A Study of YCSB –tool for measuring a performance of NOSQL databases

Abstract

Day by day the massive amount of data increased through various sources in various formats. Mostly the semi-structured and unstructured data has been generated, which causes the performance of RDBMS. This is generated the need of special databases viz NOSQL. Each Nosql database has its own strength and weaknesses; hence the business organization has facing the problem while selection .There is no standard framework which can suggest the selection of database system. Therefore, the performance is an important factor for deciding which database will be used for enterprises and applications. Therefore, it is necessary to compare and analyze the execution time of difference NoSQL databases, and provide a performance reference. Currently, there are more than 150 NoSQL databases with diverse features and optimizations [1], and a number of NoSQL databases provide all new features and advantages while keeping data consistent or even eventually consistent, depending on the system needs. The YCSB plays an important role in comparison of various NOSQL databases performance evaluation. The aim of this paper to study of YCSB benchmark tool for comparing performance of NOSQL database. This paper mainly focuses on literature review. This work will help the academic researcher those are working on NOSQL database performance issues for their work.
