A collection of simple performance metrics for Apache Thrift.
Benchmarks:
- NULL RPC latency
- Goodput vs. message size
- Goodput vs. multiple clients/servers
- Goodput vs. RPC window
- Paxos throughput
Go to the benchmark you want to in the benchmarks directory. The python files will be in the py directory, the C++ ones in the cpp directory.
You can run make to recompile the thrift definitions if you have changed them.
You can run make test-py or make test-cpp to see the test run.
Example:
$ cd benchmarks/null
$ make test-py
thrift --out py --gen py null.thrift
thrift --out cpp --gen cpp null.thrift
./run_py.sh

Caveat Emptor: Currently, this is only functioning properly for null. Yes, really. Sorry about that.
Go to the benchmarks/paxos directory. Run run.py. This is a simple script that fires off a bunch of accepter/learner servers and then runs the proposer client. Note that this script has a race condition baked into it. If the program fails, it's likely that you've triggered it. Re-run the script and hope harder. If it fails continuously, you can increase the sleep delay.
