YCSB/arangodb

Quick Start

This section describes how to run YCSB on ArangoDB.

1. Start ArangoDB

See https://docs.arangodb.com/Installing/index.html

2. Install Java and Maven

Go to http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/java/javase/downloads/index.html

and get the url to download the rpm into your server. For example:

wget http://download.oracle.com/otn-pub/java/jdk/7u40-b43/jdk-7u40-linux-x64.rpm?AuthParam=11232426132 -o jdk-7u40-linux-x64.rpm
rpm -Uvh jdk-7u40-linux-x64.rpm

Or install via yum/apt-get

sudo yum install java-devel

Download MVN from http://maven.apache.org/download.cgi

wget http://ftp.heanet.ie/mirrors/www.apache.org/dist/maven/maven-3/3.1.1/binaries/apache-maven-3.1.1-bin.tar.gz
sudo tar xzf apache-maven-*-bin.tar.gz -C /usr/local
cd /usr/local
sudo ln -s apache-maven-* maven
sudo vi /etc/profile.d/maven.sh

Add the following to maven.sh

export M2_HOME=/usr/local/maven
export PATH=${M2_HOME}/bin:${PATH}

Reload bash and test mvn

bash
mvn -version

3. Set Up YCSB

Clone this YCSB source code:

git clone https://github.com/brianfrankcooper/YCSB.git

4. Run YCSB

Now you are ready to run! First, drop the existing collection: "usertable" under database "ycsb":

db._collection("usertable").drop()

Then, load the data:

./bin/ycsb load arangodb -s -P workloads/workloada -p arangodb.ip=xxx -p arangodb.port=xxx

Then, run the workload:

./bin/ycsb run arangodb -s -P workloads/workloada -p arangodb.ip=xxx -p arangodb.port=xxx

See the next section for the list of configuration parameters for ArangoDB.

5. Run against ArangoDB 3.0 and previews versions

Running YCSB on ArangoDB in version 3.0 or previews versions requires to use HTTP as network protocol. Since VST (VelcoyStream) is the default used protocol one have to set the configuration parameter arangodb.protocol to HTTP_JSON. For more infos take a look into the official ArangoDB Java Driver Docs.
