Star Schema Benchmark

Star Schema Benchmark(SSB) is a lightweight performance test set in the data warehouse scenario. SSB provides a simplified star schema data based on TPC-H, which is mainly used to test the performance of multi-table JOIN query under star schema. In addition, the industry usually flattens SSB into a wide table model (Referred as: SSB flat) to test the performance of the query engine, refer to Clickhouse.

This document mainly introduces the performance of Doris on the SSB 1000G test set.

We tested 13 queries on the SSB standard test dataset based on Apache Doris version 2.0.6.

1. Hardware Environment

2. Software Environment

• Doris Deployed 3BEs and 1FE
• Kernel Version: Linux version 5.4.0-96-generic (buildd@lgw01-amd64-051)
• OS version: Ubuntu 20.04 LTS (Focal Fossa)
• Doris software version: Apache Doris 2.0.6.
• JDK: openjdk version “1.8.0_131”

3. Test Data Volume

4. SSB Flat Test Results

Here we use Apache Doris 2.0.6 for comparative testing. In the test, we use Query Time(ms) as the main performance indicator. The test results are as follows:

5. Standard SSB Test Results

Here we use Apache Doris 2.0.6 for comparative testing. In the test, we use Query Time(ms) as the main performance indicator. The test results are as follows:

6. Environment Preparation

Please first refer to the [official documentation](. /install/install-deploy.md) to install and deploy Apache Doris first to obtain a Doris cluster which is working well(including at least 1 FE 1 BE, 1 FE 3 BEs is recommended).

7. Data Preparation

7.1 Download and Install the SSB Data Generation Tool.

Execute the following script to download and compile the ssb-tools tool.

sh bin/build-ssb-dbgen.sh

After successful installation, the dbgen binary will be generated under the ssb-dbgen/ directory.

7.2 Generate SSB Test Set

Execute the following script to generate the SSB dataset:

sh bin/gen-ssb-data.sh -s 1000

Note 1: Check the script help via sh gen-ssb-data.sh -h.

Note 2: The data will be generated under the ssb-data/ directory with the suffix .tbl. The total file size is about 600GB and may need a few minutes to an hour to generate.

Note 3: A standard test data set of 100G is generated by default.

7.3 Create Table

7.3.1 Prepare the doris-cluster.conf File.

Before import the script, you need to write the FE’s ip port and other information in the doris-cluster.conf file.

The file is located under ${DORIS_HOME}/tools/ssb-tools/conf/.

The content of the file includes FE’s ip, HTTP port, user name, password and the DB name of the data to be imported:

# Any of FE host
export FE_HOST='127.0.0.1'
# http_port in fe.conf
export FE_HTTP_PORT=8030
# query_port in fe.conf
export FE_QUERY_PORT=9030
# Doris username
export USER='root'
# Doris password
export PASSWORD=''
# The database where SSB tables located
export DB='ssb'

7.3.2 Execute the Following Script to Generate and Create the SSB Table:

sh bin/create-ssb-tables.sh -s 1000

Or copy the table creation statements in create-ssb-tables.sql and create-ssb-flat-table.sql and then execute them in the MySQL client.

7.4 Import data

We use the following command to complete all data import of SSB test set and SSB FLAT wide table data synthesis and then import into the table.

 sh bin/load-ssb-data.sh

7.5 Checking Imported data

select count(*) from part;
select count(*) from customer;
select count(*) from supplier;
select count(*) from dates;
select count(*) from lineorder;
select count(*) from lineorder_flat;
