Question

Is there a way to have a memtier_benchmark runnable without having to build it from source or run it from Docker or install Redis Enterprise?

Answer

You can run the Docker image that makes memtier_benchmark available only.

Alternatively, you can get the build contained in each GA version of Redis Enterprise:

  • untar the archive file
  • untar the RE package (e.g: the .rpm file for Redhat)
  • You'll find the executable under opt/redislabs/bin/memtier_benchmark
