Enhanced 3n+1 Benchmark for GT.M - 2010-02-28

3n+1 NoSQL/Key-Value/Schema-Free/Schema-Less Database Benchmark

Motivation

This is an attempt to create a benchmark for apples to apples comparisons of databases that are generally described as NoSQL, key-value, schema-free or schema-less databases.  The goals are to create a benchmark that:

• is simple to understand and code - ideally, a page of code or less in most programming languages;
• performs a non-trivial amount of representative activity - reads and updates, access contention, recovery, etc.; and
• generates results that can be easily replicated and verified by others.
