Running InfoSphere Streams benchmark

Before you begin, create the dataset required by the InfoSphere Streams benchmark: [Create dataset for InfoSphere Streams benchmark](Create dataset for InfoSphere Streams benchmark)

Overview

The StreamsEmailBenchmark project contains the InfoSphere streams application for processing the emails.

Prerequisites

1. Before you can compile and run the application, you need to copy two directories from StreamsPrepareDataset project to the root of StreamsEmailBenchmark:

• avroDecode
• avroEncode

1. Copy your serialized/compressed dataset (obtained using StreamsPrepareDataset) to StreamsEmailBenchmark/data

Note: Naming convention should be filename0.av to filename<parallelism>.av

Compile

To build the application, go to the root directory of StreamsEmailBenchmark, and type make all PARALLELISM=<parallelism> at the command line.

Execution

To run the application:

1. Make sure a streams instance is created and started
2. To submit the job to the streams instance: streamtool submitjob output/Main/Distributed/Main.adl filename=<input_file_name> windowTime=<flush_interval_for_metrics> printWindowMetrics=<yes_or_no>
