Wat is Databricks Performance Optimization?

Databricks Performance Optimization omvat alle technieken en best practices om de snelheid, efficiëntie en kosten-effectiviteit van Databricks workloads te verbeteren. Dit omvat cluster configuratie, data layout, query optimalisatie en monitoring.

Waarom Performance Optimization Cruciaal Is

Optimalisatie levert directe business value op:

Typische Performance Verbeteringen

70%
Kosten reductie
5x
Query snelheid
90%

Data Optimization

Optimaliseer data layout met Delta Lake features zoals Z-ordering, partitionering en data skipping.

  • Delta Lake optimalisatie
  • Z-ordering
  • Partitionering strategie
  • Data compaction

Cost Optimization

Reduceer kosten door efficient resource gebruik, monitoring en budget controls te implementeren.

  • Resource monitoring
  • Budget alerts
  • Cluster policies
  • Usage analysis

Cluster Optimization

Voor Optimalisatie

  • Fixed-size clusters
  • Over-provisioned resources
  • Standard instance types
  • Geen auto-scaling
  • Hoge idle costs
€5.000/maand

Na Optimalisatie

  • Auto-scaling clusters
  • Right-sized resources
  • Memory optimized instances
  • Spot instances mix
  • Lage idle costs
€1.500/maand

Stap 1: Cluster Right-Sizing

Selecteer de juiste cluster grootte gebaseerd op workload requirements:

Cluster Configuratie

# Optimized cluster configuration
{
  "num_workers": 4,
  "cluster_name": "optimized-etl-cluster",
  "spark_version": "13.3.x-scala2.12",
  "node_type_id": "Standard_L8s_v2",  # Memory optimized
  "driver_node_type_id": "Standard_L4s_v2",
  "spark_conf": {
    "spark.sql.adaptive.enabled": "true",
    "spark.sql.adaptive.coalescePartitions.enabled": "true",
    "spark.sql.adaptive.skew.enabled": "true"
  },
  "autoscale": {
    "min_workers": 2,
    "max_workers": 10
  }
}

Stap 2: Auto-Scaling Configuratie

Implementeer optimale auto-scaling voor variabele workloads:

Auto-Scaling Policy

# Optimized auto-scaling configuration
{
  "autoscale": {
    "min_workers": 2,
    "max_workers": 20,
    "target_utilization": 70,  # Scale down at 70% utilization
    "scale_up_by": 2,          # Add 2 nodes at a time
    "scale_down_by": 1         # Remove 1 node at a time
  },
  "aws_attributes": {
    "availability": "SPOT_WITH_FALLBACK",  # 80% cost savings
    "zone_id": "auto",
    "spot_bid_price_percent": 100
  }
}

Delta Lake Optimization

Expert Tip: Z-Ordering

Gebruik Z-Ordering voor high-cardinality columns die vaak in WHERE clauses worden gebruikt. Dit verbetert data skipping significant.

Stap 1: Optimaliseer Data Layout

Implementeer partitionering en Z-ordering voor betere query performance:

Delta Lake Optimalisatie

-- Create optimized Delta table
CREATE TABLE sales_optimized (
  date DATE,
  product_id INT,
  customer_id INT,
  amount DECIMAL(10,2),
  region STRING
)
USING DELTA
PARTITIONED BY (date)  -- Partition by date for time-based queries
LOCATION 's3://bucket/sales_optimized/';

-- Optimize table with Z-Ordering
OPTIMIZE sales_optimized
ZORDER BY (product_id, customer_id, region);

-- Set table properties for automatic optimization
ALTER TABLE sales_optimized SET TBLPROPERTIES (
  'delta.autoOptimize.optimizeWrite' = 'true',
  'delta.autoOptimize.autoCompact' = 'true',
  'delta.deletedFileRetentionDuration' = 'interval 7 days'
);

Stap 2: Data Maintenance

Implementeer regelmatige maintenance voor optimale performance:

Maintenance Script

-- Weekly maintenance job
-- Optimize all tables in the database
OPTIMIZE sales_fact ZORDER BY (product_id, date_id);
OPTIMIZE customer_dim ZORDER BY (customer_id, region);
OPTIMIZE product_dim ZORDER BY (category, brand);

-- Clean up old files
VACUUM sales_fact RETAIN 168 HOURS;  -- Keep 7 days of history
VACUUM customer_dim RETAIN 720 HOURS; -- Keep 30 days of history

-- Analyze tables for better query planning
ANALYZE TABLE sales_fact COMPUTE STATISTICS FOR ALL COLUMNS;
ANALYZE TABLE customer_dim COMPUTE STATISTICS FOR ALL COLUMNS;

Query Optimization

Slow Query

SELECT * 
FROM sales s
JOIN products p ON s.product_id = p.id
JOIN customers c ON s.customer_id = c.id
WHERE s.date BETWEEN '2024-01-01' AND '2024-12-31'
AND p.category = 'Electronics'
AND c.region = 'Europe';

Execution Time: 45 seconden

Data Scanned: 15 GB

Optimized Query

SELECT s.date, s.amount, p.name, c.name
FROM sales s
JOIN products p ON s.product_id = p.id
JOIN customers c ON s.customer_id = c.id
WHERE s.date BETWEEN '2024-01-01' AND '2024-12-31'
AND p.category = 'Electronics'
AND c.region = 'Europe';

Execution Time: 8 seconden

Best Practices & Advanced Tips

Aanbevolen Praktijken

  • Use Photon Engine: Schakel over naar Photon voor betere CPU performance
  • Predicate Pushdown: Zorg dat filters zo vroeg mogelijk worden toegepast
  • Avoid SELECT *: Specificeer alleen benodigde columns
  • Cache Strategically: Cache alleen vaak gebruikte datasets
  • Monitor Continuously: Gebruik Databricks monitoring tools
  • Use Delta Lake: Gebruik Delta tables voor ACID transactions en optimalisatie
