       MEMCACHED_SERVERS

DESCRIPTION

       memaslap  is  a  load  generation  and  benchmark tool for memcached servers. It generates
       configurable workload such as threads, concurrencies, connections,  run  time,  overwrite,
       miss  rate,  key  size,  value  size,  get/set proportion, expected throughput, and so on.
       Furthermore, it also testss  data  verification,  expire-time  verification,  UDP,  binary
       protocol, facebook test, replication test, multi-get and reconnection, etc.

       Memaslap manages network connections like memcached with libevent. Each thread of memaslap
       is bound with a CPU core, all the threads don't communicate with each other, and there are
       several  socket  connections  in each thread. Each connection keeps key size distribution,
       value size distribution, and command distribution by itself.

       You can specify servers via the memslap --servers option or via the  environment  variable
       MEMCACHED_SERVERS.

FEATURES

       Memslap is developed to for the following purposes:

       Manages network connections with libevent asynchronously.

       Set both TCP and UDP up to use non-blocking IO.

       Improves parallelism: higher performance in multi-threads environments.

       Improves time efficiency: faster processing speed.

       Generates   key  and  value  more  efficiently;  key  size  distribution  and  value  size
       distribution are configurable.

       Supports get, multi-get, and set commands; command distribution is configurable.

       Supports controllable miss rate and overwrite rate.

       Supports data and expire-time verification.

       Supports dumping statistic information periodically.

       Supports thousands of TCP connections.

       Supports binary protocol.

       Supports facebook test (set with TCP and multi-get with UDP) and replication test.

DETAILS

   Effective implementation of network.
       For memaslap, both TCP and UDP use non-blocking network IO. All  the  network  events  are
       managed  by libevent as memcached. The network module of memaslap is similar to memcached.
       Libevent can ensure memaslap can handle network very efficiently.

   Effective implementation of multi-threads and concurrency
       Memslap has the similar implementation of multi-threads to memcached. Memslap creates  one
       or more self-governed threads; each thread is bound with one CPU core if the system testss
       setting CPU core affinity.

       In addition, each thread has a libevent to manage the events of the network;  each  thread
       has  one  or more self-governed concurrencies; and each concurrency has one or more socket
       connections. All the concurrencies don’t communicate with each other even though they  are
       in the same thread.

       Memslap  can  create  thousands  of  socket  connections, and each concurrency has tens of
       socket  connections.  Each  concurrency  randomly  or  sequentially  selects  one   socket
       connection from its socket connection pool to run, so memaslap can ensure each concurrency
       handles one socket connection  at  any  given  time.  Users  can  specify  the  number  of
       concurrency  and  socket  connections  of  each  concurrency  according  to their expected
       workload.

   Effective implementation of generating key and value
       In order to improve time efficiency  and  space  efficiency,  memaslap  creates  a  random
       characters  table  with  10M characters. All the suffixes of keys and values are generated
       from this random characters table.

       Memslap uses the offset in the character table and the length of the string to identify  a
       string.  It can save much memory.  Each key contains two parts, a prefix and a suffix. The
       prefix is an uint64_t, 8 bytes. In order to verify the data set before, memaslap  need  to
       ensure  each  key  is  unique,  so it uses the prefix to identify a key. The prefix cannot
       include illegal characters, such as ‘r’, ‘n’, ‘0’ and ‘ ‘. And memaslap has  an  algorithm
       to ensure that.

       Memslap  doesn’t  generate  all  the  objects  (key-value pairs) at the beginning. It only
       generates  enough  objects  to  fill  the  task  window  (default  10K  objects)  of  each
       concurrency.  Each  object  has  the  following  basic information, key prefix, key suffix
       offset in the character table, key length, value offset in the character table, and  value
       length.

       In  the work process, each concurrency sequentially or randomly selects an object from the
       window to do set operation or get operation. At the  same  time,  each  concurrency  kicks
       objects out of its window and adds new object into it.

   Simple but useful task scheduling
       Memslap  uses  libevent to schedule all the concurrencies of threads, and each concurrency
       schedules tasks based on the local task window. Memslap assumes that if  each  concurrency
       keeps  the  same  key  distribution,  value  distribution  and commands distribution, from
       outside, memaslap keeps all the distribution as a whole.  Each task window includes a  lot
       of objects, each object stores its basic information, such as key, value, expire time, and
       so on. At any time, all the objects in the window keep the same and fixed  key  and  value
       distribution.  If  an  object  is  overwritten,  the  value of the object will be updated.
       Memslap verifies the data or expire-time according to the object information stored in the
       task window.

