Yardstick Ignite Benchmarks

Yardstick Ignite is a set of Ignite Grid benchmarks written on top of Yardstick framework.

Yardstick Framework

Visit Yardstick Repository for detailed information on how to run Yardstick benchmarks and how to generate graphs.

The documentation below describes configuration parameters in addition to standard Yardstick parameters.

Installation

1. Create a local clone of Ignite repository
2. Run mvn package command for Yardstick Ignite POM

Provided Benchmarks

The following benchmarks are provided:

1. GetBenchmark - benchmarks atomic distributed cache get operation
2. PutBenchmark - benchmarks atomic distributed cache put operation
3. PutGetBenchmark - benchmarks atomic distributed cache put and get operations together
4. PutTxBenchmark - benchmarks transactional distributed cache put operation
5. PutGetTxBenchmark - benchmarks transactional distributed cache put and get operations together
6. SqlQueryBenchmark - benchmarks distributed SQL query over cached data
7. SqlQueryJoinBenchmark - benchmarks distributed SQL query with a Join over cached data
8. SqlQueryPutBenchmark - benchmarks distributed SQL query with simultaneous cache updates

Writing Ignite Benchmarks

All benchmarks extend AbstractBenchmark class. A new benchmark should also extend this abstract class and implement test method. This is the method that is actually benchmarked.

Running Ignite Benchmarks

Before running Ignite benchmarks, run mvn package command. This command will compile the project and also will unpack scripts from yardstick-resources.zip file to bin directory.

Properties And Command Line Arguments

Note that this section only describes configuration parameters specific to Ignite benchmarks, and not for Yardstick framework. To run Ignite benchmarks and generate graphs, you will need to run them using Yardstick framework scripts in bin folder.

Refer to Yardstick Documentation for common Yardstick properties and command line arguments for running Yardstick scripts.

The following Ignite benchmark properties can be defined in the benchmark configuration:

• -nn <num> or --nodeNumber <num> - Number of nodes (automatically set in benchmark.properties), used to wait for the specified number of nodes to start
• -b <num> or --backups <num> - Number of backups for every key
• -cfg <path> or --Config <path> - Path to Ignite configuration file
• -sm <mode> or -syncMode <mode> - Synchronization mode (defined in CacheWriteSynchronizationMode)
• -cl or --client - Client flag
• -nc or --nearCache - Near cache flag
• -wom <mode> or --writeOrderMode <mode> - Write order mode for ATOMIC caches (defined in CacheAtomicWriteOrderMode)
• -txc <value> or --txConcurrency <value> - Cache transaction concurrency control, either OPTIMISTIC or PESSIMISTIC (defined in CacheTxConcurrency)
• -txi <value> or --txIsolation <value> - Cache transaction isolation (defined in CacheTxIsolation)
• -ot or --offheapTiered - Flag indicating whether tiered off-heap mode is on
• -ov or --offheapValuesOnly - Flag indicating whether off-heap mode is on and only cache values are stored off-heap
• -rtp <num> or --restPort <num> - REST TCP port, indicates that a Ignite node is ready to process Ignite Clients
• -rth <host> or --restHost <host> - REST TCP host
• -ss or --syncSend - Flag indicating whether synchronous send is used in TcpCommunicationSpi
• -r <num> or --range - Range of keys that are randomly generated for cache operations

For example if we need to run 2 IgniteNode servers on localhost with PutBenchmark benchmark on localhost, with number of backups set to 1, synchronization mode set to PRIMARY_SYNC, then the following configuration should be specified in benchmark.properties file:

SERVER_HOSTS=localhost,localhost
    
# Note that -dn and -sn, which stand for data node and server node, are 
# native Yardstick parameters and are documented in Yardstick framework.
CONFIGS="-b 1 -sm PRIMARY_SYNC -dn PutBenchmark -sn IgniteNode"
