PerL

The SBK (Storage Benchmark Kit) is an open source software framework for the performance benchmarking of any storage system. If you are curious to measure the maximum throughput performance of your storage device/system, then SBK is the right software for you. The SBK itself is a very high-performance benchmark tool/framework. It massively writes the data to the storage system and reads the data from the storage system. The SBK supports multi writers and readers and also the End to End latency benchmarking. The latency quartiles and percentiles are calculated for complete data written/read without any sampling; hence the percentiles are 100% accurate.

SBK can be deployed in distributed nodes using applications SBM, SBK-GEM and SBK-GEM-YAL. SBK can be executed on the multiple nodes and performance results can be aggregated into one master node called SBM (Storage Benchmark Monitor).

SBK Eco System

The design principle of SBK is the Performance Benchmarking of 'Any Storage System' with 'Any Type of data payload' and 'Any Time Stamp', because, the SBK is not specific to particular type of storage system, it can be used for performance benchmarking of any storage system, let it be file system, databases , any distributed storage systems or message queues by adding SBK driver which specifies the IO operations of storage system. you can find the list of supported drivers below. The SBK supports a variety of payloads too, such as byte array, byte buffer, string, and you can add your own payload type. The Latency values can be measured either in milliseconds, microseconds or nanoseconds using SBK.

The SBK is built on PerL (Performance Logger). The PerL provides the foundation APIs for performance benchmarking.

Sliding Latency Coverage (SLC) factors

The SBK yields latency data points in the form of quartiles and percentiles. For the performance analysis, these quartiles and percentile latencies can be combined into two factors : Sliding Latency Coverage 1 (SLC 1) and Sliding Latency Coverage 2 (SLC 2).

The SLC1 indicates the coefficient of dispersion from lower latency percentile to median percentile. This indicates the range between all lower latencies percentiles to median latency and also dispersion from all latency values which are below median latency. The SLC2 indicates the coefficient of dispersion from median latency percentile and all other percentile values to the last (maximum) percentile (99.99th percentile). If you are comparing two or more storage systems which are having similar / approximate median latency percentiles then SLC2 gives which storage system is doing better. Lower SLC2 factor means higher the performance of the system. If you are observing too many variations of SLC 2 factor that means you have an opportunity to improve the stability of the storage system too.

Performance results to CSV file

you can use option "-csvfile" to specify the csv file to log all the performance results. Further you can use sbk charts for generating xlsx files with graphs.

Grafana Dashboards of SBK

When you run the SBK, by default it starts the http server and all the output benchmark data is directed to the default port number: 9718 and metrics context. If you want to change the port number and context, you can use the command line argument -context to change the same. you have to run the prometheus monitoring system (server [default port number is 9090] cum client) which pulls/fetches the benchmark data from the local/remote http server. If you want to include additional SBK nodes/instances to fetch the performance data or from port number other than 9718, you need to extend or update targets.json In case, if you are fetching metrics/benchmark data from remote http server , or from the context other than metrics then you need to change the default prometheus server configuration too. Run the grafana server (cum a client) to fetch the benchmark data from prometheus. For example, if you are running a local grafana server then by default it fetches the data from the prometheus server at the local port 9090. You can access the local grafana server at localhost:3000 in your browser using admin/admin as default username / password. You can import the grafana dashboards to fetch the SBK benchmark data of the existing supported storage drivers from grafana dashboards.

The sample output of Standalone Pulsar benchmark data with grafana is below

Pulsar Grafana Dashboard

Port conflicts between storage servers and grafana/prometheus

  • If you are running Pravega server in standalone/local mode or if you are running SBK in the same system in which Pravega controller is also running, then Prometheus port 9090 conflicts with the Pravega controller. So, either you change the Pravega controller port number or change the Prometheus port number in the Prometheus targets file before deploying the prometheus.
  • If you find that using the local port 9718 conflicts with a storage server or any other application. Then, you can change the SBK's http port using -metrics option, and you need change the Prometheus targets.json too

SBK with JMX exporter and Grafana

The SBK can start the java agent to export the JVM metrics to Grafana via Prometheus. you just have build with parameter -PjmxExport=true while building SBK.

the command is below

./gradlew installDist -PjmxExport=true

All the SBK JVM metrics will be available at http://localhost:8718/metrics The network port 8718 to used to expose the metrics. use SBK-JMX grafana dashboard to analyse the SBK-JVM metrics.

Distributed SBK

SBK can be deployed in a distributed clusters using SBM, SBK-GEM and SBK-GEM-YAL.

