Hologres:Test plan

Last Updated:Feb 26, 2024

This topic describes how to use TPC Benchmark H (TPC-H) to test the performance of online analytical processing (OLAP) queries and point queries of key-value pairs.

About TPC-H

The following description is quoted from the TPC Benchmark™ H (TPC-H) specification:

TPC-H is a decision support benchmark that consists of a suite of business-oriented ad hoc queries and concurrent data modifications. The queries and the data populating the database have been chosen to have broad industry-wide relevance. This benchmark illustrates decision support systems that examine large volumes of data, execute queries with a high degree of complexity, and give answers to critical business questions.

For more information, see TPC Benchmark™ H Standard Specification.

Note

The TPC-H performance tests described in this topic are implemented based on the TPC-H benchmark test but cannot meet all requirements of the TPC-H benchmark test. Therefore, the test results described in this topic cannot be compared with the published results of the TPC-H benchmark test.

Datasets

TPC-H is a test set developed by the Transaction Processing Performance Council (TPC) to simulate decision support systems. TPC-H is used in academia and industries to evaluate the performance of decision support systems.

TPC-H models data in production environments to simulate the data warehouse of a sales system. The data warehouse consists of eight tables. The size of each table ranges from 1 GB to 3 TB. The TPC-H benchmark test involves 22 query statements. The test focuses on the response time of each query, which is the amount of time required from submitting a query to receiving the returned result. The test results can comprehensively reflect the capability of the system to process queries. For more information, see TPC BENCHMARK H Standard Specification.

Scenarios

In this topic, the following tests are performed:

The amount of test data affects the test results. The data generation tool provided by TPC-H allows you to change the scale factor (SF) to adjust the amount of the data to be generated. One SF indicates 1 GB of data.

Note

The preceding data amount refers to the amount of raw data. When you prepare the test environment, you must also consider other factors such as the space to be occupied by indexes.

Preparations

You must prepare the basic environment and TPC-H data required for the tests on OLAP queries and point queries of key-value pairs. The following tables describe the steps to be performed to prepare the basic environment and TPC-H data.

Note

To reduce the variables that may have impacts on test results, we recommend that you use new instances each time you perform the tests described in this topic, instead of upgrading or downgrading the specifications of existing instances, to meet the test requirements.

  • Prepare the basic environment

    Step

    Description

    1. Create an Elastic Compute Service (ECS) instance.

    Log on to the Alibaba Cloud Management Console and create an ECS instance. The ECS instance is used to generate data, import data to Hologres, and test clients. We recommend that you create an ECS instance that meets the following conditions:

    • Instance type: ecs.g6.4xlarge.

    • Operating system: CentOS 8.4.

    • Enhanced SSD (ESSD): Determine the capacity based on the amount of the data to be tested.

    • Region: We recommend that you deploy the ECS instance and Hologres instance in the same region and virtual private cloud (VPC).

    For more information about how to create an ECS instance, see Create an instance.

    2. Create a Hologres instance.

    Create an exclusive Hologres instance that uses the pay-as-you-go billing method. In this example, the instance is used only for testing. Configure 64 CPU cores and 256 GB memory for the instance. You can also configure computing resources based on your business requirements.

    Log on to the Hologres console. On the Instances page, click Create Instance.

    For more information about how to purchase a Hologres instance, see Purchase a Hologres instance.

    3. Create a test database.

    Connect to the created Hologres instance and create a database. In this example, a database named tpch_1sf is created.

    For more information about how to create a database, see Create a database.

  • Generate TPC-H data

    You must connect to the ECS instance from a remote client, download the data generation tool, compile the data generation code, and then generate the TPC-H data. The following table describes the steps to be performed to prepare the TPC-H data.

    Step

    Description

    1. Prepare the data generation code.

    To prepare the data generation code, perform the following operations:

    1. Connect to the ECS instance.

      For more information about how to connect to an ECS instance, see Connection methods.

    2. After you connect to the ECS instance, run the yum update command to update all repositories.

    3. Run the yum install git command to install Git.

    4. Run the yum install gcc command to install GNU Compiler Collection (GCC).

    5. Run the git clone https://github.com/gregrahn/tpch-kit.git command to download the TPC-H data generation tool.

    6. Run the cd tpch-kit/dbgen command to go to the directory of the data generation tool.

    7. Run the make command to compile the data generation code.

    2. Generate data.

    After the code is compiled, you can run the ./dbgen --help command to view the parameters in the data generation code. The following examples show you how to generate TPC-H data for tests and view the generated files:

    • In this example, 1 GB of data is required. In this case, you can run the following command to generate data:

      ./dbgen -vf -s 1

      If you need to generate more data, you can set the SF to a greater value. For example, you can run the following command to generate 1 TB of data:

      ./dbgen -vf -s 1000

      In general, 32 compute units (CUs) are sufficient to process TPC-H data whose SF is 10, and 256 CUs are sufficient to process TPC-H data whose SF is 50.

