Abstract
Caliper is built using NodeJS. The Workload Modules used for configuring transactions are also implemented in JavaScript at this point in time. Workload Module definition can be configured using the benchmark configuration file, which makes use of YAML.
This project would focus on:
- Building a YAML schema to define Workload Module behavior, hence reducing the amount of JS code required for the task.
- Possibly tuning the YAML specification for most frequent use cases.
Deliverables
Overarching goal: Specify/design a flexible and extendable YAML-based configuration schema for the declarative definition of complex workloads.
- Survey the workload definition capabilities of relevant workload generators/benchmark tools and typical workload requirements of relevant standards or existing workloads.
- Implement a built-in Caliper workload module capable of generating requests based on the defined YAML configuration.
- Thoroughly test the implemented module - Provide developer and user documentation for the schema and the implemented module.
- Port some of the Caliper microbenchmarks to the declarative schema as proof of concept.