       Libevent  selects  which concurrency to handle based on a specific network event. Then the
       concurrency  selects  which  command  (get  or  set)  to  operate  based  on  the  command
       distribution. If it needs to kick out an old object and add a new object, in order to keep
       the same key and value distribution, the new object must have  the  same  key  length  and
       value length.

       If memcached server has two cache layers (memory and SSD), running memaslap with different
       window sizes can get different cache miss rates. If memaslap adds enough objects into  the
       windows  at  the  beginning,  and  the  cache  of  memcached  cannot store all the objects
       initialized, then memaslap will get some objects from the second cache  layer.  It  causes
       the first cache layer to miss. So the user can specify the window size to get the expected
       miss rate of the first cache layer.

   Useful implementation of multi-servers , UDP, TCP, multi-get and binary protocol
       Because each thread is self-governed, memaslap can  assign  different  threads  to  handle
       different memcached servers. This is just one of the ways in which memaslap tests multiple
       servers. The only limitation is that the number of servers  cannot  be  greater  than  the
       number  of  threads.  The other way to test multiple servers is for replication test. Each
       concurrency has one socket connection to each memcached server.  For  the  implementation,
       memaslap  can  set  some  objects  to one memcached server, and get these objects from the
       other servers.

       By default, Memslap does single get. If the user specifies multi-get option, memaslap will
       collect enough get commands and pack and send the commands together.

       Memslap  testss  both  the  ASCII  protocol  and binary protocol, but it runs on the ASCII
       protocol by default.  Memslap by default runs on the TCP protocol, but it also tests  UDP.
       Because  UDP  is unreliable, dropped packages and out-of-order packages may occur. Memslap
       creates a memory buffer to handle these problems. Memslap tries to read all  the  response
       data  of  one command from the server and reorders the response data. If some packages get
       lost, the waiting timeout mechanism can ensure half-baked packages will be  discarded  and
       the next command will be sent.

USAGE

       Below are some usage samples:

       memaslap -s 127.0.0.1:11211 -S 5s

       memaslap -s 127.0.0.1:11211 -t 2m -v 0.2 -e 0.05 -b

       memaslap -s 127.0.0.1:11211 -F config -t 2m -w 40k -S 20s -o 0.2

       memaslap -s 127.0.0.1:11211 -F config -t 2m -T 4 -c 128 -d 20 -P 40k

       memaslap -s 127.0.0.1:11211 -F config -t 2m -d 50 -a -n 40

       memaslap -s 127.0.0.1:11211,127.0.0.1:11212 -F config -t 2m

       memaslap -s 127.0.0.1:11211,127.0.0.1:11212 -F config -t 2m -p 2

       The user must specify one server at least to run memaslap. The rest of the parameters have
       default values, as shown below:

       Thread number = 1                    Concurrency = 16

       Run time = 600 seconds                Configuration file = NULL

       Key size = 64                         Value size = 1024

       Get/set = 9:1                         Window size = 10k

       Execute number = 0                   Single get = true

       Multi-get = false                      Number of sockets of each concurrency = 1

       Reconnect = false                     Data verification = false

       Expire-time verification = false           ASCII protocol = true

       Binary protocol = false                 Dumping statistic information

       periodically = false

       Overwrite proportion = 0%             UDP = false

       TCP = true                           Limit throughput = false

       Facebook test = false                  Replication test = false

   Key size, value size and command distribution.
       All the distributions are  read  from  the  configuration  file  specified  by  user  with
       “—cfg_cmd”  option.  If  the user does not specify a configuration file, memaslap will run
       with the default distribution (key size = 64, value size  =  1024,  get/set  =  9:1).  For
       information  on  how  to  edit  the  configuration file, refer to the “Configuration File”
       section.

       The minimum key size is 16 bytes; the maximum key size is  250  bytes.  The  precision  of
       proportion is 0.001. The proportion of distribution will be rounded to 3 decimal places.

       The  minimum  value  size is 1 bytes; the maximum value size is 1M bytes. The precision of
       proportion is 0.001. The proportion of distribution will be rounded to 3  decimal  places.
       Currently, memaslap only testss set and get commands. And it testss 100% set and 100% get.
       For 100% get, it will preset some objects to the server.