    • The generated data is stored on the ECS instance. You can run the following command to view the generated files. Eight files are generated. Each file contains the data for a table involved in tests.

      ls | grep '.*.tbl'

Performance test on OLAP queries

Before you test the performance of OLAP queries, you must create tables and import data to the tables. To execute queries more effectively, you can collect the characteristics of each table after data is imported. After the compaction at the backend is complete, use a tool such as pgbench to run a performance test on OLAP queries. To run a performance test on OLAP queries, perform the following steps:

  1. Create tables.

    1. Run the following command on the ECS instance to install the PostgreSQL client for data import:

      yum install postgresql-server -y
    2. After the PostgreSQL client is installed, run the following command to connect to the Hologres instance. For more information about the parameters in the command, see Connect to a Hologres instance from the PostgreSQL client.

      PGUSER=<AccessID> PGPASSWORD=<AccessKey> psql -p <Port> -h <Endpoint> -d <Database>
    3. After you connect to the Hologres instance from the PostgreSQL client, execute the following statements to create the tables required for the test:

      DROP TABLE IF EXISTS LINEITEM;
      
      BEGIN;
      CREATE TABLE LINEITEM (
          L_ORDERKEY bigint NOT NULL,

      CALL set_table_property ('REGION', 'bitmap_columns', '');
      CALL set_table_property ('REGION', 'dictionary_encoding_columns', '');
      COMMIT;

      You can run the tpch_1sf=# \dt command on the PostgreSQL client to check whether the tables are created.

      tpch_1sf=# \dt
                     List of relations
       Schema |   Name   | Type  |       Owner        
      --------+----------+-------+--------------------
       public | customer | table | tpch_1sf_developer
       public | lineitem | table | tpch_1sf_developer
       public | nation   | table | tpch_1sf_developer
       public | orders   | table | tpch_1sf_developer
       public | part     | table | tpch_1sf_developer
       public | partsupp | table | tpch_1sf_developer
       public | region   | table | tpch_1sf_developer
       public | supplier | table | tpch_1sf_developer
      (8 rows)
  2. Import data.

    You can import data by using one of the following methods:

    • In this topic, the COPY FROM STDIN statement is executed to import data. For more information about how to use the COPY FROM STDIN statement, see Use the COPY statement to import or export data. TPC-H data is imported from the .tbl files generated during preparations to the tables created in Hologres

    • You can also run the following shell script in the directory of the data generation tool to import data. For more information about the parameters in the shell script, see Use the PostgreSQL client to connect to Hologres.

      for i in `ls *.tbl`; do
          echo $i;
          name=`echo $i| cut -d'.' -f1`;
          PGUSER=<AccessID> PGPASSWORD=<AccessKey> psql -p <Port> -h <Endpoint> -d <Database> -c "COPY $name from stdin with delimiter '|' csv;" < $i;
      done
  3. Collect the statistics of tables.

    To execute queries more effectively, you can execute the following statements on the PostgreSQL client to collect the characteristics of each table. We recommend that you wait until the compaction at the backend is complete before you execute queries. After the compaction is complete, the CPU load decreases and becomes stable.

    -- Collect the statistics of tables.
    analyze nation;
    analyze region;
    analyze lineitem;
    analyze orders;
    analyze customer;
    analyze part;
    analyze partsupp;
    analyze supplier;
    -- Collect statistics on the join keys that are not configured as primary keys.
    analyze lineitem (l_orderkey,l_partkey,l_suppkey);
    analyze orders (o_custkey);
    analyze partsupp(ps_partkey,ps_suppkey);
  4. Execute queries.

    1. Install pgbench, which facilitates statistics collection on queries. You can run the following command to install pgbench:

      yum install postgresql-contrib -y

      To prevent incompatibility issues, we recommend that you install pgbench V13 or later. If you have locally installed pgbench, make sure that its version is later than V9.6. To view the version of pgbench, run the following command:

      pgbench --version
    2. To facilitate queries, you can download the package of 22 TPC-H query statements and upload the package to the ECS instance. For more information about how to upload a file to an ECS instance, see Upload files to ECS instances.

