Hi Rakesh,

First of all, the zookeeper ensemble consists of five Zookeeper servers. Also I 
have another 10 clients machines used to send write requests to Zookeeper. The 
benchmark code creates 5 threads (equal to number of Zookeeper server) , each 
thread associates with one Zookeeper server.  So, in this case, each zookeeper 
server will receive a set of write requests. The benchmark code runs for 30 
seconds. 

 Async tests: 

* Number of clients
In fact, I have different test, each test has different number of clients. For 
example, the bellow shows the latency corresponds to different number of 
clients:
Five clients: Latency min/avg/max: 235/366/515
Ten clients:  Latency min/avg/max: 252/368/505

* Number of threads
As explained above, each client creates 5 threads and each thread connects to 
one Zookeeper server. For instance, test using 5 clients’ machines, each 
Zookeeper server receives five threads. 

* data size storing in each znode
The data size store in znode is 100 bytes

Also, it would be good to monitor :

1) JVM stats(one way is through JMX) like heap, gc activities. This is to see 
if latency spike corresponds to gc activity or not.

If you mean by JVM stats the four word stat command, then  the latency result 
showed above is generated using this command. If you mean something else then I 
have to read about and tell you late on. 

2) Since you are doubting fsync, I think $ iostat would be helpful to see disk 
statistics. For example, $ iostat -d -x 2 10 and collects the disk latency.

Yes, the batch size that I use in SyncrequestProcessor class is 1000 requests. 
I think this is preferable size. Also, I will try to use iostat.
 
3) CPU usage through top or sar unix commands. I didn't use sar , but I could 
see it gives more details like percent of CPU running idle with a process 
waiting for block I/O etc.

Yes, I will use the top command to gathering the resource utilization. However, 
I don’t think top or sar will answer my question. Because I am thinking there 
is different between Asynchroned and Synchronized mode for measuring the 
latency.  

Thank you for your attention

I look forward to hearing from you


Ibrahim

Hi Ibrahim,

In async tests, could you give the details like:

* number of clients
* number of threads
* data size storing in each znode

Also, it would be good to monitor :

1) JVM stats(one way is through JMX) like heap, gc activities. This is to see 
if latency spike corresponds to gc activity or not.

2) Since you are doubting fsync, I think $ iostat would be helpful to see disk 
statistics. For example, $ iostat -d -x 2 10 and collects the disk latency.

3) CPU usage through top or sar unix commands. I didn't use sar , but I could 
see it gives more details like percent of CPU running idle with a process 
waiting for block I/O etc.
