-The qpid-perftests distributed JMS test framework
-=================================================
-
-This folder contains the distributed test (aka Perf Test) framework written for
-testing the performance of a JMS provider. Although it was written for the
-purpose of testing Qpid, it can be used to test the performance of any JMS
-provider with minimal configuration changes.
-
-This document explains how to use the framework.
-
-
-How it works
-------------
-
-First, you need to run a message broker. This can be Qpid, ActiveMQ etc. All
-messages are sent using the JMS API.
-
-Then run a Perf Test Controller, providing the details of the test in either or
-a JSON or Javascript file. This specifies details about the messages to send,
-how many connections and sessions to use etc. There are a lot of options
-available - see the .js and .json files under this folder for examples.
-
-Now run one or more Perf Test Client processes. These will be responsible for
-sending/receiving the messages once the test starts. For convenience, you can
-instead configure the Controller to start clients in-process. The clients and
-the controller communicate using queues on the message broker.
-
-The test results are written to CSV files.
-
-You can use the qpid-perftests-visualisation tool to create charts from the CSV files.
-
-Example usage
--------------
-
-The etc/ folder contains shell scripts that can be used to run the performance
-tests and visualise the results. It also contains sub-folders for test config
-and chart definitions.
-
-Instructions
-------------
-
-1. Extract the archive
-
-2. cd into the etc/ folder
-
-3. Start your JMS broker
-
-4. To run the Controller and clients in a single process, run the following
-command:
-
-java -cp ".:../lib/*:/path/to/your-jms-client-jars/*" \
- -Dqpid.dest_syntax=BURL \
- org.apache.qpid.disttest.ControllerRunner \
- jndi-config=perftests-jndi.properties \
- test-config=/path/to/test-config.json \
- distributed=false
-
-Note that the test-config parameter can point at either a JSON or Javascript
-file, or at a directory (in which case all the .json and .js files in the
-directory are used.
-
-When the test is complete, the CSV files containing the results are written to
-the current directory.
-
-
-Running the clients in a separate process
------------------------------------------
-
-When using a large number of clients, you may get more representative
-performance results if the clients are distributed among multiple processes,
-potentially on multiple machines. To do this:
-
-1. Run the Controller, providing distributed=true.
-
-2. Run your clients (assuming you want to launch 10 logical clients in this
-process):
-
-java -cp ".:../lib/*:/path/to/your-jms-client-jars/*" \
- -Dqpid.dest_syntax=BURL \
- org.apache.qpid.disttest.ClientRunner \
- jndi-config=perftests-jndi.properties \
- number-of-clients=10
-
-
-Caveats for non-Qpid JMS providers
-----------------------------------
-
-If you are not using the Qpid broker, you must create one or more queues before
-running the test. This is necessary because you can't use Qpid's API to create
-queues on the broker. The queues are:
-
-– The controller queue. You can specify the physical name of this in
-etc/perftests-jndi.properties. This queue is used by the clients to register
-with the Controller and to send results to it.
-– the queue(s) used by your JSON test configuration (unless you have configured
-a vendor-specific queue creator).
-
-You must also override the Controller's default queue creator using the system
-property qpid.disttest.queue.creator.class. Provide the class name of an
-implementation of org.apache.qpid.disttest.jms.QueueCreator, or
-org.apache.qpid.disttest.jms.NoOpQueueCreator if you are going to create and
-delete the queues manually.
-
-You can also omit the qpid.dest_syntax system property if your JMS provider is
-not Qpid.
