RediSearchBenchmark

README

document-benchmark

This is a Go application (originally written by Dvir Volk) which supports reading, indexing and searching using two search engines:

• RediSearch
• Elasticsearch

with the following datasets:

• Wikipedia Abstract Data Dumps: from English-language Wikipedia:Database page abstracts. This use case generates 3 TEXT fields per document.
• pmc: Full text benchmark with academic papers from PMC.

Getting Started

Download Standalone binaries ( no Golang needed )

If you don't have go on your machine and just want to use the produced binaries you can download the following prebuilt bins:

https://github.com/RediSearch/RediSearchBenchmark/releases/latest

OS	Arch	Link
Windows	amd64 (64-bit X86)	document-benchmark-windows-amd64.exe
Linux	amd64 (64-bit X86)	document-benchmark-linux-amd64
Linux	arm64 (64-bit ARM)	document-benchmark-linux-arm64
Darwin	amd64 (64-bit X86)	document-benchmark-darwin-amd64
Darwin	arm64 (64-bit ARM)	document-benchmark-darwin-arm64

Here's how bash script to download and try it:

wget -c https://github.com/RediSearch/RediSearchBenchmark/releases/latest/download/document-benchmark-$(uname -mrs | awk '{ print tolower($1) }')-$(dpkg --print-architecture).tar.gz -O - | tar -xz

# give it a try
./document-benchmark --help

Installation in a Golang env

The easiest way to get and install the benchmark utility with a Go Env is to use go get and then go install:

# Fetch this repo
go get github.com/RediSearch/RediSearchBenchmark
cd $GOPATH/src/github.com/RediSearch/RediSearchBenchmark
make

Try it out

To try it out locally we can use docker in the following manner to spin up both a Redis and Elastic environments:

sudo sysctl -w vm.max_map_count=262144
docker run -d -p 9200:9200 -p 9300:9300 -e "ELASTIC_PASSWORD=password"  docker.elastic.co/elasticsearch/elasticsearch:8.3.3
docker run -d -p 6379:6379 redis/redis-stack:edge

• Retrieve the wikipedia dataset, and populate with 1000000 documents:

wget https://s3.amazonaws.com/benchmarks.redislabs/redisearch/datasets/enwiki-abstract/enwiki-latest-abstract.xml

• Populate into RediSearch:

./bin/document-benchmark -hosts "127.0.0.1:6379" -engine redis -file enwiki-latest-abstract.xml -maxdocs 100000

• Populate into ElasticSearch:

./bin/document-benchmark -hosts "https://127.0.0.1:9200" -engine elastic -password "password" -file enwiki-latest-abstract.xml -maxdocs 100000

• Run the RediSearch benchmark:

./bin/document-benchmark -hosts "127.0.0.1:6379" -engine redis -benchmark search -file enwiki-latest-abstract.xml

• Run the ElasticSearch benchmark:

./bin/document-benchmark -hosts "https://127.0.0.1:9200" -engine elastic -password "password" -file enwiki-latest-abstract.xml -benchmark search
