-Running Stress tests on Google Container Engine

-=======================================

-

-### **Glossary**:

-* GCP: Google Cloud Platform

-* GCE: Google Compute Engine

-* GKE: Google Container Engine

-* GCP console: https://console.cloud.google.com

-

-### **Setup Instructions**

-#### *On GCP:*

-1. Login to GCP with your Google account (for example, your @gmail account) at https://cloud.google.com. If do not have a Google account, you will have to create an account first.

-2. Enable billing on Google cloud platform. Instructions [here](https://cloud.google.com/container-engine/docs/before-you-begin)  (see the '*Enable billing*' section).

-3. Create a Project from the [GCP console](https://console.cloud.google.com).i.e Click on the project dropdown box on the top right (to the right of the search box) and click '*Create a project*' option.

-4. Enable the Container Engine API. Instructions [here](https://cloud.google.com/container-engine/docs/before-you-begin)  (See the '*Enable the Container Engine API*’ section). Alternatively, you can do the following:

-    - Click on the '*Products & Services*' icon on the top left (i.e the icon with three small horizontal bars) and select '*API Manager*'

-    - Select the '*Container Engine API*' under '*Google Cloud APIs*' on the main page. Note that you might have to click on '*More*' under '*Google Cloud APIs*' to see the '*Container Engine API*' link

-    - Click on the '*Enable*' button. If the API is already enabled, the button's label would be '*Disable*' instead (do NOT click the button if its label is '*Disable*')

-5. Create a Cluster from the GCP console.

-    - Go to the Container Engine section from GCP console i.e: Click on the '*Products & Services*' icon on the top left (i.e the icon with three small horizontal bars) and click on '*Container Engine*'

-    - Click '*Create Container Cluster*' and follow the instructions.

-    - The instructions for 'Name/Zone/MachineType' etc are [here](https://cloud.google.com/container-engine/docs/clusters/operations) (**NOTE**: The page also has instructions to setting up default clusters and configuring `kubectl`. We will be doing that later)

-    - For the cluster size, a smaller size of < 10 GCE instances is good enough for our use cases - assuming that we are planning to run a reasonably small number of stress client instances. For the machine type, something like '2 vCPUs 7.5 GB' (available in the drop down box) should be good enough.

-    - **IMPORTANT**: Before hitting the '*Create*' button, click on '*More*' link just above the '*Create*' button and Select '*Enabled*' for BigQuery , '*Enabled*' for Cloud Platform and '*Read/Write*' for Cloud User Accounts.

-    - Create the cluster by clicking '*Create*' button.

-

-#### *On your machine* (or the machine from which stress tests on GKE are launched):

-1. You need a working gRPC repository on your machine. If you do not have it, clone the grpc repository from github (https://github.com/grpc/grpc) and follow the instructions [here](https://github.com/grpc/grpc/blob/master/INSTALL.md)

-2. Install Docker. Instructions [here](https://docs.docker.com/engine/installation/)

-3. Install Google Cloud SDK. Instructions [here](https://cloud.google.com/sdk/). This installs the `gcloud` tool

-4. Install `kubectl`, Kubernetes command line tool using `gcloud`. i.e

-    - `$ gcloud components update kubectl`

-    - NOTE: If you are running this from a GCE instance, the command may fail with the following error:

-    ```

-     You cannot perform this action because this Cloud SDK installation is 

-     managed by an external package manager. If you would like to get the

-     latest version, please see our main download page at:

-

-     https://developers.google.com/cloud/sdk/

-

-     ERROR: (gcloud.components.update) The component manager is disabled for this installation

-    ```

-    -- If so, you will have to manually install Cloud SDK by doing the following

-    ```shell

-      $ # The following installs latest Cloud SDK and updates the PATH

-      $ # (Accept the default values when prompted)

-      $ curl https://sdk.cloud.google.com | bash

-      $ exec -l $SHELL

-      $ # Set the defaults. Pick the default GCE credentials when prompted (The service account

-      $ # name will have a name similar to: "xxx-compute@developer.gserviceaccount.com")

-      $ gcloud init

-    ``` 

-

-5. Install Google python client apis:

-    - `‘$ sudo pip install --upgrade google-api-python-client’`

-    -  **Note**: Do `$ sudo apt-get install python-pip` (or `$ easy_install -U pip`) if you do not have pip

-6. Install the `requests` Python package if you don’t have it already by doing `sudo pip install requests`. More details regarding `requests` package are [here](http://docs.python-requests.org/en/master/user/install/)

-7. Set the `gcloud` defaults: See the instructions [here](https://cloud.google.com/container-engine/docs/before-you-begin) under "*Set gcloud defaults*" section)

-    - Make sure you also fetch the cluster credentials for `kubectl` command to use. I.e `$ gcloud container clusters get-credentials CLUSTER_NAME`

-

-### **Launching Stress tests**

-

-The stress tests are launched by the following script (path is relative to GRPC root directory) :

-`tools/run_tests/stress_test/run_stress_tests_on_gke.py`

-

-You can find out more details by using the `--help` flag.

