etcd/tools/rw-heatmaps

etcd/tools/rw-heatmaps is the mixed read/write performance evaluation tool for etcd clusters.

Installation

Install the tool by running the following command from the etcd source directory.

  $ go install -v ./tools/rw-heatmaps

The installation will place executables in the $GOPATH/bin. If $GOPATH environment variable is not set, the tool will be installed into the $HOME/go/bin. You can also find out the installed location by running the following command from the etcd source directory. Make sure that $PATH is set accordingly in your environment.

  $ go list -f "{{.Target}}" ./tools/rw-heatmaps

Alternatively, instead of installing the tool, you can use it by simply running the following command from the etcd source directory.

  $ go run ./tools/rw-heatmaps

Execute

Benchmark

To get a mixed read/write performance evaluation result:

  # run with default configurations and specify the working directory
  $ ./rw-benchmark.sh -w ${WORKING_DIR}

rw-benchmark.sh will automatically use the etcd binary compiled under etcd/bin/ directory.

Note: the result CSV file will be saved to current working directory. The working directory is where etcd database is saved. The working directory is designed for scenarios where a different mounted disk is preferred.

Plot Graphs

To generate two images (read and write) based on the benchmark result CSV file:

  # to generate a pair of read & write images from one data csv file
  $ rw-heatmaps ${CSV_FILE} -t ${IMAGE_TITLE} -o ${OUTPUT_IMAGE_NAME}

To generate two images (read and write) showing the performance difference from two result CSV files:

  # to generate a pair of read & write images from one data csv file
  $ rw-heatmaps ${CSV_FILE1} ${CSV_FILE2} -t ${IMAGE_TITLE} -o ${OUTPUT_IMAGE_NAME}

To see the available options use the --help option.

  $ rw-heatmaps --help
