Rather than listing the concepts, function calls, etc, available in Citus, which frankly is a bit boring, I’m going to explore scaling out a database system starting with a single host. And now, execute the benchmark: -- execute the following on the coordinator node pgbench -c 20 -j 3 -T 60 -P 3 pgbench The results are not pretty.

Therefore, before we attempt to measure our database performance, we should know the system or cloud instance to be tested in detail. sysbench is a widely used open-source benchmarking tool that is designed to evaluate the performance of CPU, memory, disk I/O, and database systems.

Depending on the configuration, one can tune a hardware RAID for either performance or redundancy. Now let’s stretch our imagination and consider a second method of high availability, ala Citus. The best way to describe the Citus way of doing things is to reflect how data is managed by a disk RAID array. citus_columnar | 11.1-1

An essential part of database performance testing is viewing the statistics generated by the database during the test and in 2009 HammerDB introduced automatic AWR snapshot generation for Oracle for the TPC-C test. With this feature Oracle generates a wealth of performance data that can be reviewed once the test is complete.

Let’s examine the TPC-C Benchmark from this point of view, or more specifically its implementation in Sysbench. Let’s now look at the operating system level. If we want to look at a response time based view of read vs write on an operating system, we can check out this disk IO Load graph. Not all writes are equal either.

However, TCP is typically implemented in the operating system’s (OS’) kernel, a secure and more restricted environment, which for most OSes isn’t even open source. As such, tuning congestion logic is usually only done by a select few developers, and evolution is slow. This multiplexing can happen in many different ways.

As discussed in part 2 , in HTTP/2, this multiplexing is steered using its prioritization system. As we also saw, however, this system was very complex , causing it to often be badly used and implemented in practice (see the image below). Nevertheless, the fundamental concepts of prioritization won’t change. What Does It All Mean?
