In the development of RonDB 21.10.1 we have had some focus on improving the performance of the DBT2 benchmark for RonDB. Actually NDB Cluster already had very good performance for DBT2. However this performance relies on a thread configuration that uses a lot of LDM threads and this means that tables will have very many partitions.
For an application like DBT2 (open source variant of TPC-C) this is not an issue since it is a very scalable application. But most real applications are not as scalable as DBT2 when the number of table partitions increases.
In RonDB we have focused on decreasing the number of table partitions. Thus in RonDB the number of partitions are independent of the number of LDM threads. In DBT2 most of the load are generated towards one of the tables, this means that only a subset of the LDM threads are used in executing DBT2. Even more most of the load is directed towards the primary replicas.
