User:Joal/WDQS Queries Analysis

From Wikitech

Analysis of WDQS queries on public cluster. The charts and data have been computed on Jupyter notebooks running Spark on the Analytics hadoop cluster, and Google sheets. Processed data is events sourced through the Modern Event Platform. Written in January 2021 over data of November 2020. For a more general analysis of WDQS queries traffic, see User:Joal/WDQS Traffic Analysis.

Important note: The original idea of this analysis was to categorize queries in buckets defining the graph-structure of the queries. For instance, queries with no hop, or query with multiple one-hops from a single node (star-pattern) but not for filter, or star-pattern queries with filtering (sparkly queries)... I have failed to implement this general approach, mostly due to the high variability of ways to express filtering/joining in queries. I have reoriented the analysis toward trying to provide meaningful information over query-structure usage for mostly used structures.

TL;DR: Shared features of top WDQS query-classes

Here is the finding of the detailed analysis of the top 23 query-classes (see below) representing 60% of all requests and 25% of all the time taken to answer the queries. In this paragraph we have made the assumption that the path seen in the query-classes (P31/P279*, P131*, P31*/P279* etc) have been precomputed to single-hop links.

  • 21 query-classes out of 23 use the truthy subgraph only (54% of all requests).
  • 18 query-classes out of 23 are one-hop queries, not counting label extraction as a hop (47% of all requests).
  • 4 query-classes are two-hops queries and 1 three-hops, not counting label extraction again (respectively 8% and 5% of all queries)
  • Among the 17 one-hop query-classes using the truthy subgraph (46% of all requests):
    • 8 have defined Subject and Predicate (none with defined Subject without Predicate, 20% of all requests) - One thing to consider: some queries use functions to filter/refine the data.
    • 6 have defined Predicate and Object (21% of all requests) - Some query-patterns use functions.
    • 2 have defined Object only (5% of all requests)
    • 1 has defined Subject, Predicate and Object, and uses a function over Object (5% of all requests)
  • All the 4 two-hops query-classes have defined Subject, and 2 among them have defined Predicate.
  • The three-hops query-class has defined Subject and Predicate.

Top Queries - raw string + UA (not disclosed)

In this section we look at the queries having happened most, by query-string and user-agent. This analysis is interesting to find queries that are repeated over and over again without a change, whether due to clients repeating queries for real (weird), or monitoring systems querying to check the system (normal).

The first two rows are queries that don't generate results based on data. They only ask the query system if some data exists (and if it answers the query). The related user-agents also tell us that those requests are issued by monitoring systems. The cost in term of computation time for those requests is negligible, but not in term of number of requests! We'll remove those requests from our further analysis.

Other lines (I looked at more than the top 5 but it was not interesting to list it here) show requests that actually compute some results, and that are issued repeatedly. They represent relatively small numbers, both in term of requests number and query-time.

Query-time classes without monitoring queries

more_10s 1104368 27724451084 0.73% 58.28%

It is expected and interesting to notice that the removal of monitoring queries mostly removes ultra-fast queries (less than 10ms).

Top Queries - Operators sequence + variables + UA (not disclosed)

Query processing explanation

In order to get deeper into query analysis, we need a formal representation of the queries. I have used the JENA-ARQ SparQL parser to parse each query and generate abstract algebras. Then the abstract query representations are processed to generate interesting structures:

  • List of SparQL operators used in the query, in processing order (depth-first)
  • Map of variable-names used in the query with their count (named variable-usage below)
  • Map of URIs used in the query with their count
  • Map of literals (values) used in the query with their count

Those structures allow to group similar queries with a high enough degree of confidence: Queries sharing both the same operators-list and variable-names (when non-empty) have a very high probability to also share either URIs and/or literals, and therefore do similar data-computation in term of query-semantic.

Query-classes by Operators-list, variables-usage and user-agent

I analysed top queries using various grouping fields, and the grouping (operators-list, variables-usage, user-agent) provides a high coherence in query-classes. The following table shows the top-100 query-classes, representing 82% of queries made to WDQS on November 2021, for 30% of the total query-time.

The next section contains a detailed analysis of the top 23 query-classes from that list, providing a deeper understanding of the most-used query patterns.

Detailed analysis of query classes

In this section we provide a detailed analysis of the top 23 query-classes from the previous table. They are the query-classes counting more than 1 million queries each, cumulatively representing 60 percent of all queries made to WDQS in November 2020.

Query class 1

Example query:

SELECT ?q
{
    ?q wdt:P31/wdt:P279* wd:Q16521 .
    {
        {
            VALUES ?prop { wdt:P225 wdt:P1420 } . 
            ?q ?prop 'Tradescantia aff. pallida Bradely 24980'
        } UNION {
            ?q skos:altLabel 'Tradescantia aff. pallida Bradely 24980'@en
        }
    } 
}
  • The query searches for an entity being an instance/subclass(wdt:P31/wdt:P279*) of taxon (Q16521), by taxon-name (P225), taxon-synonym (P1420) or altLabel.
  • 8.99% percent of requests for 0.80% of query-time: Queries are efficient, which is good for the most repeated on WDQS.
  • The query pattern reuses always the same properties and items.
  • The query pattern uses the truthy subgraph.
  • Except for the path wdt:P31/wdt:P279*, the query pattern is a one-hop query.
Query class 2

Example query:

SELECT ?q
{
    ?q wdt:P31/wdt:P279* wd:Q16521 .
    {
        {
            VALUES ?prop { wdt:P225 wdt:P1420 } .
            ?q ?prop 'Cloning vector M13plex07'
        } UNION {
            ?q skos:altLabel 'Cloning vector M13plex07'@en
        } UNION {
            ?q skos:altLabel 'Cloning vector var. M13plex07'@en
        }
    }
}
  • This is a variant of the group 1 query, with an additional altLabel search component.
  • 5.99% percent of requests for 1.35% of query-time: Queries are efficient (less than previous group).
  • The query pattern reuses always the same properties and items.
  • The query pattern uses the truthy subgraph.
  • Except for the path wdt:P31/wdt:P279*, the query pattern is a one-hop query.
Query class 3

Example query:

SELECT DISTINCT ?q
{
    VALUES ?q { wd:Q95665608 } .
    ?q wdt:P569 ?born ; wdt:P570 ?died.
    FILTER ( year(?born)=1860).
    FILTER ( year(?died)=1884 )
}
  • This query validates that some defined entities (here Q95665608, there could multiple values) have truthy properties born (P569) and died (P570) set at given years.
  • 5.22% percent of requests for 0.76% of query-time: Queries are efficient.
  • The query pattern reuses always the truthy born (P569) and died (P570) properties, as well as the year function for both values.
  • The query pattern uses the truthy subgraph.
  • The query pattern is a multi-value one-hop query (one-hop pattern over multiple defined items)
Query class 4

Example query:

SELECT
  ?company
  ?companyLabel ?countryLabel ?ownerOf ?industryLabel ?hqLabel
  ?hqPostalCode ?hqStreet ?hqStreetDep ?hqlon ?hqlat ?extckr
  ?legalFormLabel ?parent ?ownedBy

  • This query extracts company-information (a lot!) from a predefined list of entities (here Q911347,Q1472987 etc).
  • 5.12% percent of requests for 7.12% of query-time: Those queries take more time than the average query and repeated a lot.
  • The properties and variables used to extract related information are the same across the query-class.
  • The query pattern uses mostly the truthy subgraph, but also uses statement in two places (for Head-quarter location and for stock-exchange on which the company is traded).
  • The query pattern is a multi-value one-hop query (one-hop pattern over multiple defined items) except for head-quarter and stock-exchange information.