SBK Docker Containers

you can build the sbk docker image using 'docker' command as follows

docker build -f ./dockers/sbk <root directory> --tag <tag name>

example docker command is

docker build -f ./dockers/sbk ./ --tag sbk

you can run the docker image too, For example

docker run  -p 127.0.0.1:9718:9718/tcp  sbk -class  rabbitmq  -broker 192.168.0.192 -topic kmg-topic-11  -writers 5  
-readers 1 -size 100 -seconds 60
  • Note that the option -p 127.0.0.1:9718:9718/tcp redirects the 9718 port to local port to fetch the performance metric data for Prometheus.
  • Avoid using the --network host option , because this option overrides the port redirection.

Docker images for single sbk driver The sbk docker image is always bigger size and its size grows whenever new driver is added; so, you can build individual sbk driver docker image too ; the individual docker images are available at dockers folder. you can pick those file to build the docker image, for example to build the docker image for sbk file driver, you can use the command

docker build -f ./dockers/sbk-file ./ --tag sbk-file 

SBK Docker hub

The SBK Docker images are available at SBK Docker with the latest tags

The SBK docker image pull command is

docker pull kmgowda/sbk

you can straightaway run the docker image too, For example

docker run  -p 127.0.0.1:9718:9718/tcp  kmgowda/sbk:latest -class  rabbitmq  -broker 192.168.0.192 -topic kmg-topic-11  -writers 5  -readers 1 -size 100 -seconds 60
  • Note that the option -p 127.0.0.1:9718:9718/tcp redirects the 9718 port to local port to fetch the performance metric data for Prometheus.
  • Avoid using the --network host option , because this option overrides the port redirection.

SBK Docker Compose

The SBK docker compose consists of SBK docker image, Grafana and prometheus docker images. The grafana image contains the dashboards which can be directly deployed for the performance analytics.

As an example, just follow the below steps to see the performance graphs

  1. In the SBK directory build the 'SBK' service of the docker compose file as follows.

    <SBK dir>% docker-compose -f ./docker-compose-sbk-grafana.yml build 
    
    
  2. Run the 'SBK' service as follows.

    <SBK dir>% docker-compose run sbk  -class concurrentq -writers 1  -readers 5 -size 1000 -seconds 120 
    
    
  3. login to grafana local host port 3000 with username admin and password sbk

  4. go to dashboard menu and pick the dashboard of the storage device on which you are running the performance benchmarking. in the above example, you can choose the Concurrent Queue dashboard.

  5. The SBK docker compose runs the SBK image as docker container. In case, if you are running SBK as an application, and you want to see the SBK performance graphs using Grafana, then use Grafana Docker compose

SBK Kubernetes

check these SBK Kubernetes Deployments samples for details on SBK as kubernetes pod. If you want to run the Grafana and prometheus as Kubernetes pods, then use Grafana Kubernetes deployment

SBK Execution Modes

The SBK can be executed in the following modes:

1. Burst Mode (Max rate mode)
2. Throughput Mode
3. Rate limiter Mode
4. End to End Latency Mode

1 - Burst Mode / Max Rate Mode

In this mode, the SBK pushes/pulls the messages to/from the storage client(device/driver) as much as possible. This mode is used to find the maximum and throughput that can be obtained from the storage device or storage cluster (server). This mode can be used for both writers and readers. By default, the SBK runs in Burst mode.

For example: The Burst mode for pulsar single writer as follows

<SBK directory>./build/distributions/sbk/bin/sbk -class Pulsar -admin http://localhost:8080 -broker tcp://localhost:6650 -topic topic-k-223  -partitions 1  -writers 1 -size 1000  -seconds 60 -throughput -1


The -throughput -1 indicates the burst mode. Note that, you don't supply the parameter -throughput then also its burst mode.
This test will be executed for 60 seconds because option -seconds 60 is used.
This test tries to write and read events of size 1000 bytes to/from the topic 'topic-k-223'.
The option '-broker tcp://localhost:6650' specifies the Pulsar broker IP address and port number for write operations.
The option '-admin http://localhost:8080' specifies the Pulsar admin IP and port number for topic creation and deletion.
Note that -producers 1 indicates 1 producer/writers.

in the case you want to write/read the certain number of records.events use the -records option without -seconds option as follows

<SBK directory>/build/distributions/sbk/bin/sbk -class Pulsar -admin http://localhost:8080 -broker tcp://localhost:6650 -topic topic-k-223  -partitions 1  -writers 1 -size 1000  -records 100000 -throughput -1

-records <number> indicates that total <number> of records to write/read

2 - Throughput Mode

In this mode, the SBK pushes/pulls/from the messages to the storage client(device/driver) with specified approximate maximum throughput in terms of Mega Bytes/second (MB/s). This mode is used to find the least latency that can be obtained from the storage device or storage cluster (server) for given throughput.

