## ClickHouse performance tests
|
|
|
|
This directory contains `.xml`-files with performance tests for `clickhouse-performance-test` tool.
|
|
|
|
### How to write performance test
|
|
|
|
First of all you should check existing tests don't cover your case. If there are no such tests than you should write your own.
|
|
|
|
There two types of performance tests:
|
|
* First is executed in loop, and have tag `<type>loop</type>` in config.
|
|
* Second one is executed only once and have tag `<type>once</type>` in config.
|
|
|
|
Type `once` should be used only for endless queries. Even if your query really long (10 seconds+), it's better to choose `loop` test.
|
|
|
|
After you have choosen type, you have to specify `preconditions`. It contains table names. Only `hits_100m_single`, `hits_10m_single`, `test.hits` are available in CI.
|
|
|
|
The most important part of test is `stop_conditions`. For `loop` test you should always use `min_time_not_changing_for_ms` stop condition. For `once` test you can choose between `average_speed_not_changing_for_ms` and `max_speed_not_changing_for_ms`, but first is preferable. Also you should always specify `total_time_ms` metric. Endless tests will be ignored by CI.
|
|
|
|
`metrics` and `main_metric` settings are not important and can be ommited, because `loop` tests are always compared by `min_time` metric and `once` tests compared by `max_rows_per_second`.
|
|
|
|
You can use `substitions`, `create`, `fill` and `drop` queries to prepare test. You can find examples in this folder.
|
|
|
|
Take into account, that these tests will run in CI which consists of 56-cores and 512 RAM machines. Queries will be executed much faster than on local laptop.

|
### How to run performance test
|
|
|
|
You have to run clickhouse-server and after you can start testing:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
$ clickhouse-performance-test --input-file my_lovely_test1.xml --input-file my_lovely_test2.xml
|
|
$ clickhouse-performance-test --input-file /my_lovely_test_dir/
|
|
```
