Big Data Benchmarking in the Cloud

Benchmarking is the process of running a set of standard tests against some object to produce an assessment of that object’s relative performance. Imagine driving three different sports cars on the same course and measuring each car’s maximum speed, torque, and fuel consumption to compare the overall performance of the three cars.

This report covers our initial work with TPC-DS, the Decision Support framework from the Transaction Processing Performance Council. TPC-DS is a sophisticated, industry-standard big data analytics benchmark developed over decades and is a de facto standard for SQL including Hadoop. Our work is not an official audited benchmark as defined by TPC.
