Getting Started

1. Download the latest release of YCSB:

   curl -O --location https://github.com/brianfrankcooper/YCSB/releases/download/0.6.0/ycsb-0.6.0.tar.gz
   tar xfvz ycsb-0.6.0.tar.gz
   cd ycsb-0.6.0

2. Set up a database to benchmark. There is a README file under each binding directory.

3. Run YCSB command.

   bin/ycsb load basic -P workloads/workloada
   bin/ycsb run basic -P workloads/workloada

Running the ycsb command without any argument will print the usage.

See https://github.com/brianfrankcooper/YCSB/wiki/Running-a-Workload for a detailed documentation on how to run a workload.

See https://github.com/brianfrankcooper/YCSB/wiki/Core-Properties for the list of available workload properties.

Building from source

YCSB requires the use of Maven 3; if you use Maven 2, you may see errors such as these.

To build the full distribution, with all database bindings:

mvn clean package

To build a single database binding:

mvn -pl com.yahoo.ycsb:mongodb-binding -am clean package