For example: The throughput mode for pulsar 5 writers as follows
<SBK directory> ./build/distributions/sbk/bin/sbk -class Pulsar -admin http://localhost:8080 -broker tcp://localhost:6650 -topic topic-k-223 -partitions 1 -writers 5 -size 1000 -seconds 120 -throughput 10

The -throughput <positive number> indicates the Throughput mode.

This test will be executed with approximate max throughput of 10MB/sec.
This test will be executed for 120 seconds (2 minutes) because option -seconds 120 is used.
This test tries to write and read events of size 1000 bytes to/from the topic 'topic-k-223' of 1 partition.
If the topic 'topic-k-223' is not existing , then it will be created with 1 segment.
if the steam is already existing then it will be deleted and recreated with 1 segment.
Note that -writers 5 indicates 5 producers/writers .

in the case you want to write/read the certain number of events use the -records option without -seconds option as follows

<SBK directory>./build/distributions/sbk/bin/sbk -class Pulsar -admin http://localhost:8080 -broker tcp://localhost:6650 -topic topic-k-223 -partitions 1 -writers 5 -size 1000 -records 1000000 -throughput 10

-records 1000000 indicates that total 1000000 (1 million) of events will be written at the throughput speed of 10MB/sec

3 - Rate limiter Mode

This mode is another form of controlling writers/readers throughput by limiting the number of records per second. In this mode, the SBK pushes/pulls the messages to/from the storage client (device/driver) with specified approximate maximum records per sec. This mode is used to find the least latency that can be obtained from the storage device or storage cluster (server) for events rate.

For example: The Rate limiter Mode for pulsar 5 writers as follows

<SBK directory>./build/distributions/sbk/bin/sbk -class Pulsar -admin http://localhost:8080 -broke
r tcp://localhost:6650 -topic topic-k-225 -partitions 10 -writers 5 -size 100 -seconds 60 -records 1000

The -records <records number> (1000) specifies the records per second to write.
Note that the option "-throughput" SHOULD NOT be supplied for this Rate limiter Mode.

This test will be executed with approximately 1000 events per second by 5 writers.
The topic "topic-k-225" with 10 partitions is created to run this test.
This test will be executed for 60seconds (1 minutes) because option -seconds 60 is used.
Note that in this mode, there is 'NO total number of events' to specify hence the user must supply the time to run using the -seconds option.

4 - End to End Latency Mode

In this mode, the SBK writes and reads the messages to the storage client (device/driver) and records the end to end latency. End to end latency means the time duration between the beginning of the writing event/record to stream, and the time after reading the event/record. in this mode user must specify both the number of writers and readers. The -throughput option (Throughput mode) or -records (late limiter) can be used to limit the writer's throughput or records rate.

For example: The End to End latency of between single writer and single reader of pulsar is as follows:

<SBK directory>./build/distributions/sbk/bin/sbk -class Pulsar -admin http://localhost:8080 -broker tcp://localhost:6650 -topic topic-km-1 -partitions 1 -writers 1 -readers 1 -size 1000 -throughput -1 -seconds 60 

The user should specify both writers and readers count for write to read or End to End latency mode.
The -throughput -1 specifies the writer tries to write the events at the maximum possible speed.

Contributing to SBK

All submissions to the master are done through pull requests. If you'd like to make a change:

  1. Create a new Github issue (SBK issues) describing the problem / feature.
  2. Fork a branch.
  3. Make your changes.
    • you can refer (Oracle Java Coding Style) for coding style; however, Running the Gradle build helps you to fix the Coding style issues too.
  4. Verify all changes are working and Gradle build checkstyle is good.
  5. Submit a pull request with Issue number, Description and your Sign-off.

Make sure that you update the issue with all details of testing you have done; it will be helpful for me to review and merge.

Another important point to consider is how to keep up with changes against the base branch (the one your pull request is comparing against). Let's assume that the base branch is master. To make sure that your changes reflect the recent commits, I recommend that you rebase frequently. The command I suggest you use is:

git pull --rebase upstream master
git push --force origin <pr-branch-name>

in the above, I'm assuming that:

The rebase might introduce conflicts, so you better do it frequently to avoid outrageous sessions of conflict resolving.

Lombok

SBK uses [Lombok] for code optimizations; I suggest the same for all the contributors too. If you use an IDE you'll need to install a plugin to make the IDE understand it. Using IntelliJ is recommended.

