Benchmarks

Use the Aerospike Go client benchmark tool to generate load on an Aerospike cluster and calculate performance metrics. The benchmark tool is an actual application that you can use to test your cluster, not a simplified example. The benchmark tool checks end-to-end latency and optimizes system performance.

The benchmark tool allows you to:

  • Read and write data to the database at a particular read/write ratio.
  • Change the number of client goroutines to simulate client concurrency.
  • Look at latency distribution from the client side.

Build

To build the Aerospike Go client benchmark tool:

Terminal window
go get github.com/aerospike/aerospike-client-go
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/aerospike/aerospike-client-go/tools/benchmark
go build .

Run

To start the default load:

Terminal window
go run benchmark.go

Benchmark Examples

These examples run typical benchmarks.

Example 1

  • Connect to localhost:3000 using namespace test.
  • Use 10 million keys and 50 character string values.
  • Read 10% and write 90% of the time using 64 concurrent goroutines.
Terminal window
./benchmark -h 127.0.0.1 -p 3000 -n test -k 10000000 -o S:50 -w RU,10 -c 64

Example 2

  • Connect to localhost:3000 using namespace test.
  • Use 1 million keys and 1400 character string values using a single bin.
  • Read 80% and write 20% of the time using 32 concurrent goroutines.
  • Timeout after 50ms for reads and writes.
Terminal window
./benchmark -h 127.0.0.1 -p 3000 -n test -k 1000000 -o S:1400 -w RU,80 -T 50 -c 32

Example 3

  • Connect to localhost:3000 using namespace test.
  • Use 10 million keys and 2000 character string values.
  • Read 50% and write 50%
  • Print latency information.
Terminal window
./benchmark -h 127.0.0.1 -p 3000 -n test -k 10000000 -o S:2000 -w RU,50 -c 64 -L 5,1
