PERFORMANCE_TEST_HOWTO.MD

How to run the COPPER performance test

1. Checkout COPPER

    git clone https://github.com/copper-engine/copper-engine.git copper
    cd copper
   

2. Build the performance test jarfile

    gradlew :projects:copper-performance-test:jar
   

3. Prepare the database

• Oracle, MySQL, Postgres: create the database, user and schema - see https://github.com/copper-engine/copper-engine/tree/master/projects/copper-coreengine/src/main/database for the correspnding SQL files
• H2, DerbyDB: The database schema is created by COPPER performance test during startup.
• Apache Cassandra: create a new keyspace, or use an existing one. The database schema is created by COPPER performance test during startup.

4. See usage of the performance test

    cd projects/copper-performance-test/build/libs/
    java -jar copper-performance-test.jar
   

5. start the test as described in the usage, e.g. to start the latency performance test using an embedded H2 database:

    java -Dds.jdbcURL="jdbc:h2:mem:copperPerfTestH2DB;MVCC=TRUE" -Dds.driverClass=org.h2.Driver -jar copper-performance-test.jar latency
