Apache Geode Benchmarks

This project contains a benchmarking framework and benchmarks for Apache Geode. It is based on the yardstick framework, but with a java based test configuration and test execution framework.

These benchmarks are under development.

Running the benchmarks

The benchmarks require machines with passwordless ssh enabled in order to run.

To run all benchmarks, run the benchmark task and pass in a list of hosts.

For example:

./gradlew benchmark -Phosts=localhost,localhost,localhost,localhost -PoutputDir=/tmp/results

Running in google cloud

This project includes some scripts to automate running benchmarks in google cloud. See the README.md in the infrastructure/google_cloud directory.

Running in aws

This project includes some scripts to automate running benchmarks in AWS. See the README.md in the infrastructure/aws directory.

Project structure

The project is divided into two modules

• harness - Contains test framework code for running benchmarks. Does not depend on Apache Geode.
• geode-benchmarks - Individual benchmarks of Apache Geode.

Sample benchmark

Benchmarks are defined in a declarative configuration classes. Each configuration class is run as a junit test which calls the configure method and passes it to the TestRunner, which executes the test on the provided TEST_HOSTS.

Benchmarks are composed of before tasks, after tasks, and workload tasks. The before and after tasks are run once. Workload tasks are run repeatedly and their execution time is measured and reported by the yardstick framework.

/**
* Benchmark configuration class, which defines the topology of the test and
* the initialization tasks and workload tasks for the test.
*/
public class PartitionedPutBenchmark implements PerformanceTest {

  @Test
  public void run() throws Exception {
    TestRunners.defaultRunner().runTest(this::configure);

  * Declare the configuration of the test by calling methods
  * on TestConfig.
  */
  public TestConfig configure() {
    TestConfig testConfig = new TestConfig();
    int locatorPort = 10334;

    //This test has three roles, a geode locator, server, and client
    config.role("locator", 1);
    config.role("server", 2);
    config.role("client", 1);
    
    //Define how the locator,server and client are initialized
    config.before(new StartLocator(locatorPort), "locator");
    config.before(new StartServer(locatorPort), "server");
    config.before(new StartClient(locatorPort), "client");
    config.before(new CreatePartitionedRegion(), "server");
    config.before(new CreateClientProxyRegion(), "client");
    //Define the benchmarked workload, which runs in a client
    config.workload(new PutTask());
    
    return config;
  }
}
