In this post I’ll share the results of a sysbench-mongodb benchmark I performed on my server. I compared MMAP, WiredTiger, RocksDB and TokuMXse (based on MongoDB 3.0) and TokuMX (based on MongoDB 2.4) in an IO-intensive workload.
The full results are available here, and below I’ll just share the summary chart:
I would like to highlight that this benchmark was designed to emulate a heavy IO load on a (relatively) slow IO subsystem. This use case, I believe, is totally valid and represents frequently used “cloud” setups with limited memory and slow IO.
The WiredTiger engine, as B-Tree based, is expected to perform worse comparing to RocksDB and Toku Fractal Trees, which, are designed to handle IO-intensive workloads. My assumption is that WiredTiger will perform better (or even outperform others) for CPU intensive in-memory workloads (see for example Mark Callaghan’s results). Also WiredTiger is expected to perform better with faster storage.
