How to Test Your Hardware with ClickHouse

You can run basic ClickHouse performance test on any server without installation of ClickHouse packages.

Automated Run

You can run benchmark with a single script.

1. Download the script.

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/master/benchmark/hardware.sh

2. Run the script.

chmod a+x ./hardware.sh
./hardware.sh

3. Copy the output and send it to feedback@clickhouse.com

Manual Run

Alternatively you can perform benchmark in the following steps.

1. ssh to the server and download the binary with wget:

# For amd64:
wget https://builds.clickhouse.com/master/amd64/clickhouse
# For aarch64:
wget https://builds.clickhouse.com/master/aarch64/clickhouse
# For powerpc64le:
wget https://builds.clickhouse.com/master/powerpc64le/clickhouse
# For freebsd:
wget https://builds.clickhouse.com/master/freebsd/clickhouse
# For freebsd-aarch64:
wget https://builds.clickhouse.com/master/freebsd-aarch64/clickhouse
# For freebsd-powerpc64le:
wget https://builds.clickhouse.com/master/freebsd-powerpc64le/clickhouse
# For macos:
wget https://builds.clickhouse.com/master/macos/clickhouse
# For macos-aarch64:
wget https://builds.clickhouse.com/master/macos-aarch64/clickhouse
# Then do:
chmod a+x clickhouse

2. Download benchmark files:

wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/master/benchmark/clickhouse/benchmark-new.sh
chmod a+x benchmark-new.sh
wget https://raw.githubusercontent.com/ClickHouse/ClickHouse/master/benchmark/clickhouse/queries.sql

3. Download the web analytics dataset (“hits” table containing 100 million rows).

wget https://datasets.clickhouse.com/hits/partitions/hits_100m_obfuscated_v1.tar.xz
tar xvf hits_100m_obfuscated_v1.tar.xz -C .
mv hits_100m_obfuscated_v1/* .

4. Run the server:

./clickhouse server

5. Check the data: ssh to the server in another terminal

./clickhouse client --query "SELECT count() FROM hits_100m_obfuscated"
100000000

6. Run the benchmark:

./benchmark-new.sh hits_100m_obfuscated

7. Send the numbers and the info about your hardware configuration to feedback@clickhouse.com
