cockroach workload

On this page Carat arrow pointing down

CockroachDB comes with built-in load generators for simulating different types of client workloads, printing per-operation statistics and totals after a specific duration or max number of operations. To run one of these load generators, use the cockroach workload command as described below.

Warning:

The cockroach workload command is experimental. The interface and output are subject to change.

Synopsis

Create the schema for a workload:

$ cockroach workload init <workload> <flags> '<connection string>'

Run a workload:

$ cockroach workload run <workload> <flags> '<connection string>'

View help:

$ cockroach workload --help

$ cockroach workload init --help

$ cockroach workload init <workload> --help

$ cockroach workload run --help

$ cockroach workload run <workload> --help

Subcommands

Command Usage
init Load the schema for the workload. You run this command once for a given schema.
run Run a workload. You can run this command multiple times from different machines to increase concurrency. See Concurrency for more details.

Concurrency

There are two ways to increase the concurrency of a workload:

  • Increase the concurrency of a single workload instance by running cockroach workload run <workload> with the --concurrency flag set to a value higher than the default. Note that not all workloads support this flag.
  • Run multiple instances of a workload in parallel by running cockroach workload run <workload> multiple times from different terminals/machines.

Workloads

Workload Description
bank Models a set of accounts with currency balances.

For this workload, you run workload init to load the schema and then workload run to generate data.
intro Loads an intro database, with one table, mytable, with a hidden message.

For this workload, you run only workload init to load the data. The workload run subcommand is not applicable.
kv Reads and writes to keys spread (by default, uniformly at random) across the cluster.

For this workload, you run workload init to load the schema and then workload run to generate data.
movr Simulates a workload for the MovR example application.

For this workload, you run workload init to load the schema and then workload run to generate data.
startrek Loads a startrek database, with two tables, episodes and quotes.

For this workload, you run only workload init to load the data. The workload run subcommand is not applicable.
tpcc Simulates a transaction processing workload using a rich schema of multiple tables.

For this workload, you run workload init to load the schema and then workload run to generate data.
ycsb Simulates a high-scale key value workload, either read-heavy, write-heavy, or scan-based, with additional customizations.

For this workload, you run workload init to load the schema and then workload run to generate data.
Note:

cockroach workload sets the application_name for its workload queries to the name of the workload that is used. You can filter queries on application_name on the Statements page of the DB Console, or in a SHOW STATEMENTS statement.

Flags

Note:

The cockroach workload command does not support connection or security flags like other cockroach commands. Instead, you must use a connection string at the end of the command.

All workloads

All workloads support the following flags:

Flag Description
--max-conn-lifetime The maximum duration of a connection. Default: 300s
--max-conn-lifetime-jitter The maximum jitter when tearing down a connection. Default: 30s

Logging

By default, the cockroach workload command logs messages to stderr. This includes events with INFO severity and higher.

If you need to troubleshoot this command's behavior, you can customize its logging behavior.

Examples

These examples assume that you have already started an insecure cluster locally:

icon/buttons/copy 
$ cockroach start \
--insecure \
--listen-addr=localhost

Run the bank workload

  1. Load the initial schema:

    icon/buttons/copy 
    $ cockroach workload init bank \
'postgresql://root@localhost:26257?sslmode=disable'

  2. Run the workload for 1 minute:

    icon/buttons/copy 
    $ cockroach workload run bank \
--duration=1m \
'postgresql://root@localhost:26257?sslmode=disable'

    You'll see per-operation statistics print to standard output every second:

    _elapsed___errors__ops/sec(inst)___ops/sec(cum)__p50(ms)__p95(ms)__p99(ms)_pMax(ms)

...

    After the specified duration (1 minute in this case), the workload will stop and you'll see totals printed to standard output:

    _elapsed___errors_____ops(total)___ops/sec(cum)__avg(ms)__p50(ms)__p95(ms)__p99(ms)_pMax(ms)__result

Run the kv workload

  1. Load the initial schema:

    icon/buttons/copy 
    $ cockroach workload init kv \

  2. Run the workload for 1 minute:

    icon/buttons/copy 
    $ cockroach workload run kv \
--duration=1m \
'postgresql://root@localhost:26257?sslmode=disable'

Run the movr workload

  1. Load the initial schema:

    icon/buttons/copy 
    $ cockroach workload init movr \
'postgresql://root@localhost:26257?sslmode=disable'

  2. Initialize and run the workload for 1 minute:

    icon/buttons/copy 
    $ cockroach workload run movr \

Customize the frequency and format of per-operation statistics

To customize the frequency of per-operation statistics, use the --display-every flag, with ns, us, ms, s, m, and h as valid time units. To customize the format of per-operation statistics, use the --display-format flag, with incremental-json or simple (default) as options.

  1. Load the initial schema and data:

    icon/buttons/copy 
    $ cockroach workload init ycsb \
'postgresql://root@localhost:26257?sslmode=disable'

  2. Run the workload for 1 minute, printing the output every 5 seconds as JSON:

    icon/buttons/copy 
    $ cockroach workload run ycsb \
--duration=1m \
--display-every=5s \
--display-format=incremental-json \
'postgresql://root@localhost:26257?sslmode=disable'
