Test loading data with NoSqlBench

Use NoSQLBench to test loading data to Astra with a demo cluster, keyspace, and user.

Prerequisites

Ensure you have a working NoSQLBench (nb or nb.jar). For more, see Getting NoSQLBench.

Make sure your Astra secure connect bundle is available to your nosqlbench instance. You can download the bundle from Astra and copy it to your /tmp directory.

Get your Client ID and Client Secret by creating your application token for your username and password.

Start Astra Benchmarking with NoSQLBench

nb cql-iot astra \
username=clientId \
password=clientSecret \
keyspace=demo \
secureconnectbundle=/tmp/secure-connect-demo.zip

java -jar nb.jar cql-iot astra \
username=clientId \
password=clientSecret \
keyspace=demo \
secureconnectbundle=/tmp/secure-connect-demo.zip