-  - `<grpc_root_dir>$ tools/run_tests/stress_test/run_on_gke.py --help`

-

-> **Example**

-> ```bash

-> $ # Change to the grpc root directory

-> $ cd $GRPC_ROOT

-> $ tools/run_tests/stress_test/run_on_gke.py --project_id=sree-gce --config_file=tools/run_tests/stress_test/configs/opt.json

-> ```

-

-> The above runs the stress test on GKE under the project `sree-gce` in the default cluster (that you set by `gcloud` command earlier). The test settings (like number of client instances, servers, the parmeters to pass, test cases etc) are all loaded from the config file `$GRPC_ROOT/tools/run_tests/stress_test/opt.json`

-Stress Test client Specification

-=========================

-This document specifies the features a stress test client should implement in order to work with the stress testing framework. The stress test clients are executed against the existing interop test servers.

-

-**Requirements**

---------------

-**1.** A stress test client should be able to repeatedly execute one or more of the existing 'interop test cases'. It may just be a wrapper around the existing interop test client. The exact command line arguments the client should support are listed in _Table 1_ below.

-

-**2.** The stress test client must implement a metrics server defined by _[metrics.proto](https://github.com/grpc/grpc/blob/master/src/proto/grpc/testing/metrics.proto)_ and must expose _qps_ as a `Long`-valued Gauge. The client can track the overall _qps_ in one Gauge or in multiple Gauges (for example: One per Channel or Stub).

- The framework periodically queries the _qps_ by calling the `GetAllGauges()` method (the framework assumes that all the returned Gauges are _qps_ Gauges and adds them up to determine the final qps) and uses this to determine if the stress test client is running or crashed or stalled.

-> *Note:* In this context, the term  _**qps**_  means _interop test cases per second_  (not _messages per second_ or _rpc calls per second_)

-

-

-**Table 1:** Command line arguments that should be supported by the stress test client.

-

->_**Note** The current C++ [stress client](https://github.com/grpc/grpc/blob/master/test/cpp/interop/stress_test.cc) supports more flags than those listed here but those flags will soon be deprecated._

-

-Parameter             |                    Description

-----------------------|---------------------------------

-`--server_addresses`    | The stress client should accept a list of server addresses in the following format:<br> ```<name_1>:<port_1>,<name_2>:<port_2>..<name_N>:<port_N>``` <br> _Note:_ `<name>` can be either server name or IP address.<br><br>_Type:_ string <br>_default:_ ```localhost:8080``` <br>_Example:_ ``foo.foobar.com:8080,bar.foobar.com:8080`` <br><br> Currently, the stress test framework only passes one server address to the client.

-`--test_cases`        |   List of test cases along with the relative weights in the following format:<br> `<testcase_1:w_1>,<testcase_2:w_2>...<testcase_n:w_n>`. <br> The test cases names are the same as those currently used by the interop clients<br><br>_Type:_ string <br>_Example:_ `empty_unary:20,large_unary:10,empty_stream:70` <br>(The stress client would then make `empty_unary` calls 20% of the time, `large_unary` calls 10% of the time and `empty_stream` calls 70% of the time.) <br>_Note:_ The weights need not add up to 100.

-`--test_duration_secs`      | The test duration in seconds. A value of -1 means that the test should run forever until forcefully terminated. <br>_Type:_ int <br>_default:_ -1

-`--num_channels_per_server` | Number of channels (i.e connections) to each server. <br> _Type:_ int <br> _default:_ 1 <br><br> _Note:_ Unfortunately, the term `channel` is used differently in `grpc-java` and `C based grpc`. In this context, this really means "number of connections to the server"

-`--num_stubs_per_channel `  | Number of client stubs per each connection to server.<br>_Type:_ int <br>_default:_ 1

-`--metrics_port`            | The port at which the stress client exposes [QPS metrics](https://github.com/grpc/grpc/blob/master/src/proto/grpc/testing/metrics.proto). <br>_Type:_ int <br>_default:_ 8081