   Multi-thread and concurrency
       The high performance of  memaslap  benefits  from  the  special  schedule  of  thread  and
       concurrency.  It’s  important  to specify the proper number of them. The default number of
       threads is 1; the default number of concurrency is 16. The user  can  use  “—threads”  and
       “--concurrency” to specify these variables.

       If  the  system tests setting CPU affinity and the number of threads specified by the user
       is greater than 1, memaslap will try to bind each thread to a different CPU  core.  So  if
       you  want  to  get  the  best  performance memaslap, it is better to specify the number of
       thread equal to the number of CPU cores. The number of threads specified by the  user  can
       also  be  less  or  greater  than  the  number  of CPU cores. Because of the limitation of
       implementation, the number of concurrencies  could  be  the  multiple  of  the  number  of
       threads.

       1. For 8 CPU cores system

       For example:

       --threads=2 --concurrency=128

       --threads=8 --concurrency=128

       --threads=8 --concurrency=256

       --threads=12 --concurrency=144

       2. For 16 CPU cores system

       For example:

       --threads=8 --concurrency=128

       --threads=16 --concurrency=256

       --threads=16 --concurrency=512

       --threads=24 --concurrency=288

       The  memaslap  performs very well, when used to test the performance of memcached servers.
       Most of the time, the bottleneck is the network or the server. If for some reason the user
       wants to limit the performance of memaslap, there are two ways to do this:

       Decrease  the  number  of threads and concurrencies.  Use the option “--tps” that memaslap
       provides to limit the throughput.  This  option  allows  the  user  to  get  the  expected
       throughput.  For  example,  assume that the maximum throughput is 50 kops/s for a specific
       configuration, you can specify the throughput equal to or less than the maximum throughput
       using “--tps” option.

   Window size
       Most  of  the  time, the user does not need to specify the window size. The default window
       size is 10k. For Schooner Memcached, the user can specify different window  sizes  to  get
       different  cache miss rates based on the test case. Memslap testss cache miss rate between
       0% and 100%.  If you use this utility to test the performance of Schooner  Memcached,  you
       can  specify  a  proper  window  size to get the expected cache miss rate. The formula for
       calculating window size is as follows:

       Assume that  the  key  size  is  128  bytes,  and  the  value  size  is  2048  bytes,  and
       concurrency=128.

       1. Small cache cache_size=1M, 100% cache miss (all data get from SSD).  win_size=10k

       2. cache_size=4G

       (1). cache miss rate 0%

       win_size=8k

       (2). cache miss rate 5%

       win_size=11k

       3. cache_size=16G

       (1). cache miss rate 0%

       win_size=32k

       (2). cache miss

       rate 5%

       win_size=46k

       The formula for calculating window size for cache miss rate 0%:

       cache_size / concurrency / (key_size + value_size) * 0.5

       The formula for calculating window size for cache miss rate 5%:

       cache_size / concurrency / (key_size + value_size) * 0.7

   Verification
       Memslap  testss  both  data  verification  and  expire-time verification. The user can use
       "--verify=" or "-v" to specify the proportion of data verification. In theory,  it  testss
       100% data verification. The user can use "--exp_verify=" or "-e" to specify the proportion
       of expire-time verification. In theory, it testss 100% expire-time  verification.  Specify
       the "--verbose" options to get more detailed error information.

       For  example:  --exp_verify=0.01  –verify=0.1  ,  it means that 1% of the objects set with
       expire-time, 10% of the objects gotten will  be  verified.  If  the  objects  are  gotten,
       memaslap will verify the expire-time and value.

   multi-servers and multi-config
       Memslap  testss  multi-servers  based on self-governed thread.  There is a limitation that
       the number of servers cannot be greater than the number of threads.  Memslap  assigns  one
       thread  to handle one server at least. The user can use the "--servers=" or "-s" option to
       specify multi-servers.

       For example:

       --servers=10.1.1.1:11211,10.1.1.2:11212,10.1.1.3:11213 --threads=6 --concurrency=36

       The above command means that there are 6 threads, with each thread having 6  concurrencies
       and  that  threads  0  and  3  handle server 0 (10.1.1.1); threads 1 and 4 handle server 1
       (10.1.1.2); and thread 2 and 5 handle server 2 (10.1.1.3).

       All the threads and concurrencies in memaslap are self-governed.

       So is memaslap. The user can start  up  several  memaslap  instances.  The  user  can  run
       memaslap on different client machines to communicate with the same memcached server at the
       same. It is recommended that the user start different memaslap on different machines using
       the same configuration.

