Apache Commons CSV Benchmark =================== Apache Commons CSV includes a Java Microbenchmark Harness (JMH) for testing various implementations of CSV processing. Prerequisite ------------- The Skife CSV implementation is not available in Maven Central and therefore must be manually installed into the local Maven repository. Run the falling script to download and install the JAR file (~1MB). ```shell ./benchmark-prereq.sh ``` Benchmarks ------------- Benchmark Name | CSV Parser | Description --------------- | --------------- | ------------- read | Java JDK | Use BufferedReader to perform a line count scan | Java JDK | Use Scanner to perform a line count split | Java JDK | Use BufferedReader to split each line on a delimiter parseCommonsCSV | commons-csv | Use CSVFormat to split each line on a delimiter parseGenJavaCSV | generation-java | Use CsvReader to split each line on a delimiter parseJavaCSV | java-csv | Use CsvReader to split each line on a delimiter parseOpenCSV | open-csv | Use CSVReader to split each line on a delimiter parseSkifeCSV | skife-csv | Use CSVReader to split each line on a delimiter parseSuperCSV | super-csv | Use CsvListReader to split each line on a delimiter Running the Tests ------------- ```shell # Run all benchmark tests mvn test -Pbenchmark # Run a specific benchmark test mvn test -Pbenchmark -Dbenchmark= # Example of running basic "read" benchmark mvn test -Pbenchmark -Dbenchmark=read ``` Performance Test ------------- Apache Commons CSV includes a stand-alone performance test which only covers commons-csv. ```shell # Run the performance test mvn test -Dtest=PerformanceTest ``` > :warning: This performance test does not use JMH; it uses simple timing metrics.
