One way of looking at this is to say that transport latency + processing time = response time. Transport latency is the time it takes for a request/response to be transmitted to/from the processing component. Then you need to add the time it takes to process the request. As an example, say that 5 people … Read more
Long story short, I ended up with 5 virtual linux machines, 8 cpu, 16 GB, using puppet to deploy elasticsearch. My documents got a little bigger, but so did the throuhgput rate (slightly). I was able to reach 150K index requests / second on average, indexing 1 billion documents in 2 hours. Throughput is not … Read more
Water Analogy: Latency is the amount of time it takes to travel through the tube. Bandwidth is how wide the tube is. The rate of water flow is the Throughput Vehicle Analogy: Vehicle travel time from source to destination is latency. Types of Roadways are bandwidth. Number of Vehicles traveling is throughput.
IOPS measures the number of read and write operations per second, while throughput measures the number of bits read or written per second. Although they measure different things, they generally follow each other as IO operations have about the same size. If you have large files, you simply need more IO operations to read the … Read more
