How can I run the YCSB workload on CockroachDB?

Question

I want to run the "Yahoo! Cloud Serving Benchmark" on CockroachDB for evaluation. Is there a dedicated testing manual or documentation for using YCSB to test CockroachDB?

I tried using the official YCSB workload (https://github.com/brianfrankcooper/YCSB), but it did not work. Has CockroachDB made adaptations to it?

Answer 1

CockroachDB has its own own runner for YCSB. It comes in the cockroach binary. You can initialize it using cockroach workload init ycsb [pgurl...] and run it using cockroach workload run ycsb [pgurl...].

There is more detailed information about running workloads here https://www.cockroachlabs.com/docs/stable/cockroach-workload.html
