The Yahoo Cloud Serving Benchmark (YCSB) project is the industry standard for eval-
uation of various cloud data stores and key-value data stores using various workloads
in parallel execution. It was released by Yahoo's research labs in 2010 and is hosted at
YCSB is totally decoupled and extensible to add any new datastore-specific client.
Configuring and running YCSB is fairly easy. In this recipe we will discuss config-
uring the YCSB framework with Cassandra.
1.
First, you can build the jar from the source itself or download the tar-
ball from
2.
Extract the tarball and change the directory:
cd ycsb-0.1.4
3.
By default YCSB would insert data into the
usertable
keyspace
and in the table named
data
. So run the following command from
Cassandra-cli to create data definitions:
create keyspace usertable;
use usertable;
create column family data;
4.
Next create a property file (e.g.,
Cassandra-yc-
sb.properties
) with the following properties:
hosts=localhost
port=9160
fieldcount=4
threads=9
recordcount=1000
operationcount=1000
workload=com.yahoo.ycsb.workloads.CoreWorkload
readallfields=true
readproportion=0.5
updateproportion=0.5
