cassandra database testing with jmeter

I have installed cassandra CQL shell on my local system, I am using jmeter v3.0 for testing the queries per second(QPS) on cassandra CQL shell. I have installed "cassandra support" plugin available in "plugin manager" with jmeter.

I have created keyspace in cassandra(keyspace1), created a table(student) and added some data in CQL shell.

I have added "cassandra properties" from config elements and entered the properties in jmeter.

Here are the properties:

I have added "cassandra get" sampler.

added "view results tree" listener.

when I run it I am getting the following error:

ERROR: java.lang.RuntimeException: org.apache.thrift.transport.TTransportException: Read a negative frame size (-2080374784)!

I have given the "schema properties" as seen on github. but no use. I am getting the same error.

Can anyone suggest me how to resolve this error?

ERROR: java.lang.RuntimeException: org.apache.thrift.transport.TTransportException: Read a negative frame size (-2080374784)!

I want to use the cassandra samplers for put, get and delete operations on the database.

It looks like the Netflix plugin you are using is somewhat deprecated because it uses the Cassandra thrift API which is deprecated (the plugin did not have a lot of recent commits in github too).

See announcements here and here

Even if you succeed in your test with this plugin, it would not be very representative of a current client use (hence load).

IMHO you should make your test with JSR223 groovy scripts (preprocessor and samplers) and use the Datastax standard java driver + CQL in your script. I did it some time ago, it works fine. (update: documented here)

Or may be try this JMeter plugin from a Datastax guy, it seems to use CQL . I didn't tried it, but it looks fine.

HTH,
