Background

This guide will take you through compiling and running the gora-benchmark module on a target database.

Prerequisite

Install and setup the required database to test. Currently, the benchmark is tested on
1. MongoDB
2. HBase
3. CouchDB.
Install maven

Edit the gora.properties file located at src/main/resources/gora.properties and set configurations accordingly.
a. To test MongoDB set gora.datastore.default=org.apache.gora.mongodb.store.MongoStore
b. To test HBase set gora.datastore.default=org.apache.gora.hbase.store.HBaseStore
c. To test CouchDB set gora.datastore.default=org.apache.gora.couchdb.store.CouchDBStore
As of writing this guide, the YCSB project does not publish its jars in maven central. The simplest way to solve this problem is to do a local maven install. First download YCSB source and execute mvn clean install in the root directory. This may take some time to complete. You can add the -DskipTests switch to skip all test.
From the module directory i.e. gora-benchmark, run mvn clean install
Now run the benchmark using the following command
Load the database
./bin/gora-bench.sh load -threads 15 -s -p fieldcount=20 -p recordcount=1000 -p operationcount=1000 -P workloads/workloada
Run the workload
./bin/gora-bench.sh run -threads 15 -s -p readallfields=true -p measurementtype=timeseries -p timeseries.granularity=2000 -p operationcount=1000 -P workloads/workloadb
