Testing the Performance of RocketMQ 4.8.0 Instances

Test Scenarios

This section covers performance tests on RocketMQ 4.8.0 instances by sending 1 KB messages with more than 80% CPU usage. The performance is measured by network inbound/outbound traffic, message production/consumption rate, CPU core load, and memory usage.

Test Environment

Perform the following steps to set up the test environment:

1. Buy instances as shown in Table 1. For details about how to buy an instance, see Buying an Instance.

   Table 1 Instance parameters

   Name	Flavor	Brokers	Storage Space	ACL	Public Access
   rocketmq-01	rocketmq.4u8g.cluster.small	1	High I/O | 300 GB	Disabled	Disabled
   rocketmq-02	rocketmq.4u8g.cluster	1	High I/O | 300 GB	Disabled	Disabled
   rocketmq-03	rocketmq.8u16g.cluster	1	High I/O | 300 GB	Disabled	Disabled
   rocketmq-04	rocketmq.12u24g.cluster	1	High I/O | 300 GB	Disabled	Disabled

2. Create a topic as shown in Table 2. For details about how to create a topic, see Creating a Topic.

   Table 2 Topic parameters

   Name	Permission	Broker	Queue
   topic-01	Pub/Sub	broker-0	8

3. Create a consumer group as shown in Table 3. For details about how to create a consumer group, see Creating a Consumer Group.

   Table 3 Consumer group parameters

   Name	Broker	Max. Retries	Broadcast
   group-01	broker-0	16	Disabled

4. Buy a Linux ECS (with the same region, AZ, VPC, subnet, and security group as the RocketMQ instance). For details about how to purchase an ECS, see Purchasing an ECS.
5. Install Java JDK and configure the environment variables JAVA_HOME and PATH on the ECS.

   export JAVA_HOME=/root/jdk1.8.0_231 
   export PATH=$JAVA_HOME/bin:$PATH

6. Download the benchmark suite.

   wget https://dist.apache.org/repos/dist/release/rocketmq/5.1.4/rocketmq-all-5.1.4-bin-release.zip

7. Decompress the benchmark suite.

   unzip rocketmq-all-5.1.4-bin-release.zip

Test Commands

Production command:

sh producer.sh -n "${Connection Address}" -t ${Topic Name} -s ${Message Size} -w ${Number of Producer Threads}

• Connection Address: obtained after purchasing a RocketMQ instance.
• Topic Name: set during topic creation.
• Message Size: 1 KB
• Number of Producer Threads: When testing rocketmq.4u8g.cluster.small, rocketmq.4u8g.cluster, and rocketmq.8u16g.cluster, set the number to 256. When testing rocketmq.12u24g.cluster, set the number to 640.

Consumption command:

sh mqadmin consumeMessage -n "${Connection Address}" -t ${Topic Name} -g ${Consumer Group Name}

• Connection Address: obtained after purchasing a RocketMQ instance.
• Topic Name: set during topic creation.
• Consumer Group Name: set during consumer group creation.
