Cassandra从很早的版本就自带了cassandra-stress压力测试工具，它的使用方法在cassandra-stress后添加命令和选项。其中常用的命令一般只用到：write、read、mixed、user。其中单纯的write和read只测试读和写，mixed则测试同时读写。user是2.1之后新增的，通过自定义配置文件，在配置文件中可以指定insert和query查询语句。
命令command没有以-开头，而选项[options]有两种方式：-选项名称 选项值或者选项名称=选项值。
常用的选项有
counter_read： 多个并发读，必须首先通过counter_write测试填充群集。
counter_write：多个并发写。
legacy：传统模式的支持。
mixed：混合模式和可配置的读写比例和分布。集群必须先写测试数据填充。
read: 多个并发读取。必须首先通过写入测试填充群集。
write: 针对群集的多个并发写入。
user: 交错用户提供具有可配置比率和分布的查询。
version: 打印cassandra-stress版本。
print: 打印定义输出 子选项
-COL
列详细信息，例如大小和计数分布，数据生成器
用法：
-col names =？[slice] [super =？] [comparator =？] [timestamp =？] [size = DIST（？）]
要么
-col [n = DIST（？）] [slice] [super =？] [comparator =？] [timestamp =？] [size = DIST（？）]-rate
速率
使用以下选项设置费率：
-rate threads=N [throttle=N] [fixed=N]
配置项：
threads=N 并发运行的客户端数量。
throttle=N 所有客户端的每秒操作达到最大速率，默认值为0。
fixed=N 期望所有客户每秒的固定运行率。默认值为0。
或者
-rate [threads>=N] [threads<=N] [auto]
参数：
threads > = N ：同时运行至少这么多客户端。默认值为4。
threads <= N ：最多同时运行这么多客户端。默认值为1000。
auto 一旦吞吐量饱和，就停止增加线程。-errors
如何处理压力测试期间遇到的错误
用法：
-errors [retries = N] [ignore] [skip-read-validation]
retries=N 失败前尝试次数。
ignore 忽略错误。
skip-read-validation 跳过读取验证和消息输出。-graph
压力测试生成结果图表，可以将多个测试一起绘制成图表。
用法:
-graph file=? [revision=?] [title=?] [op=?]-log
日志设置
用法：
level=verbose
or
-log [level=?] [no-summary] [file=?] [hdrfile=?] [interval=?] [no-settings] [no-progress] [show-queries] [query-log-file=?]-mode
Thrift or CQL 选项
用法：
-mode thrift [smart] [user=?] [password=?]
or
-mode native [unprepared] cql3 [compression=?] [port=?] [user=?] [password=?] [auth-provider=?] [maxPending=?] [connectionsPerHost=?] [protocolVersion=?]
or
-mode simplenative [prepared] cql3 [port=?]-node
要连接的节点
用法：
-node [datacenter=?] [whitelist] [file=?] []-port
指定用于连接Cassandra节点的端口。9042端口用于native协议的客户端连接。
-port [native=?] [thrift=?] [jmx=?]：-schema
表结构设置
用法：
-schema [replication(?)] [keyspace=?] [compaction(?)] [compression=?]-sendto
指定要将压力命令发送到的服务器。
用法：
-sendto -tokenrange
令牌范围设置。
用法：
-tokenrange [no-wrap] [split-factor =？] [savedata =？]额外选项
profile=?：指定YAML配置文件，需要自己编写DML，插入，查询；(只能作为user选项的子选项)
ops(?)： 指定操作类型和数量，比如ops(inserts=1)，或者ops(queries=2)，其中queries需要用指定的查询名称代替；(只能作为user选项的子选项)
n=?： 指定操作数量，比如要写入1万条数据，n=10000； 要读取1000条数据，n=1000；
err--注意
选项名称，选项值必须放在 子选项选项值前面，比如正确的用法：truncate=one -node xxx
简单读写压测示例
＃插入（写入）一百万行
cassandra-stress write n = 1000000 -rate threads = 50 -node 172.20.101.166 -port native=9042
＃读二十万行。
cassandra-stress读n = 200000 -rate threads = 50 -node 172.20.101.157 -port native=9042
＃读取行持续3分钟。
cassandra-stress read duration = 3m -rate threads = 50 -node 172.20.101.164 -port native=9042
＃混合读写持续5分钟。
cassandra-stress mixed duration = 5m -rate threads = 50 -node 172.20.101.164 -port native=9042
＃首先读取200,000行而不预热50,000行。
cassandra-stress read n = 200000 no-warmup -rate threads = 50 -node 172.20.101.160, 172.20.101.166 -port native=9042
#通过身份验证运行cassandra-stress
以下示例显示使用-mode选项提供用户名和密码：
cassandra-stress -mode native cql3 user = cassandra password = cassandra no-warmup cl = QUORUM
复杂压测示例：
100万条数据写入，一致性级别为Local_Quorum，客户端线程数=500个，2个列，副本数据=3个
cassandra-stress write n=1000000 cl=LOCAL_QUORUM -rate threads=500 \
-col "size=fixed(2048)" "n=fixed(32)" -schema "replication(factor=3)" -node 172.20.101.157 -port native=9042使用user profile 配置yaml