    3. Log on to the ECS instance, go to the directory of the uploaded package, and then run the following shell command to decompress the package:

      unzip tpch_query_updated_20210721.zip
    4. Execute TPC-H query statements by using one of the following methods. For more information about the query statements, see TPC-H 22 query statements.

      • Use pgbench to execute query statements one by one.

        The TPC-H benchmark test involves 22 query statements. If you want to execute query statement Q6, specify 6.sql in the following statement:

        PGUSER=<AccessID> PGPASSWORD=<AccessKey> PGDATABASE=<Database> pgbench -h <Endpoint> -p <Port> -c <Client_Num> -T <Query_Seconds> -n -f xxx.sql
      • Run the following shell script to execute 22 query statements at a time and export the results to the hologres_tpch_test.out file:

        rm -f hologres_tpch_test.out
        echo `date +"%Y-%m-%d %H:%M:%S"` begin >> ./hologres_tpch_test.out
        for i in {1..22}
        do
            PGUSER=<AccessID> PGPASSWORD=<AccessKey> PGDATABASE=<Database> pgbench -h <Endpoint> -p <Port> -c <Client_Num> -T <Query_Seconds> -n -f ./tpch_query_updated_20210721/q${i}.sql >> ./hologres_tpch_test.out
        done

      The following table describes the parameters in the shell script.

      Parameter

      Description

Performance test on point queries of key-value pairs

Before you test the performance of point queries of key-value pairs, you must create a table and import data to the table. After data is imported, you can generate and execute a query statement to run the test. To run a performance test on point queries of key-value pairs, perform the following steps:

  1. Create a table.

    You can create a table based on the schema defined for the ORDERS table in the TPC-H dataset and use the database created for the performance test on OLAP queries to run the performance test on point queries of key-value pairs. After you connect to the Hologres instance from the PostgreSQL client, you can execute the following statements to create the table required for the test. For more information about how to connect to a Hologres instance from the PostgreSQL client, see Connect to a Hologres instance from the PostgreSQL client.

    Note

    The performance test on point queries of key-value pairs requires a row-oriented table. Therefore, the tables created for the performance test on OLAP queries cannot be used. You must create a row-oriented table.

    DROP TABLE IF EXISTS public.orders_row;
    
    BEGIN;
    CREATE TABLE public.orders_row(
        O_ORDERKEY       BIGINT            NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY
        ,O_CUSTKEY       INT            NOT NULL
        ,O_ORDERSTATUS   TEXT           NOT NULL
        ,O_TOTALPRICE    DECIMAL(15,2)  NOT NULL
        ,O_ORDERDATE     TIMESTAMPTZ    NOT NULL
        ,O_ORDERPRIORITY TEXT           NOT NULL
        ,O_CLERK         TEXT           NOT NULL
        ,O_SHIPPRIORITY  INT            NOT NULL
        ,O_COMMENT       TEXT           NOT NULL
    );
    CALL SET_TABLE_PROPERTY('public.orders_row', 'orientation', 'row');
    CALL SET_TABLE_PROPERTY('public.orders_row', 'clustering_key', 'o_orderkey');
    CALL SET_TABLE_PROPERTY('public.orders_row', 'distribution_key', 'o_orderkey');
    COMMIT;
  2. Import data.

    You can import data by using one of the following methods:

    • Execute the COPY statement to import data

      • In this topic, the COPY FROM STDIN statement is executed to import data. For more information about how to use the COPY FROM STDIN statement, see Use the COPY statement to import or export data. TPC-H data is imported from the .tbl files generated during preparations to the tables created in Hologres

      • You can also run the following shell script in the directory of the data generation tool to import data. For more information about the parameters in the shell script, see Connect to a Hologres instance from the PostgreSQL client.

        PGUSER=<AccessID> PGPASSWORD=<AccessKey> psql -p <Port> -h <Endpoint> -d <Database> -c "COPY public.orders_row from stdin with delimiter '|' csv;" < orders.tbl
    • Execute the INSERT INTO statement to import data

      The data for the ORDERS table has been imported during the performance test on OLAP queries. You can run the following SQL statement to import the data to the row-oriented table:

      INSERT INTO public.orders_row
      SELECT  *
      FROM    public.orders;
  3. Execute queries.

    1. Generate a query statement.

      The following table describes the two types of queries involved in the performance test on point queries of key-value pairs.

      Query type

      Query statement

      Description

      Single-value filtering

      SELECT  column_a

              ,column_x
      FROM    table_x
      WHERE   pk = value_x
      ;

      This query statement applies to single-value filtering where only one primary key value is specified in the WHERE clause.

