# Upstream LMDB Benchmark
2+
3+
This directory contains the upstream C benchmark provided by the LMDB maintainer in response to [ITS#10406](https://bugs.openldap.org/show_bug.cgi?id=10406) - our report of write performance regression.
4+
5+
## Purpose
6+
7+
This benchmark serves as an authoritative baseline for validating LMDB performance across versions:
8+
- Uses native C code (eliminates JNI overhead)
9+
- Provided directly by LMDB maintainer
10+
- Matches our Java benchmark scenario (sequential append with integer keys)
11+
- Enables comparison between Java and C performance characteristics
12+
13+
## Files
14+
15+
- `mtest-append-original.c` - Upstream benchmark code from ITS#10406 (unmodified)
16+
- `mtest-append.c` - Modified benchmark for testing different scenarios
17+
- `run-upstream-bench.sh` - Test harness to run across multiple LMDB versions
18+
- `target/` - Build artifacts and results (gitignored)
19+
- `target/mtest-append` - Compiled benchmark binary
20+
- `target/results/` - Benchmark results for each LMDB version
21+
22+
## Benchmark Characteristics
23+
24+
- **Operation**: Sequential writes using `MDB_APPEND` flag
25+
- **Key Type**: Integer keys (`MDB_INTEGERKEY`)
26+
- **Entry Count**: 1,000,000
27+
- **Value Size**: 100 bytes (zeroed)
28+
- **Commit Frequency**: Every 1,000 entries (1,000 transactions total)
29+
- **Flags**: `MDB_NOSYNC` (for consistency with Java benchmarks)
30+
- **Iterations**: 3 runs per version
31+
32+
## Usage
33+
34+
```bash
35+
./run-upstream-bench.sh
36+
```
37+
38+
Results are saved to `target/results/upstream-LMDB_<version>.txt`
39+
40+
The script automatically:
41+
1. Checks out each LMDB version from the OpenLDAP repository
42+
2. Compiles the LMDB library
43+
3. Compiles and runs the benchmark
44+
4. Generates a summary comparison table
45+
46+
## Performance Expectations
47+
48+
Each benchmark iteration completes in ~0.075 seconds on modern hardware.
49+
Total runtime for all 14 versions (3 iterations each): ~1 minute.
50+
51+
## Comparison with Java Benchmarks
52+
53+
This C benchmark can be compared with LmdbJava benchmarks at https://lmdb-benchmark.lmdbjava.org/
54+
55+
Key differences:
56+
- C benchmark uses raw LMDB API (no JNI overhead)
57+
- C benchmark commits every 1,000 entries vs Java's single-transaction approach
58+
- Results help isolate whether regressions are in LMDB itself or JNI layer
