sortGraph=false => too slow, sortGraph=true => java.lang.OutOfMemoryError

Hi,

we’re trying to get Graphhopper running with road data (nodes: 1 687 333, edges: 1 037 892, according to graphhopper). We use the postgres adapter (graphhopper/reader-postgis/src at postgis-4.0 · mbasa/graphhopper · GitHub) and a simple (default) config:

graphhopper:

profiles:
- name: car
vehicle: car
weighting: fastest

profiles_ch:
- profile: car

profiles_lm:
prepare.min_network_size: 200
routing.non_ch.max_waypoint_distance: 1000000
graph.dataaccess: RAM_STORE

The problem seems to be memory/performance related.

  • When sortGraph=false and increasing the following parameters:
    private int preciseIndexResolution = 300*100; // 300
    private int maxRegionSearch = 4*40; // 4
    // for prepare
    private int minNetworkSize = 200; // original: 200

We reach to a point where LocationIndexTree#prepareInMemConstructionIndex is executed.
The problem however is that this is painfully slow: it takes about 1second for 10 random edge iterations. It seems inMem.addToAllTilesOnLine in this loop (graphhopper/core/src/main/java/com/graphhopper/storage/index/LocationIndexTree.java at 27b9ad3edf8c2e8c07c946f6293b1c265b3aa6b4 · graphhopper/graphhopper · GitHub) is slow:

loop for 44points took=1614ms
loop for 9points took=487ms
loop for 28points took=1263ms
loop for 1points took=0ms
loop for 21points took=952ms

Since we have 1mil+ edges this is not a feasible approach. We also needed to increase these parameters because otherwise we get an error of the class SpatialKeyAlgo: allBits is too big for this implementation: 52.

  • When sortGraph=true, we get an java.lang.OutOfMemoryError when IndexStructureInfo.create is executed. We assumed that sorting the graph might speedup, but are unable to get it working wit 8GB ram.

We are not sure how this sorting impacts Graphhopper, but our main problem is that we cannot get past the index creation for our dataset because it is very slow.

Below is a partial log output. Anyone knows how to optimise or what can be done to get it working?

You are using a fork and should probably ask the maintainer there. Also it is a quite old version of GH and additionally you changed many core parameters. I wouldn’t change so many things at once. Start without changes and see when it stops working.

And especially the index parameters shouldn’t be changed by such a large factor (why not use the defaults?):

private int preciseIndexResolution = 300*100; // 300
private int maxRegionSearch = 4*40; // 4

Also this setting does not make sense:

-Xmx15096m -Xmx8096m

Hi @karussell,

thanks for the reply,
however i’m not sure why you say it is and old version as it is based on the latest release GraphHopper 4.0? What is the latest version instead?

Also, if I don’t change the parameters we get the following error:
SpatialKeyAlgo : allBits is too big for this implementation: 52 .

I actually figured out that the runs become very fast (like 2mins for all edges) once I increase the precision:
private int preciseIndexResolution = 300*100000;
and keep the original
private int maxRegionSearch = 4;

now I am able to do mapmatching, but the matching fails

Any pointers on how to debug this? I guess it doesn’t find an edge for that point?

Then something fundamentally is wrong and you should fix this instead of the tweaks. Probably some too big boundaries are used or a different coordinate system. You do not get this error in the original code GitHub - graphhopper/graphhopper: Open source routing engine for OpenStreetMap. Use it as Java library or standalone web server.

@karussell Thanks, i’ll try to figure out what’s wrong. Maybe the data is not loaded correctly. Otherwise I guess it’s better to abandon this way as it’s not officially supported and try the low-level api of graphhopper directly.

You can also reach out to the maintainers. Seems to be still actively maintained.

You can even ping them here I guess @mbasa :slight_smile:

We figured it out. Some pointers in case anyone reaches this post:

make sure that:

  • the geometry is in WGS84
  • the geometry is simplified enough + doesn’t have too many decimal places
