MySQL+Galera - TPC-E benchmark (2 replies)

Hi All,

I have a MySQL 5.5.17 with Galera replication installed on my machine. This includes a 2 node cluster setup. I am using TPC-E to benchmark this cluster. The storage engine that i use is InnoDB, as Galera supports only InnoDB.

I have some questions to make myself clear with TPC-E and they are :

1) Why is the seq_trade_id table alone using MyISAM while the other tables are InnoDB?

2) What if i change the seq_trade_id table to InnoDB and run the benchmark? Will this reflect the throughput?

3) How does TPC-E work for replicated serves? Will the throughput increase/decrease or the same with and without replication?

4) I dont find any docs that provides the details of the TPC-E transactions, How the transactions and the results are obtained? Please do share some materials if you find them helpful.

I could not find any good forums related to TPC-E, that is the reason i posted this here. Please help me if any one is aware of this.

Thanks :)
Any help will be of great use to me.