   Run with execute number mode or time mode
       The  default memaslap runs with time mode. The default run time is 10 minutes. If it times
       out, memaslap will exit. Do not specify both execute number mode and time mode at the same
       time; just specify one instead.

       For example:

       --time=30s (It means the test will run 30 seconds.)

       --execute_number=100000 (It means that after running 100000 commands, the test will exit.)

   Dump statistic information periodically.
       The user can use "--stat_freq=" or "-S" to specify the frequency.

       For example:

       --stat_freq=20s

       Memslap  will  dump the statistics of the commands (get and set) at the frequency of every
       20 seconds.

       For more information on the format of dumping statistic information, refer to  “Format  of
       Output” section.

   Multi-get
       The  user  can  use  "--division="  or  "-d"  to specify multi-get keys count.  Memslap by
       default does single get with TCP. Memslap also testss data  verification  and  expire-time
       verification for multi-get.

       Memslap testss multi-get with both TCP and UDP. Because of the different implementation of
       the ASCII protocol and binary protocol, there are some differences between  the  two.  For
       the  ASCII  protocol,  memaslap  sends  one “multi-get” to the server once. For the binary
       protocol, memaslap sends several single  get  commands  together  as  “multi-get”  to  the
       server.

   UDP and TCP
       Memslap testss both UDP and TCP. For TCP, memaslap does not reconnect the memcached server
       if socket connections are lost. If all the socket connections are lost or memcached server
       crashes,  memaslap  will  exit. If the user specifies the “--reconnect” option when socket
       connections are lost, it will reconnect them.

       User can use “--udp” to enable the UDP feature, but UDP comes with some limitations:

       UDP cannot set data more than 1400 bytes.

       UDP is not testsed by the binary protocol because the binary protocol  of  memcached  does
       not tests that.

       UDP doesn’t tests reconnection.

   Facebook test
       Set data with TCP and multi-get with UDP. Specify the following options:

       "--facebook --division=50"

       If you want to create thousands of TCP connections, specify the

       "--conn_sock=" option.

       For example: --facebook --division=50 --conn_sock=200

       The  above  command  means  that  memaslap will do facebook test, each concurrency has 200
       socket TCP connections and one UDP socket.

       Memslap sets objects with the TCP socket, and multi-gets 50  objects  once  with  the  UDP
       socket.

       If  you  specify  "--division=50", the key size must be less that 25 bytes because the UDP
       packet size is 1400 bytes.

   Replication test
       For replication test, the user must specify at least two memcached servers.  The user  can
       use “—rep_write=” option to enable feature.

       For example:

       --servers=10.1.1.1:11211,10.1.1.2:11212 –rep_write=2

       The  above command means that there are 2 replication memcached servers, memaslap will set
       objects to both server 0 and server 1, get objects which are set to server 0  before  from
       server 1, and also get objects which are set to server 1 before from server 0. If server 0
       crashes, memaslap will only get objects from server 1. If server  0  comes  back  to  life
       again,  memaslap  will  reconnect  server 0. If both server 0 and server 1 crash, memaslap
       will exit.

   Supports thousands of TCP connections
       Start memaslap with "--conn_sock=" or "-n" to enable this feature.  Make  sure  that  your
       system  can  tests  opening thousands of files and creating thousands of sockets. However,
       this feature does not tests reconnection if sockets disconnect.

       For example:

       --threads=8 --concurrency=128 --conn_sock=128

       The  above  command  means  that  memaslap  starts  up  8  threads,  each  thread  has  16
       concurrencies,  each  concurrency  has 128 TCP socket connections, and the total number of
       TCP socket connections is 128 * 128 = 16384.

   Supports binary protocol
       Start memaslap with "--binary" or "-B" options to enable this feature. It testss  all  the
       above  features  except  UDP, because the latest memcached 1.3.3 does not implement binary
       UDP protocol.

       For example:

       --binary

       Since memcached 1.3.3 doesn't implement binary UDP protocol, memaslap does not tests  UDP.
       In  addition,  memcached  1.3.3  does  not tests multi-get. If you specify "--division=50"
       option, it just sends 50 get commands together as “mulit-get” to the server.

CONFIGURATION FILE

       This section describes  the  format  of  the  configuration  file.   By  default  when  no
       configuration file is specified memaslap reads the default one located at ~/.memaslap.cnf.

       Below is a sample configuration file:

       ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
       #comments should start with '#'
       #key

       #start_len must be equal to or greater than end_len
       #memaslap will generate keys according to the key range
