Event Ingestion with Persistance
HBase Event Store
This test involved setting up a 10-node HBase cluster with HDFS as the undrelying file system.
Versions
- WSO2 DAS 3.1.0
- Apache Hadoop 2.7.2
- Apache HBase 1.1.2
- Oracle Java Development Kit (JDK) v1.7 update 51 (1.7.0_51-b13).
Infrastructure used
- 3 DAS nodes (variable roles: publisher, receiver, analyzer and indexer): c4.2xlarge
- 1 HBase master and Hadoop Namenode: c3.2xlarge
- 9 HBase Regionservers and Hadoop Datanodes: c3.2xlarge
Scenario: Persisting 1 billion events from the Smart Home DAS Sample
This test was designed to test the data layer during sustained event publication. During testing, the TPS was around the 150K mark, and the memstore flush of the HBase cluster (which suspends all writes) and minor compaction operations brought it down in bursts. Overall, a mean of 96K TPS was achieved, but a steady rate of around 100-150K TPS is achievable, as opposed to the current no-flow-control situation.
The published data took around 950GB on the Hadoop filesystem, taking the HDFS-level replication into account.
| Events | 1000000000 |
| Time (in seconds) | 10391.768 |
| Mean TPS | 96230.01591 |
Scenario: Persisting the entire Wikipedia corpus
This test involved publishing the entirety of the Wikipedia dataset, where a single event comprises of one Wikipedia article (16.8M articles in total). Events vary greatly in size, with the mean being ~3.5KB. Here, a mean throughput of around 9K TPS was observed.
| Events | 16753779 |
| Time (s) | 1862.901 |
| Mean TPS | 8993.381291 |
Microsoft SQL Server Event Store
Infrastructure used
- c4.2xlarge Amazon EC2 instances as the DAS node
- Linux kernel 4.44, java version "1.8.0_131", JVM flags : -Xmx4g -Xms2g
- db.m4.2xlarge Amazon RDS instance with MS SQL Server Enterprise Edition 2016 as the database node
- Customized Thrift client as the data publisher (Thrift producer found in samples)
Scenario: Persisting 30 million events of Process Monitoring Events on MS SQL
This test involved persisting process monitoring events each of approximately 180 bytes. The test injected 30 million events into DAS with an input TPS of 40,000 events/second.
MySQL Event Store
Infrastructure used
- c4.2xlarge Amazon EC2 instances as the DAS node
- Linux kernel 4.44, java version "1.8.0_131", JVM flags : -Xmx4g -Xms2g
- db.m4.2xlarge Amazon RDS instance with MySQL Community Edition version 5.7 as the database node
- Customized Thrift client as the data publisher (Thrift producer found in samples)
Scenario: Persisting 12 million events of Process Monitoring Events on MySQL
This test involved persisting process monitoring events of approximately 180 bytes. The test injected 12 million events into DAS with an input TPS of 10,000 events/second.
MySQL Upper Limit
After around 12 million events are published, a sudden drop can be observed in receiver performance that can be considered as the upper limit of MySQL event store. In order to continue receiving events without a major performance degradation data has to be purged periodically before it reaches the upper limit. See https://docs.wso2.com/display/DAS310/Purging+Data for more information on configuring data purging.
In the event that data purging is not possible an HBase event store should be used.
Batch Analytics
The following topics describe the analyzer performance of WSO2 DAS.
Scenario: Running Spark queries on the 1 billion smart home published events
Spark queries from the Smart Home DAS sample were executed against the published data, and the analyzer node count was kept at 2 and 3 respectively for 2 separate tests. The SPARK JVMs were provided with following during the test.
- 1.36 processor cores
- 12GB of dedicated memory
The following results were observed.
- Over 1 million TPS on Spark for 2 analyzers
- About 1.3 million TPS for 3 analyzers.
The DAS GET operations (on HBase) make use of the HBase data locality aspect. This has the potential to perform the GET operations fast compared to random access.

Retrieving Results
Scenario: Retrieving Process Monitoring Data via REST API
Infrastructure used
- c4.xlarge Amazon EC2 instances as the DAS node
- Linux kernel 4.44, java version "1.8.0_131", JVM flags : -Xmx4g -Xms2g
- c4.xlarge Amazon EC2 instances MySQL Community Edition version 5.7 as the database node
This test was conducted on a test setup as shown in the following figure,
Using JMeter the DAS’s search REST API was invoked. Eighty JMeter users were used and they sent requests in a tight loop. The request was sent to query a single record from an event table via the DAS search API. In this experiment, the MySQL server’s event table had data which had been loaded in previous experiments. The experiment was run for 45 minutes. Average throughput value of 2839 events/second and an average latency of 29 ms was measured at the JMeter.
| API invocations per second | 2839 |
| Average Latency (ms) | 29 |
