benchmark - runs a performance benchmark against a cache.

You can run performance benchmarks for the following HTTP and Hot Rod protocols: http, https, hotrod, and hotrods. You specify the protocol for the benchmark with a URI. If you do not specify a protocol, the benchmark uses the URI of the current CLI connection.

Benchmarks for Hot Rod URIs connect to the entire cluster. For HTTP URIs, benchmarks connect to a single node only.

Benchmarks test performance against an existing cache. Before you run a benchmark, you should create a cache with the capabilities you want to measure. For example, if you want to evaluate the performance of cross-site replication, you should create a cache that has backup locations. If you want to test the performance of persistence, create a cache that uses an appropriate cache store.

benchmark ['OPTIONS'] [uri]

benchmark hotrod://localhost:11222
Performs a benchmark test with the Hot Rod protocol.

benchmark --value-size=10000 --cache=largecache hotrod://localhost:11222
