Hi Leslie,

Thanks for your reply.

We have some data in MySQL database and some PDF documents. We want to  
index them and let our user to use. So we decide to use the Elasticsearch.  
Before using the ElsaticSearch, we want to know the performance of the  
Elasticsearch, so we want to do benchmark of the Elasticsearch. However, we  
don't know how to do. I'm not sure if I express my question clearly.

Best,  
Jianjun

Hi Jianjun,

Thank you for the additional details. I think we will need some more  
information but I will let someone who is better skilled at benchmarking  
Elasticsearch ask you about it.

Welcome to the mailing list! We are happy to have you here and to help.

Cheers,  
LH

The best way to know is to test it yourself.  
It's very dependant on your hardware, your settings and the data that you  
are indexing.

Hello!

Depends on what you want to test. If you want to test indexing - start from scratch, see how many documents you can index with the clean Elasticsearch cluster, when you start to see slowdowns. Try seeing what the bottleneck is if any. In general, such tests depend on how much data you have and how much indexing you are planning to do.

If you want to test querying performance - start with some setup that you assume should be OK. Index your data and start testing, for example by sending production like queries with JMeter. That will give you information on how the cluster behaves in such setup. Then you can change the deployment and tune. For example adding replicas, re-sharding and having more/less shards, depending on the data and its volume.

During all tests, you should be monitoring your cluster. You can use anything available, although for performance testing anything will be good, even the command line tools that will help you understand what is happening on the operating system level, how garbage collector is performing.

Could you please give me some more detailed suggestions on how to test the elasticsearch? thanks.

It's very dependant on your hardware, your settings and the data that you are indexing.

Hi Jianjun,

Thank you for the additional details. I think we will need some more information but I will let someone who is better skilled at benchmarking Elasticsearch ask you about it.

Welcome to the mailing list! We are happy to have you here and to help.

Hi Leslie,

Thanks for your reply.

We have some data in MySQL database and some PDF documents. We want to index them and let our user to use. So we decide to use the ElasticSearch. Before using the ElsaticSearch, we want to know the performance of the ElasticSearch, so we want to do benchmark of the ElasticSearch. However, we don't know how to do. I'm not sure if I express my question clearly.

Best,

Jianjun

The answer to this question is "it depends." It would be very helpful to describe a bit more about what you are working on so people can give a better answer to you. 🙂

Hi Rafał,

Can't the JMeter be used to test the indexing performance?

Can I adding replicas and re-sharding on my virtual machine? The OS of my  
PC is Windows 7. I use VirtualBox Debian for testing Elasticsearch.

Which tool is suitable for monitoring the cluster, OS and the garbage?

Regards,

Jianjun

I want to use some third party tools to test the indexing/querying  
performance of the Elasticsearch. I think maybe it is easy.

I benchmark Elasticsearch and my application together by replaying searches  
from my old search system against the one I'm deploying. I've benchmarked  
indexing in the past just by jamming data in really fast. My experience  
has been that if I find Elasticsearch is slow it is because I need to tweek  
some setting or change the instructions I send to it.

Example 1:  
I sped up rebuilding my index from scratch by 2.5x by turning off replicas  
while rebuilding the index and setting the refresh interval to -1 during  
the process. Adding the replicas later is much faster and causes much less  
load on the servers.

Example 2:  
The plain highlighter is very slow at fuzzy queries so I don't use it for  
them.

Example 3:  
The phrase suggester was slow for large queries if I set the maximum number  
of errors to correct to a big number (5). When I set it to a small number  
(2) it was much faster.

Stuff like that.
