The Yahoo! Cloud Serving Benchmark (YCSB) is a collection of micro-benchmarks that represent data management applications whose workload is simple but requires high scalability [16]. Such applications are often large-scale services created by Web-based companies. Although these services are often deployed using distributed key/value storage systems, this benchmark can also provide insight into the capabilities of traditional DBMSs.
