Rendering tiles for zoom levels from 0 to 18.

This is the render_list output for levels 14, 15, and 16:

Generally rendering of the tiles is fast. When rendering tiles for zoom level 17, the process slows down to taking ~70 seconds per tile. (v.s. 1.1, 0.8, 0.7 second per tile in on zoom levels 14, 15, 16).

What the is reason for the incredible performance difference? What is the data added to the tiles on zoom level 17 that causes this type of slowdown? A quick look showed that house numbers are not displayed in zoom level 16, while they are in zoom level 17.

Is there anything that can be done to mitigate this performance gap?

Thanks! Jan

You provide next to no useful information about your database set-up, the area which you are trying to render, or why you are appear to be rendering all tiles at z17. By far and away the easiest way to resolve this is to log SQL statements under PostgreSQL, and then have a look at individual queries by seeing which ones are bottlenecks and looking at their plans. You may have data volume issues, missing indexes or any one of a number of other issues. Machine configuration, which program you are running etc are all necessary information if you wish to have useful commentary on your issue. I

I figured I could always add more 'specifics' as required. The issue might be something obvious I as a beginning OSM user am not aware of.

Used the instructions here https://switch2osm.org/serving-tiles/manually-building-a-tile-server-18-04-lts/ to setup a server.

Imported http://download.geofabrik.de/europe-latest.osm.pbf instead of the example data.

The indexes according to this suggestion were added: https://github.com/gravitystorm/openstreetmap-carto/blob/master/indexes.sql

Have started to look at PostgreSQL logging of the SQL statements and rendering code as the problem could be in either or both.

Generally in my experience with an increasing level, alike the zoom level in render_list (*4), with the progression in statistics as shown, things do not change a factor 140 between levels, unless something is significantly different. This is why the question if zoom level 17+ rendering includes more or particular data.

Did some research...

Turns out there is a query related to addr:housenumber and addr:housename that changes between zoom level 16 and 17 rendering.

In zoom level 17 rendering the query is as follows:

SELECT ST_AsBinary("way") AS geom,"addr_housename","addr_housenumber","addr_unit" FROM (SELECT ST_PointOnSurface(way) AS way, "addr:housenumber" AS addr_housenumber, "addr:housename" AS addr_housename, tags->'addr:unit' AS addr_unit, way_area/NULLIF(POW(4265.460.0010.28,2),0) AS way_pixels FROM planet_osm_polygon WHERE way && ST_SetSRID('BOX3D(511057.9711149631 6775225.31314509,513809.7041332314 6777977.046163358)'::box3d, 3857) AND (("addr:housenumber" IS NOT NULL) OR ("addr:housename" IS NOT NULL) OR ((tags->'addr:unit') IS NOT NULL)) AND building IS NOT NULL UNION ALL SELECT way, "addr:housenumber" AS addr_housenumber, "addr:housename" AS addr_housename, tags->'addr:unit' AS addr_unit, NULL AS way_pixels FROM planet_osm_point WHERE way && ST_SetSRID('BOX3D(511057.9711149631 6775225.31314509,513809.7041332314 6777977.046163358)'::box3d, 3857) AND ("addr:housenumber" IS NOT NULL) OR ("addr:housename" IS NOT NULL) OR ((tags->'addr:unit') IS NOT NULL) ORDER BY way_pixels DESC NULLS LAST ) AS addresses

In zoom level 16 the second part of the UNION ALL has "LIMIT 0", which results in that part being ignored by SQL.

In zoom level 17 the second part is executed (as there is no LIMIT 0), but a close look at the WHERE clause reveals it is slightly different from the WHERE clause in the first part of the UNION ALL... A "(" and ")" is missing...

WHERE way && ST_SetSRID('BOX3D(511057.9711149631 6775225.31314509,513809.7041332314 6777977.046163358)'::box3d, 3857) AND (("addr:housenumber" IS NOT NULL) OR ("addr:housename" IS NOT NULL) OR ((tags->'addr:unit') IS NOT NULL))

v.s.

WHERE way && ST_SetSRID('BOX3D(511057.9711149631 6775225.31314509,513809.7041332314 6777977.046163358)'::box3d, 3857) AND ("addr:housenumber" IS NOT NULL) OR ("addr:housename" IS NOT NULL) OR ((tags->'addr:unit') IS NOT NULL)

The first ( after the AND is missing and the second ) after the NULL is missing.

This changes this QUERY from a couple of milliseconds into a query to 20+ seconds and an enormous result set.

Now the question is... Which code changes this???
