# Spark SQL Performance Tests
|
|
|
|
[](https://travis-ci.org/databricks/spark-sql-perf)
|
|
|
|
This is a performance testing framework for [Spark SQL](https://spark.apache.org/sql/) in [Apache Spark](https://spark.apache.org/) 1.6+.
|
|
|
|
**Note: This README is still under development. Please also check our source code for more information.**
|
|
|
|
# Quick Start
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ bin/run --help
|
|
|
|
spark-sql-perf 0.2.0
|
|
Usage: spark-sql-perf [options]
|
|
|
|
-b <value> | --benchmark <value>
|
|
the name of the benchmark to run
|
|
-f <value> | --filter <value>
|
|
a filter on the name of the queries to run
|
|
-i <value> | --iterations <value>
|
|
the number of iterations to run
|
|
--help
|
|
prints this usage text
|
|
|
|
$ bin/run --benchmark DatasetPerformance
|
|
```
|

# TPC-DS
|
|
|
|
## How to use it
|
|
The rest of document will use TPC-DS benchmark as an example. We will add contents to explain how to use other benchmarks add the support of a new benchmark dataset in future.
|
|
|
|
### Setup a benchmark
|
|
Before running any query, a dataset needs to be setup by creating a `Benchmark` object. Generating
|
|
the TPCDS data requires dsdgen built and available on the machines. We have a fork of dsdgen that
|
|
you will need. It can be found [here](https://github.com/davies/tpcds-kit).
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
// If not done already, you have to set the path for the results
|
|
spark.config("spark.sql.perf.results", "/tmp/results")
|
|
|
|
import com.databricks.spark.sql.perf.tpcds.Tables
|
|
// Tables in TPC-DS benchmark used by experiments.
|
|
// dsdgenDir is the location of dsdgen tool installed in your machines.
|
|
// scaleFactor defines the size of the dataset to generate (in GB)
|
|
val tables = new Tables(sqlContext, dsdgenDir, scaleFactor)
|
|
|
|
// Generate data.
|
|
// location is the place there the generated data will be written
|
|
// format is a valid spark format like "parquet"
|
|
tables.genData(location, format, overwrite, partitionTables, useDoubleForDecimal, clusterByPartitionColumns, filterOutNullPartitionValues)
|
|
// Create metastore tables in a specified database for your data.
|
|
// Once tables are created, the current database will be switched to the specified database.
|
|
tables.createExternalTables(location, format, databaseName, overwrite)
|
|
// Or, if you want to create temporary tables
|
|
tables.createTemporaryTables(location, format)
|
|
// Setup TPC-DS experiment
|
|
import com.databricks.spark.sql.perf.tpcds.TPCDS
|
|
val tpcds = new TPCDS (sqlContext = sqlContext)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
### Run benchmarking queries
|
|
After setup, users can use `runExperiment` function to run benchmarking queries and record query execution time. Taking TPC-DS as an example, you can start an experiment by using
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
val experiment = tpcds.runExperiment(tpcds.interactiveQueries)
|
|
experiment.waitForFinish(60*60*10) // optional: wait for results (with timeout)
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
For every experiment run (i.e. every call of `runExperiment`), Spark SQL Perf will use the timestamp of the start time to identify this experiment. Performance results will be stored in the sub-dir named by the timestamp in the given `spark.sql.perf.results` (for example `/tmp/results/timestamp=1429213883272`). The performance results are stored in the JSON format.
|
|
|
|
### Retrieve results
|
|
While the experiment is running you can use `experiment.html` to list the status. Once the experiment is complete, you can load the results from disk.
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
// Get all experiments results.
|
|
val resultTable = spark.read.json(spark.conf.get("spark.sql.perf.results"))
|
|
resultTable.createOrReplaceTempView("sqlPerformance")
|
|
sqlContext.table("sqlPerformance")
|
|
// Get the result of a particular run by specifying the timestamp of that run.
|
|
sqlContext.table("sqlPerformance").filter("timestamp = 1429132621024")
|
|
// or
|
|
val specificResultTable = spark.read.json(experiment.resultPath)
|
|
```
