Elasticsearch Clients Benchmarks

Displaying the number of operations executed per second by the official Elasticsearch clients.

The Configuration

The aim of the benchmarks is to demonstrate the "out-of-the-box" experience in different programming languages and platforms. Therefore, the clients are running with their default configurations, with only minimal adjustments to match common production settings.

You can find more information in the respective repository README documents.

The Environment

The operations are run against a single-node Elasticsearch 7.7.0 cluster installed from tar.gz on a n2-standard-8 GCP instance (8 vCPUs/32GB RAM), with 15GB of RAM locked for heap and a local SSD formatted as ext4 on the NVMe interface.

The client code is executed in a Docker container on a n2-standard-4 GCP instance (4 vCPUs/16GB RAM). Both environments use Ubuntu 18.04.4 LTS (5.0.0-1031-gcp).

The code for provisioning and setting up the environment is available at GitHub.
