Testing Tests to determine whether fcrepo4 ingest performance is impacted when more than ten thousand objects are stored with there is a lack of hierarchy in the JCR structure. There are two sets of tests here.

The tests were run on an EC2 m3.medium instance. Tests were run with the pre-configured Infinispan configurations available in the first hypothesis was that we'd see a slow down in ingest time at the ten thousand object mark. To test this, we ran tests of 30k records using benchtool and a Bash script written to alternate between the Inifinispan configurations available in the fcrepo4/fcrepo-configs repository (e.g., file, leveldb-default, leveldb, and and ram). These configurations were passed in as system properties when Fedora (via the jetty-maven-plugin) was started. Once Fedora was up, benchtool was used to ingest up to 30,000 objects and the resulting durations.log file was processed through gnuplot to generate a graph. A Bash script was written to automate this process. In the tests, ingest times across the various Infinispan configurations did not slow down significantly as more objects were ingested. Configurations, graphs, and benchtool log output are available below.The The tests were run on an EC2 m3.medium instance. The initial tests, documented below, did not indicate reveal a problem with a lack of hierarchy within the tested ranges. The hypothesis was that we'd see a significant slowdown around the ten thousand object mark, but the tests below seem to scale to the 30k object mark without significant slowdowns, though there is a slight uptick towards . However, there was an uptick at the end of the 30k 2MB object tests . The tests below that indicated more testing was warranted. When 60k object tests were run with benchtool's the default object size (1 KB) and, a second time, with 2 MB objects. With the uptick at the end of the larger 30k object tests, more testing is probably warranted.

Tests with 500k, 100k, and 60k objects were attempted, but were not able to be completed. The result of these attempts was a ticket to investigate an ExecutionError (seemingly related to transactions).

, there were exceptions thrown and the tests ended prematurely.

The second round of tests were designed to load a larger number of objects. The initial Bash script Update: Since there was a slight uptick at the end of the 30k 2 MB test, and there were problems with the larger ingests when using benchtool, the bash script mentioned above was modified to use curl, instead of benchtool. Ingests times for the curl ingests were output in the same way that benchtool does, and then run through gnuplot to generate a graph. The first test run was for 100k records. Only the leveldb-default configuration was used. Unlike the benchtool test, this test did not use multiple threads.

This test does show an ongoing gradual increase in the amount of time ingests take. The graph for this test is at the bottom of the page.

A new test to measure the ingest times with 1 million objects is underway. It's graph will be posted to this page when it's completed.

, to submit objects to fcrepo4. These tests were single threaded and attempted to load 100k, and then 500k, objects into a flat fcrepo4 structure. These tests ran without exception, but showed a definite slow down in the objects' ingest times as the number of objects ingested continued to grow. The second test (of 500k objects) was discontinued at 175k objects when the increase in ingest times was determined to be growing to the point of being prohibitively slow. The graphs for these tests are near the bottom of the page (the last two red graphs).

At the very bottom of this page are graphs from a test run by Ben Pennell, which shows a similar pattern in the timing of ingests of over 100k objects. He experienced the repository becoming non-responsive near the 200k object mark.
