Whether or not use max TTL for Redis? - memory

I use Redis as cache solution for Wordpress. I set max memory at 128m. Why is max TLL used? And how can I understand if I should set a max TTL?

Behavior of docker compose v3's deploy resources limits 'cpus' parameter setting (is it an absolute number or a percentage of available cores)

Folks,
With regards to docker compose v3's 'cpus' parameter setting (under 'deploy' 'resources' 'limits') to limit the available CPUs to a service, is it an absolute number that specifies the count of CPUs or is it a more useful percentage of available CPUs setting.
From what i read it appears to be an absolute number, where in, say if a host has 4 CPUs and one were to set two services in the compose file with 0.5 then both the services combined can only use a max of 1 CPU (0.5 each) while leaving the 3 remaining CPUs idle.
But thinking loudly it appears to me that it would be nicer if this is a percentage of available cores setting in which case for the same previous example this would result in both services each being able to use up to 2 CPUs each & thereby the two combined could use up all 4 when needed. This way when i increase or decrease the available cores the relative settings would help avoid modifying this value again.
EDIT(09/10/21):
On reading this it appears that the above can be achieved with 'cpu-shares' setting instead of setting 'cpus'. Is my understanding correct?
The doc for 'cpu-shares' however mentions the below cautionary note,
"It does not guarantee or reserve any specific CPU access."
If the above is achieved with this setting, then what does it mean (what is to lose) to not have a guarantee or reservation?
EDIT(09/13/21):
Just to summarize,
The 'cpus' parameter setting is an an absolute number that refers to the number of CPUs a service has reserved for it to use at all times. Correct?
The 'cpu-shares' parameter setting is a relative weight number the value of which is used to compute/determine the percentage of total available CPU that a service can use only when there is contention. Correct?

Redis Memory Optimization suggestions

I have a Redis Master and 2 slaves. All 3 are currently on the same unix server. The memory used by the 3 instances is approximately 3.5 G , 3 G , 3G. There are about 275000 keys in the redis db. About 4000 are hashes. 1 Set has 100000 values. 1 List has 275000 keys in it. Its a List of Hashes and Sets. The server has total memory of 16 GB. Currently 9.5 GB is used. The persistence is currently off. The rdb file is written once in a day by forced background save. Please provide any suggestions for optimizations. max-ziplist configuration is default currently.
Optimizing Hashes
First, let's look at the hashes. Two important questions - how many elements in each hash, and what is the largest value in those hashes? A hash uses the memory efficient ziplist representation if the following condition is met:
len(hash) < hash-max-ziplist-entries && length-of-largest-field(hash) < hash-max-ziplist-value
You should increase the two settings in redis.conf based on your data, but don't increase it more than 3-4 times the default.
Optimizing Sets
A set with 100000 cannot be optimized, unless you provide additional details on your use case. Some general strategies though -
Maybe use HyperLogLog - Are you using the set to count unique elements? If the only commands you run are sadd and scard - maybe you should switch to a hyperloglog.
Maybe use Bloom Filter - Are you using the set to check for existence of a member? If the only commands you run are sadd and sismember - maybe you should implement a bloom filter and use it instead of the set.
How big is each element? - Set members should be small. If you are storing big objects, you are perhaps doing something incorrect.
Optimizing Lists
A single list with 275000 seems wrong. It is going to be slow to access elements in the center of the list. Are you sure you list is the right data structure for your use case?
Change list-compress-depth to 1 or higher. Read about this setting in redis.conf - there are tradeoffs. But for a list of 275000 elements, you certainly want to enable compression.
Tools
Use the open source redis-rdb-tools to analyze your data set (disclaimer: I am the author of this tool). It will tell you how much memory each key is taking. It will help you to decide where to concentrate your efforts on.
You can also refer to this memory optimization cheat sheet.
What else?
You have provided very little details on your use case. The best savings come from picking the right data structure for your use case. I'd encourage you to update your question with more details on what you are storing within the hash / list / set.
We did following configuration and that helped to reduce the memory footprint by 40%
list-max-ziplist-entries 2048
list-max-ziplist-value 10000
list-compress-depth 1
set-max-intset-entries 2048
hash-max-ziplist-entries 2048
hash-max-ziplist-value 10000
Also, we increased the RAM on the linux server and that helped us with the Redis memory issues.

