On Jan 25, 2022 at 5:45 am PDT, some customers experienced read only sheets while opening sheets. The primary issue was that Cell Link Database was experiencing increased CPU load and high query latency due to a large number of concurrent duplicate queries running against it for a specific sheet. When the Cell Link Database experiences high query latency, the sheets are put into read only mode for a degraded experience with a message that tells the customers to refresh the sheet instead of not loading the sheet at all.
We disabled circular reference checks for the specific sheet which was causing the large number of concurrent duplicate queries to run. Cell Link Database latency was reduced as a result of this change and cell link updates during sheet load started processing normally and the issue was resolved on Jan 25, 2022 at 9:29 am PDT.
In order to prevent this issue from occurring again, cell link service will implement the below changes:
- Optimize the circular reference check algorithm and prevent it from causing a large number of concurrent duplicate queries to run against the Cell Link Database.
