Benchmarking
Aerospike provides the following benchmark applications:
- Java Benchmark Application
- C Benchmark Application
- C# Benchmark Application
- Node.js Benchmark Application
The following instructions are for the Java benchmark application. This application generates load on the cluster and calculates performance metrics for this Java client. The benchmark application is normally installed into the benchmarks folder during the SDK installation. The benchmark program is an actual application that you can use to test your cluster – the application is not a simplified example. The benchmark application is useful for checking end-to-end latency and optimizing performance in your system.
With the benchmark tool, you can:
- Read and write data into the database at a particular read/write ratio.
- Change the number of client threads to simulate client concurrency.
- Look at latency distribution from the client side.
Install the Java client, including the benchmark utility
There are several paths to installing the Java client.
Build
cd benchmarks
mvn package
Run
The following command will start the default load:
./run_benchmarks
For further information, see the Java Client's benchmark tool.
Check your cluster status with asadm
The asadm
tool presents server/cluster statistics in an easy-to-read format. The info
command provides information about your cluster, including node, namespace, and object information. Complete information on asadm
can be found in the Tools documentation.
Example
The following example demonstrates asadm
usage on a one node cluster:
$ asadm -h 127.0.0.1 -p 3000