To import the source into IntelliJ:

  1. Import the project directory into IntelliJ IDE. It will automatically detect the gradle project and import things correctly.
  2. Enable Annotation Processing by going to Build, Execution, Deployment -> Compiler > Annotation Processors and checking 'Enable annotation processing'.
  3. Install the Lombok Plugin. This can be found in Preferences -> Plugins. Restart your IDE.
  4. SBK should now compile properly.

For eclipse, you can generate eclipse project files by running ./gradlew eclipse.

Add your driver to SBK

Add your driver to SBK using Gradle command and template driver

  1. Run the command ./gradlew addDriver -Pdriver="your driver name"

    1. This command create the new subproject under the SBK framework with .java and Reader. java and Writer.java files filled with required classes definitions
  2. You have to implement the following methods of Benchmark Interface: a). Add the Additional parameters (Command line Parameters) for your driver :[addArgs]

    • The default command line parameters are listed in the help output here : [Building SBK]

    b). Parse your driver specific parameters: [parseArgs]

    c). Open the storage: [openStorage]

    d). Close the storage:[closeStorage]

    e). Create a single writer instance:[createWriter]

    • Create Writer will be called multiple times by SBK in case of Multi writers are specified in the command line.

    f). Create a single Reader instance:[createReader]

    • Create Reader will be called multiple times by SBK in case of Multi readers are specified in the command line.

    g). Get the Data Type :[getDataType]

    • In case your data type is byte[] (Byte Array), No need to override this method. see the example: [Pulsar class]
    • If your Benchmark, Reader and Writer classes operates on different data type such as String or custom data type, then you have to override this default implementation.
  3. You have to implement the following methods of Writer class a). Writer Data [Async or Sync]: [writeAsync]

    b). Flush the data: [sync]

    c). Close the Writer: [close]

    d). In case , if you want to have your own recordWrite implementation to write data and record the start and end time, then you can override: [recordWrite]

    1. You have to implement the following methods of Reader class

      i). Read Data

      1. for synchronous reads: [read]
      2. for Asynchronous reads: [AsyncRead]
      3. for call-back reads extend the abstract class: [Abstract callback Reader]

      ii). Close the Reader:[close ]

  4. That's all ; Now, Build the SBK included your driver with the command:

./gradlew build

untar the SBK to local folder

tar -xvf ./build/distributions/sbk-5.0.tar -C ./build/distributions/.

Use SBK git hub packages

Instead of using entire SBK framework, if you just want to use the SBK framework API packages to measure the performance benchmarking of your storage device/software, then follow the below simple and easy steps.

  1. Add the SBK git hub package repository and dependency in gradle build file of your project as follows

     repositories {
         mavenCentral()
    
         maven {
             name = "GitHubPackages"
             url = uri("https://maven.pkg.github.com/kmgowda/SBK")
    
    /*
             credentials {
                 username = project.findProperty("github.user") ?: System.getenv("GITHUB_USERNAME")
                 password = project.findProperty("github.token") ?: System.getenv("GITHUB_TOKEN")
             }
    */   
             credentials {
                 username = "sbk-public"
                 password = "\u0067hp_FBqmGRV6KLTcFjwnDTvozvlhs3VNja4F67B5"
             }   
    
        }
     }
    
     dependencies {
         implementation "io.github.kmgowda.sbk:sbk-api:1.0"
     }
    
    

    few points to remember here

    • you need to authenticate with your git hub username (GITHUB_USERNAME) and git hub token (GITHUB_TOKEN)
    • mavenCentral() repository is required to fetch the SBK's dependencies too.
    • check this example: File system benchmarking git hub build
  2. Extend the storage interface Storage by following steps 1 to 5 described in Add your storage driver

  3. Create a Main method to supply your storage class object to SBK to run/conduct the performance benchmarking

     public static void main(final String[] args) {
         Storage device = new <your storage class, extending the Storage interface>;
         try {
         
             //Start the File system benchmarking here
             
             Sbk.run(args  /* Command line Arguments, use '-class ' option specify the you storage class name  */ , 
                   packageNmae /* the name of the package where your storage device object exists */ , 
                   null /* Name of the your performance benchmarking application, by default , storage class name will be used */ ,
                   null /* Logger, if you don't have your own logger, then prometheus logger will be used by default */ );
             
             
         } catch (ParseException | IllegalArgumentException | IOException |
                 InterruptedException | ExecutionException | TimeoutException ex) {
             ex.printStackTrace();
             System.exit(1);
         }
         System.exit(0);
     }
    
    
  4. That's all! Run your main method (your java application ) with "-help" to see the benchmarking options.
