BigFrame is a benchmark generator for big data analytics, which means that it can instantiate different kinds of benchmarks. Unlike the exsiting benchmarks, e.g TPCDS, HiveBench, etc. which are either micro-benchmarks or benchmarks in very specific domains, making them not fit into the big data enviroment taday, BigFrame can instead generate the bechmark tailored to a specific set of data and workload requirements.
For example, some enterprises may be grappling with increasing data volumes; with the variety and velocity of their data not being pressing concerns. Some other enterprises may be interested in benchmarking systems that can handle larger volumes and variety of data; but with the volume of unstructured data dominating that of the structured data by orders of magnitude. A third category of enterprises may be interested in understanding reference architectures for data analytics applications that need to deal with large rates of streaming data (i.e., large velocity of data).
