压缩率(ES的主键 _id
必须为倒排索引,无法列存压缩,所以有细微差距)
ClickHouse是一款专门为OLAP场景,为海量数据下商业智能领域(也就是我们所说的 BI 领域)所设计的列式存储数据库产品,它为OLAP场景做了很多专门的优化,非高精度,非高并发,非CRUD,非ACID的大数据分析场景很多情况下是很适合使用CK的。
但现在使用ES做OLAP场景的案例也不少,很多人会直接说ES从技术架构上不适合做OLAP,因为它本身设计是以搜索引擎为主,底层数据结构的lucene也不是为OLAP场景设计的。这些表述从技术上没有问题,CK在很多方面确实也是做到了极致。
但有需求即代表合理,ES目前是事实上,用在业务日志上做OLAP分析的最常见的方案之一。ES会被作为OLAP数据库的主要原因我认为有以下几个:
回到我们今天的主题,关于对比ES和CK的存储效率,为了能够更直观,避免争议,我们使用ClickHouse官网的Tutorial数据:
curl https://datasets.clickhouse.tech/hits/tsv/hits_v1.tsv.xz | unxz --threads=`nproc` > hits_v1.tsv
curl https://datasets.clickhouse.tech/visits/tsv/visits_v1.tsv.xz | unxz --threads=`nproc` > visits_v1.tsv
下载之后,解压的原始数据的大小:
ls -lh
总用量 9.8G
-rw-rw-r--. 1 caishichao caishichao 7.3G 4月 26 02:03 hits_v1.tsv
-rw-rw-r--. 1 caishichao caishichao 2.5G 4月 26 02:05 visits_v1.tsv
样本数据集是Yandex.Metrica这个网络分析服务产生的数据,典型的业务流量日志数据。其中:
按照Tutorial的教程,原封不动的按照如下方式创建数据库和数据表:

这里为了简单起见,我们只创建了hits
这张表,表中有非常多的参数。可以看到,这里并没有显式的创建二级索引,并且很多字段是做了精确的字段大小的限制的。
通过以下命令写入数据:
clickhouse-client --query "INSERT INTO tutorial.hits_v1 FORMAT TSV" --max_insert_block_size=100000 < hits_v1.tsv
数据写入之后,未优化之前的大小,可以看到数据总大小是2.5G,相比原先7.3G的数据,已经有了3倍的压缩

检查数据是否真正写入:
clickhouse-client --query "SELECT COUNT(*) FROM tutorial.hits_v1"
8873898
wc -l hits_v1.tsv
8873898 hits_v1.tsv
共8873898
条数据,正确。我们还可以做进一步的优化 (此操作会在后台合并数据以优化数据存储):
clickhouse-client --query "OPTIMIZE TABLE tutorial.hits_v1 FINAL"
优化之后,做了很多分区内的合并,文件目录明显变少,但数据总大小相差不大,变为2.4G
sudo du -h /var/lib/clickhouse/data/tutorial/hits_v1/
0 /var/lib/clickhouse/data/tutorial/hits_v1/detached

2.4G /var/lib/clickhouse/data/tutorial/hits_v1/
以上操作完全按照ClickHouse官网的Tutorial教程。这里要强调的是,此创建是在单节点,无副本的环境和配置下进行的。
接下来,我们来看一下同样的数据集在ES上的数据大小。先具体看一下数据:

# 做个样本
head -n 100 >> sample.tsv
我们将样本数据,在Kibana上加载,分析一下:
分析出了88个字段,与ClickHouse的Tutorials里hits表上定义的128个字段不符,需要比较精确的做mapping。
通常来说,用户大概会按照ClickHouse的数据表定义来生成es的mapping,比如上面我们看到的这个tutorial.hits_v1
数据表的定义,如果按照数据库里定义的类型去进行类比定义的话,大概会是下面的mapping:

以这样的方式去构建,基本上是在磁盘上为所有的字段,在不知道自己将来是否会使用,会如何使用的情况下,就位所有的字段相当于创建了二级索引。因此,在这种情况下生产的最终的索引数据会很大:
我们可以强制合并,
但效果不会明显:
因此,可以看到,即时ES只索引了700多万条数据,就已经有9GB,比CK的800多万条数据2.4GB,大了将近四倍。
ES需要调优!
如之前所述,CK是专门针对海量数据的OLAP分析场景而设计的列式存储数据库。其在多个方面,包括:数据建模,数据压缩,数据存储等都对OLAP场景做了专门的优化。这些优化并没有什么魔法,只是帮助用户把这些优化做成了默认模式。实际上,大部分的优化在ES上也是可以做的。
因为ES并非为OLAP专门设计的,是一个通用场景的数据库,若要用在OLAP场景,我们需要做一些专门的优化。
正确的做法是不能够简单的创建一个“对等索引”。
我们可以先通过Kibana上的数据可视化分析工具,查看各个字段的基本情况:
我们看到很多在原数据表定义为UInt8
、UInt16
的字段都是用于表示特定含义的,比如说IsMobile
, IsRobot
这种,在ES中根本不应该定义为numeric
类型,应该是keyword。
甚至,有些数据甚至有可能在现有的大屏分析、业务分析时根本不会用,比如,下面的这些哈希值:
我们可以更进一步,过滤所有的numeric
类型:
我们可以得出一个结论,只有Timing
结尾的字段,才值得定义type为numeric
。其他都是keyword
。
因此,我们的数据建模应该是这样的:
{
"settings": {
"index": {
"number_of_replicas": "0"
}
},
"mappings": {
"dynamic": "true",
"dynamic_templates": [
{
"Timing_as_numeric": {
"match": "*Timing",
"match_mapping_type": "string",
"mapping": {
"type": "long",
"index": false
}
}
},
{
"strings_as_keyword": {
"match_mapping_type": "string",
"mapping": {
"ignore_above": 1024,
"index": false,
"type": "keyword"
}
}
}
],
"date_detection": false,
"numeric_detection": false,
"properties": {
"ClientEventTime": {
"type": "date",
"format": "strict_date_optional_time||epoch_millis||yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss"
},
"EventTime": {
"type": "date",
"format": "strict_date_optional_time||epoch_millis||yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss"
},
"UTCEventTime": {
"type": "date",
"format": "strict_date_optional_time||epoch_millis||yyyy-MM-dd HH:mm:ss"
}
}
},
"aliases": {}
}
如果我们是使用filebeat来进行数据的采集,filebeat会默认添加很多额外的字段,比如 "agent", "host", "ecs","input","log"
,这些字段在OLAP场景都是不需要的,添加如下processor在filebeat.yml
文件中:
processors:
- drop_fields:
fields: ["agent", "host", "ecs","input","log"]
ignore_missing: false
同时,filebeat也会把数据的采集时间作为@timestamp
添加。我们可以在ingest pipeline上把这个字段给drop掉,同样的,message
字段也是多余的 (不再考虑原始日志的审计需求)
通过正确的mapping和去掉该场景下不需要的字段,索引的大小降到了CK数据的2倍:
在绝大多数的OLAP场景,我们只关心汇总,聚合之后的指标,而非导出源数据,这时,我们可以进一步把索引模板调整为_source: disabled
此时,我们看到ES索引的大小已经和CK的大小相差无几。此设置下,只是无法再通过_source
获取字段值:
但所有的聚合、过滤、排序操作还是可以正常运行的。
如果对于一些关键数据,我们仍然希望能够以行的方式读取的话,我们可以在关闭_source
的情况下,通过字段的store
参数进行调节:
"ClientTimeZone" : {
"type" : "keyword",
"index" : false,
"store" : true,
"ignore_above" : 1024
},
"CodeVersion" : {
"type" : "keyword",
"index" : false,
"store" : true,
"ignore_above" : 1024
}
通过将特定字段的数据进行存储,而非将整行数据都存储在_source
当中,我们可以在读取的时候,通过stored_fields
参数:
GET ck_hits_no_source_with_field_stored/_search
{
"stored_fields": [ "ClientTimeZone", "CodeVersion" ]
}
获取单行字段值:
正如上文所说,存在即合理,大量用户在OLAP场景选择ES有其合理性。在没有使用"index.codec": "best_compression"
的情况下,作为同样使用列存技术,同样默认使用LZ4压缩算法的两个产品,ES通过合理的优化,能够达到CK一样的压缩效果。
当然,CK在仅使用列存的情况下能够通过组合字段,能够返回行数据,而ES,则需要借助_source
字段保存整行数据,或者使用字段的store
属性才能返回文档值(对应CK的行数据)。因为历史接口的原因和没有强烈的用户需求,ES并没有从列存数据中返回字段的功能,但这个功能并不是不能添加的。
最后,本文仅涉及数据压缩的内容,不讨论上层的计算算子,SQL支持,Join等功能。也并不是说ES在OLAP场景比CK更合适,用户需要根据自己的情况选择合理的,ES更适合在一个通用的,广泛的,弱OLAP场景进行使用。希望本文能够帮助到哪些将ES用在OLAP场景,但又因为压缩率赶到困扰的同学。
