HAProxy configuration - haproxy.cfg

For more details about how to use HAProxy on TiDB, see Best Practices for Using HAProxy in TiDB.

global                                     # Global configuration.
   chroot      /var/lib/haproxy            # Changes the current directory and sets superuser privileges for the startup process to improve security.

   maxconn     4000                        # The maximum number of concurrent connections for a single HAProxy process.
   user        haproxy                     # Same with the UID parameter.
   group       haproxy                     # Same with the GID parameter. A dedicated user group is recommended.
   nbproc      64                          # The number of processes created when going daemon. When starting multiple processes to forward requests, ensure that the value is large enough so that HAProxy does not block processes.
   daemon                                  # Makes the process fork into background. It is equivalent to the command line "-D" argument. It can be disabled by the command line "-db" argument.

   retries 2                               # The maximum number of retries to connect to an upstream server. If the number of connection attempts exceeds the value, the backend server is considered unavailable.
   timeout connect  2s                     # The maximum time to wait for a connection attempt to a backend server to succeed. It should be set to a shorter time if the server is located on the same LAN as HAProxy.
   timeout client 30000s                   # The maximum inactivity time on the client side.

"leastconn" is recommended where long sessions are expected, such as LDAP, SQL and TSE, rather than protocols using short sessions, such as HTTP. The algorithm is dynamic, which means that server weights might be adjusted on the fly for slow starts for instance.

Test plan

1. Deploy TiDB v5.3.0 and v5.2.2 using TiUP.
2. Create a database named tpcc: create database tpcc;.
3. Use BenchmarkSQL to import the TPC-C 5000 Warehouse data: tiup bench tpcc prepare --warehouses 5000 --db tpcc -H 127.0.0.1 -p 4000.
4. Run the tiup bench tpcc run -U root --db tpcc --host 127.0.0.1 --port 4000 --time 1800s --warehouses 5000 --threads {{thread}} command to perform stress tests on TiDB via HAProxy. For each concurrency, the test takes 30 minutes.
5. Extract the tpmC data of New Order from the result.

Test result

Compared with v5.2.2, the TPC-C performance of v5.3.0 is reduced slightly by 2.99%.
