memtier_benchmark: a high-throughput benchmarking tool for Redis (& Memcached)

[Yiftach Shoolman]

We have just released our memtier_benchmark tool for testing Redis under heavy load:

1. Here is a short blog post that describes its capabilities 
2. And here is the GitHub repository  

In a nutshell:

1. We use it as a complementary tool for redis-benchmark, as it only supports simple GET and SET commands
2. It is capable of launching multiple worker threads , with each thread driving a configurable number of clients
   
3. You can control the ratio between GET and SET operations
   
4. The tool offers control over the pattern of keys used by the GET and SET operations  Each operation’s pattern can be set independently to be random or sequential
   
5. Keys’ expiry can be common or randomly set from a configurable range 
   
6. Bonus - it can be either used for benchmarking Memcached
   

Have fun.
