Performance analysis and testing of HBase based on its architecture

Abstract

The development and wide application of the internet technology produces a large amount of data, in order to storage and manage these massive data, NoSQL database technology comes into beings and develops rapidly, many manufacturers have introduced many different NoSQL storage solutions. In this context, the paper carries out the work about the testing method of the performance of NoSQL database. Firstly, the paper analyses the new features of the NoSQL database systems. Then, the paper proposes a general testing model for performance testing of the complicated system, which means that the architecture and its business should be considered when the testing work is carried out. Lastly, apply the model to perform the HBase's performance testing in the architecture level, mainly including some elements of the performance, such as the column-oriented data model, the spilt mechanism of the data table, the factor of the data replication. As to the every performance element, design the corresponding testing scenario and execute the testing procedure.
