Bulk Inserts Comparison: MongoDB, CouchDB, ArangoDB ’12

In the last couple of posts, we have been looking at ArangoDB’s insert performance when using individual document insert, delete, and update operations. This time we’ll be looking at batched inserts. To have some reference, we’ll compare the results of ArangoDB to what can be achieved with CouchDB and MongoDB.

Bulk Insert Benchmark Tool | ArangoDB 2012

To easily conduct bulk insert benchmarks with different NoSQL databases, we wrapped a small benchmark tool in PHP. The tool can be used to measure the time it takes to bulk upload data into MongoDB, CouchDB, and ArangoDB using the databases’ bulk documents APIs.

ArangoDB 2012: Additional Results for Mixed Workload

In a comment to the last post, there was a request to conduct some benchmarks with a mixed workload that does not test insert/delete/update/get operations in isolation but when they work together.

To do this, I put together a quick benchmark that inserts 10,000 documents, and after each insert either

  • directly fetches the inserted document (i.e. insert / get),
  • updates the inserted documents and retrieves it (i.e. insert / update / get), or
  • deletes it (i.e. insert / delete)

The three cases are alternated deterministically, meaning each case occurs with the same frequency and in the same order. It’s probably still not the best ever test case, but at least it reflects a mixed read and write workload.

The document ids used in the test were monotically increasing integers, starting from some base value. That means no random values were used.

The test was repeated for 100,000 documents as well. The dataset still fully fits in RAM. The tests were run in the same environment as the previous tests so one can compare them.

The results are in line with the results shown in the previous post. Here’s the chart with the results of the 10,000 documents benchmark:

times combined 10000

And here are the tests result for the 100,000 documents benchmark:

Data Modeling in a Schema-Free Environment | ArangoDB 2012

Jan Steemann giving a talk on nosql data modelling at FrosconWe just came back from FroSCon, a large, international open source conference near Bonn, Germany. Jan Steemann, one of the core developers of ArangoDB, had a talk on modelling data in a schema-free world. Jan was given the largest room in the conference for this talk, fortunately a lot of people showed up and even stayed ;-).

You can find Jan’s presentation below.

ArangoDB vs. CouchDB Benchmarking | ArangoDB 2012

A side-effect of measuring the impact of different journal sizes was that we generated some performance test results for CouchDB, too. They weren’t included in the previous post because it was about journal sizes in ArangoDB, but now we think it’s time to share them.

ArangoDB 2012: Exploring Additional Datafile Sizes

A while ago we wrote some blog article that explained how ArangoDB uses disk space. That article compared the disk usage of ArangoDB, CouchDB, and MongoDB for loading some particular datasets. In this post, we’ll show in more detail the disk usage of ArangoDB for insert, update, and delete operations. We’ll also compare it to CouchDB for reference.
