Hi Folks, I'm coming up with a set of decision criteria on when to chose traditional RDBMS vs various NoSQL options. So one aspect is the application requirements around Consistency, Availability, Partition Tolerance, Scalability, Data Modeling etc. These can be decided at a theoretical level.
Once we are sure we need NoSQL, to effectively benchmark the performance around use-cases or application workloads, we need a standard method. Some tools are specific to a database like cassandra's stress tool.The only tool I could find which seems to compare across NoSQL databases, and can be extended and is freely available is YCSB. Is YCSB updated for latest versions of cassandra and hbase? Does it work for Datastax enterprise? Is it regularly updated for new versions of NoSQL databases, or is this something we would need to take up as a development effort? Are there any shortcomings to using YCSB- and would it be preferable to develop own tool for performance benchmarking of NoSQL systems. Do share your thoughts.
