Yardstick GridGain Benchmarks

Yardstick GridGain is a set of GridGain Data 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 Yardstick GridGain repository
2. Import Yardstick GridGain POM file into your project
3. Run mvn package command

Provided Benchmarks

The following benchmarks are provided:

1. GridGainGetBenchmark - benchmarks atomic distributed cache get operation
2. GridGainPutBenchmark - benchmarks atomic distributed cache put operation
3. GridGainPutGetBenchmark - benchmarks atomic distributed cache put and get operations together
4. GridGainPutTxBenchmark - benchmarks transactional distributed cache put operation
5. GridGainPutGetTxBenchmark - benchmarks transactional distributed cache put and get operations together
6. GridGainSqlQueryBenchmark - benchmarks distributed SQL query over cached data
7. GridGainSqlQueryJoinBenchmark - benchmarks distributed SQL query with a Join over cached data
8. GridGainSqlQueryPutBenchmark - benchmarks distributed SQL query with simultaneous cache updates

Writing GridGain Benchmarks

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

Running GridGain Benchmarks

Before running GridGain 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 GridGain benchmarks, and not for Yardstick framework. To run GridGain 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 GridGain 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
• -ggcfg <path> or --ggConfig <path> - Path to GridGain configuration file
• -sm <mode> or -syncMode <mode> - GridGain synchronization mode (defined in GridCacheWriteSynchronizationMode)
• -dm <mode> or --distroMode <mode> - GridGain distribution mode (defined in GridCacheDistributionMode)
• -wom <mode> or --writeOrderMode <mode> - GridGain write order mode for ATOMIC caches (defined in GridCacheAtomicWriteOrderMode)
• -txc <value> or --txConcurrency <value> - GridGain cache transaction concurrency control, either OPTIMISTIC or PESSIMISTIC (defined in GridCacheTxConcurrency)
• -txi <value> or --txIsolation <value> - GridGain cache transaction isolation (defined in GridCacheTxIsolation)
• -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 GridGain node is ready to process GridGain Clients
• -rth <host> or --restHost <host> - REST TCP host
• -ss or --syncSend - Flag indicating whether synchronous send is used in GridTcpCommunicationSpi
• -r <num> or --range - Range of keys that are randomly generated for cache operations

For example if we need to run 2 GridGainNode servers on localhost with GridGainPutBenchmark 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 GridGainPutBenchmark -sn GridGainNode"