      Multi-value filtering

      SELECT  column_a
              ,column_b
              ,...
              ,column_x
      FROM    table_x
      WHERE   pk IN ( value_a, value_b,..., value_x )
      ;

      This query statement applies to multi-value filtering where multiple primary key values are specified in the WHERE clause.

      You can run the following script to generate the required SQL statement. Two SQL statements are generated. The SQL statement that applies to single-value filtering is exported to the kv_query_single.sql file. The SQL statement that applies to multi-value filtering is exported to the kv_query_in.sql file, where 10 random primary key values are specified in the WHERE clause.

      rm -rf kv_query
      mkdir kv_query
      cd kv_query
      echo "
      \set column_values random(1,99999999)

    2. Install pgbench, which facilitates statistics collection on queries. You can run the following command to install pgbench:

      yum install postgresql-contrib -y

      To prevent incompatibility issues, we recommend that you install pgbench V13 or later. If you have locally installed pgbench, make sure that its version is later than V9.6. To view the version of pgbench, run the following command:

      pgbench --version
    3. Execute the query statement.

      • Use pgbench to execute the query statement that adopts single-value filtering. You must execute the following statement in the directory where the SQL file resides. For more information about the parameters in the statement, see the table in the "Performance test on OLAP queries" section.

        PGUSER=<AccessID> PGPASSWORD=<AccessKey> PGDATABASE=<Database> pgbench -h <Endpoint> -p <Port> -c <Client_Num> -T <Query_Seconds> -M prepared -n -f kv_query_single.sql
      • Use pgbench to execute the query statement that adopts multi-value filtering. You must execute the following statement in the directory where the SQL file resides. For more information about the parameters in the statement, see the table in the "Performance test on OLAP queries" section.

        PGUSER=<AccessID> PGPASSWORD=<AccessKey> PGDATABASE=<Database> pgbench -h <Endpoint> -p <Port> -c <Client_Num> -T <Query_Seconds> -M prepared -n -f kv_query_in.sql

Data update test

You can test the performance of data updates based on the primary key for the OLAP engine. In this example, a row of data is inserted, or a row of data is updated if a primary key conflict occurs.

  • Generate a query statement.

    echo "
    \set O_ORDERKEY random(1,99999999)
    INSERT INTO public.orders_row(o_orderkey,o_custkey,o_orderstatus,o_totalprice,o_orderdate,o_orderpriority,o_clerk,o_shippriority,o_comment) VALUES (:O_ORDERKEY,1,'demo',1.1,'2021-01-01','demo','demo',1,'demo') on conflict(o_orderkey) do update set (o_orderkey,o_custkey,o_orderstatus,o_totalprice,o_orderdate,o_orderpriority,o_clerk,o_shippriority,o_comment)= ROW(excluded.*);
    " > /root/insert_on_conflict.sql
  • Execute the query statement to insert data, or update data if a primary key conflict occurs.

    PGUSER=<AccessID> PGPASSWORD=<AccessKey> PGDATABASE=<Database> pgbench -h <Endpoint> -p 80 -c <Client_Num> -T <Query_Seconds> -M prepared -n -f /root/insert_on_conflict.sql
  • Sample results:

    transaction type: Custom query

Performance test on using Realtime Compute for Apache Flink to write data to Hologres in real time

You can perform this test to evaluate the performance of using Realtime Compute for Apache Flink to write data to Hologres in real time.

  • Hologres DDL

    In this example, a Hologres table that contains 10 columns is used. The key column is configured as the primary key. To create this Hologres table, you can execute the following DDL statements:

    DROP TABLE IF EXISTS flink_insert;
    
    BEGIN ;
    CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS flink_insert(
      key INT PRIMARY KEY
      ,value1 TEXT
      ,value2 TEXT
      ,value3 TEXT
      ,value4 TEXT
      ,value5 TEXT
      ,value6 TEXT
      ,value7 TEXT
      ,value8 TEXT
      ,value9 TEXT
    );
    CALL SET_TABLE_PROPERTY('flink_insert', 'orientation', 'row');
    CALL SET_TABLE_PROPERTY('flink_insert', 'clustering_key', 'key');
    CALL SET_TABLE_PROPERTY('flink_insert', 'distribution_key', 'key');
    COMMIT;
  • Scripts for a Flink job

    You can use the random number generator provided by fully managed Flink to write data to Hologres. If a primary key conflict occurs, the corresponding row of data is updated. Each row contains data of more than 512 bytes. You can run the following scripts to run a Flink job:
