Quick Start

This section describes how to run YCSB on Redis.

1. Start Redis

2. Install Java and Maven

3. Set Up YCSB

Git clone YCSB and compile:

git clone http://github.com/brianfrankcooper/YCSB.git
cd YCSB
mvn -pl com.yahoo.ycsb:redis-binding -am clean package

4. Provide Redis Connection Parameters

Set host, port, password, and cluster mode in the workload you plan to run.

• redis.host
• redis.port
• redis.password
  • Don't set the password if redis auth is disabled.
• redis.cluster
  • Set the cluster parameter to true if redis cluster mode is enabled.
  • Default is false.

Or, you can set configs with the shell command, EG:

./bin/ycsb load redis -s -P workloads/workloada -p "redis.host=127.0.0.1" -p "redis.port=6379" > outputLoad.txt

5. Load data and run tests

Load the data:

./bin/ycsb load redis -s -P workloads/workloada > outputLoad.txt

Run the workload test:

./bin/ycsb run redis -s -P workloads/workloada > outputRun.txt
