What are the Ledger Benchmark tests
The Ledger Benchmark tests provide a way to measure the performance of the Ledger component with a flexible and controlled workload. These benchmarks short-circuit chaincode and go directly to the transaction simulator. Also, for block creation, these benchmarks use a simple in-memory block-cutter.
These benchmarks first run insert transactions to populate the data and then run the read-write transactions on the populated data. The primary purpose of these benchmarks is to measure the throughput capacity of the ledger component and how it changes for a given workload.
How to Run The tests
In order to run the benchmarks, run the following command from folder fabric/core/ledger/kvledger/benchmark/scripts
./runbenchmarks.sh -f <test_parameter_file>.sh
The <test_parameter_file> is expected to contain the parameters for the benchmarks. A sample file (sample_params.sh) is provided. For running the bechmarks, it is advised to make a copy of the file sample_params.sh and change the parameters that you want to run the tests with. For more details on the parameters and the experiment results, see comments in the file sample_params.sh
