Introduction

Redis official redis-benchmark does not support cluster mode, but it is a note that it can be easily taken by using memtier benchmark .

Installation and running

Depending on the system on which we want to run, we have a few options to choose from:

• Centos6

$ yum install autoconf automake make gcc-c++ 
$ yum install pcre-devel zlib-devel libmemcached-devel
$ wget https://github.com/downloads/libevent/libevent/libevent-2.0.21-stable.tar.gz
$ tar xfz libevent-2.0.21-stable.tar.gz
$ pushd libevent-2.0.21-stable
$ ./configure
$ make
$ sudo make install
$ popd
$ export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:${PKG_CONFIG_PATH}

• Centos7

$ sudo yum install libevent-devel
$ git clone https://github.com/RedisLabs/memtier_benchmark.git
$ cd memtier_benchmark
$ autoreconf -ivf
$ ./configure
$ make
$ sudo make install
$ memtier_benchmark --help

• Ubuntu

$ sudo apt-get install build-essential autoconf automake libpcre3-dev libevent-dev pkg-config zlib1g-dev
$ git clone https://github.com/RedisLabs/memtier_benchmark.git
$ cd memtier_benchmark
$ autoreconf -ivf
$ ./configure
$ make
$ sudo make install
$ memtier_benchmark --help

• Docker

$ git clone https://github.com/RedisLabs/memtier_benchmark.git
$ cd memtier_benchmark
$ docker build -t memtier_benchmark .
$ docker run --rm memtier_benchmark --help

Execution

• Specify one of the master nodes of the cluster with.

$ memtier_benchmark -s 127.0.0.1 -p 6379 --cluster-mode

• Example (Password specification, 100 connections for each thread with 8 threads, random data size of 500 bytes, SET: GET command ratio of 1: 2, and 20000 requests are sent.)

$ memtier_benchmark -s 127.0.0.1 -p 6379 -a password --cluster-mode -t 8 -c 100 -R --ratio=1:2 -d 500 -n 20000
