ssbench

A benchmarking suite for the OpenStack Swift object storage system.

The ssbench suite can run benchmark "scenarios" against an OpenStack Swift cluster, saving statistics about the run to a file. It can then generate a report from the saved statstics. By default, a report will be generated to STDOUT immediately following a benchmark run in addition to saving the results to a file.

Coordination between the ssbench-master and one or more ssbench-worker processes is managed through a Beanstalkd queue.

Scenarios

A "scenario" (sometimes called a "CRUD scenario") is a JSON file defining a benchmark run. Specifically, it defines:

  • A name for the scenario (an arbitrary string)
  • A set of "object size" classes. Each class has a name, a minimum object size and a maximum object size. Objects used within an object size class will have a size (in bytes) chosen at random uniformly between the minimum and maximum sizes.
  • A count of initial files per size class. Each size class can have zero or more objects uploaded prior to the benchmark run itself. The proportion of initial files also defines the probability distribution of object sizes during the benchmark run itself.
  • A count of operations to perform during the benchmark run. An operation is either a CREATE, READ, UPDATE, or DELETE of an object.
  • A "CRUD profile" which determines the distribution of each kind of operation. For instance, [3, 4, 2, 2] would mean 27% CREATE, 36% READ, 18% UPDATE, and 18% DELETE.
  • A user_count which determines the maxiumum client concurrency during the benchmark run. The user is responsible for ensuring there are enough workers running to support the scenario's defined user_count. (Each ssbench-worker process uses eventlet to achive very efficeint concurrency for the benchmark client requests.)

ssbench comes with a few canned scenarios, but users are encouraged to experiment and define their own.

Here is an example JSON scenario file:

{
  "name": "Small test scenario",
  "sizes": [{
    "name": "tiny",
    "size_min": 4096,
    "size_max": 65536
  }, {
    "name": "small",
    "size_min": 100000,
    "size_max": 200000
  }],
  "initial_files": {
    "tiny": 100,
    "small": 10
  },
  "operation_count": 500,
  "crud_profile": [3, 4, 2, 2],
  "user_count": 7
}

Installation

Install this module (ssbench) via pip. You will also need Beanstalkd and an OpenStack Swift cluster to benchmark.

Usage

The ssbench-worker script:

$ ssbench-worker --help
usage: ssbench-worker [-h] [--qhost QHOST] [--qport QPORT] [-v]
                      [--retries RETRIES]
                      worker_id

Benchmark your Swift installation

positional arguments:
  worker_id          An integer ID number; must be unique among all workers

Basic usage of ssbench-master (requires one of run-scenario to actually run a benchmark scenario, or report-scenario to report on an existing scenario result data file:

usage: ssbench-master [-h] [--qhost QHOST] [--qport QPORT] [-v]

                        *either* the -A, -U, and -K options, or the -S and -T
                        options.
    report-scenario     Generate a report from saved scenario statistics

optional arguments:

                        second histogram data (default: None)

Example Run

First make sure beanstalkd is running. Note that you may need to ensure its maximum file descriptor limit is raised, which may require root privileges and a more complicated invocation than the simple example below:

$ beanstalkd -l 127.0.0.1 &

Then, start one or more ssbench-worker processes (each process is currently hard-coded to a maximum eventlet-based concurrency of 256):

$ ssbench-worker 1 &
$ ssbench-worker 2 &

Finally, run one ssbench-master process which will manage and coordinate the benchmark run:

$ ssbench-master run-scenario -f scenarios/very_small.scenario -c 200 -u 4 -S http://192.168.22.100/v1/AUTH_dev -T AUTH_tkfc57b0bb67f84afbb054fb8db2d034d7