How to increase the default memory usage in odoo?

I'm using ubuntu server and configure the odoo project. it has 8GB of ram and available memory is arround 6GB so i need to increase the odoo default memory. So please let me know how to increase?
Have you tried playing with some of Odoo's Advanced and Multiprocessing options?
odoo.py --help
Advanced options:
--osv-memory-count-limit=OSV_MEMORY_COUNT_LIMIT
Force a limit on the maximum number of records kept in
the virtual osv_memory tables. The default is False,
which means no count-based limit.
--osv-memory-age-limit=OSV_MEMORY_AGE_LIMIT
Force a limit on the maximum age of records kept in
the virtual osv_memory tables. This is a decimal value
expressed in hours, and the default is 1 hour.
--max-cron-threads=MAX_CRON_THREADS
Maximum number of threads processing concurrently cron
jobs (default 2).
Multiprocessing options:
--workers=WORKERS Specify the number of workers, 0 disable prefork mode.
--limit-memory-soft=LIMIT_MEMORY_SOFT
Maximum allowed virtual memory per worker, when
reached the worker be reset after the current request
(default 671088640 aka 640MB).
--limit-memory-hard=LIMIT_MEMORY_HARD
Maximum allowed virtual memory per worker, when
reached, any memory allocation will fail (default
805306368 aka 768MB).
--limit-time-cpu=LIMIT_TIME_CPU
Maximum allowed CPU time per request (default 60).
--limit-time-real=LIMIT_TIME_REAL
Maximum allowed Real time per request (default 120).
--limit-request=LIMIT_REQUEST
Maximum number of request to be processed per worker
(default 8192).
Also if you are using WSGI or something similar to run Odoo, these may also need some tuning.

Inserting data into mysql db from csv file using sidekiq and smarter_csv

Im using Sidekiq (https://github.com/mperham/sidekiq) for background processing in my rails application. I need to insert 75,000 records into a mysql db from a csv file. Im using smarter_csv (https://github.com/tilo/smarter_csv) in conjunction with sidekiq to insert the data in chunks into the db. I have the following questions
Is the maximum number of workers for sidekiq 25 ?
What is the maximum possible pool size for a mysql db and what should be the optimum value of pool size i should use for minimum possible transfer time ?
Thanks
sidekiq -c 50 creates 50 processors (default is 25)
MySql accepts 100 connections by default. If you change the pool size in database.yml, make sure you enter a value less or equal then the number of connections MySql can handle. I don't know what the optimal value is, I think it depends on the amount of RAM available.

Dimensioning a redis set

We want to use redis for one of our data stores. We have a hard time "guessing" what the size of that redis store will be and we're hoping someone can come up with the right help.
This store will exclusively be be built using Sorted Sets. Each set will have a key that will be an integer between 1 and 10^10. We currently have about 8M keys, but we expect to reach 30M 'quickly'.
Each set will have a variable number of elements, but the average is 17 elements, with a max of 135 and a min of 0. (Let me know if we need to provide other numbers, like st. dev.).
The elements in the sorted set will be strings. Now we want them to be the shortest string possible (5 or 6 chars?), but still avoid collisions. The scores will be timestamps.
We currently have about 500 writes/sec, but expect to grow that 10 times, and we currently have 3000 reads/sec and expect to grow that also 10 times.
We will also use the "dump" strategy rather than AOF.
Our goal is to use a single (yet big) Redis master store (and maybe some slaves store). What RAM should we allocate to our redis instance?
If you use Redis 2.6, you can benefit from the ziplist memory optimization applied to zset, because most of your zsets have a small number of items.
To calculate the memory you need, you can simply fill an instance with a small number of keys corresponding to your requirements and extrapolate. For this use case, memory consumption will grow linearly with the number of keys.
I have just tried it on my system, I get 30 MB per 100000 keys (following your specifications), which results in 9 GB of memory required for 30M keys. You need to take some margin, and include some space for COW memory spent at save time.
A 12 GB server would probably work if you are careful.
A 16 GB server will be just fine.
