DB2 - Problem description

Problem IC65503 Status: Closed

HIGH CPU USAGE IN A SCENARIO WITH TABLE QUEUE SPILLING

product:
DB2 FOR LUW / DB2FORLUW / 950 - DB2
Problem description:
The mechanism that is used to flow rows between agents in a DPF 
environment is called tablequeues.  There exists a flow control 
mechanism to regulate the flow of rows called a tablequeue spill 
that will decide to defer the sending of data by spilling it 
into a temp table. 
 
In a configuration with many database partitions, for example, 
over 50 partitions or so, then due to this defect there may be 
some logic that does unnecessary work thereby driving up the cpu 
usage. 
 
If stacks are collected for an agent that is trying to resend 
spilled buffers, the function "StartSpillResends" might be seen 
in this scenario as being a large consumer of cpu cycles. 
 
This fix will rework the logic in a way that will remove the 
unneeded work and help alleviate the cpu usage.
