Hi Jing, You do not specify exactly how you perform your throughput test, so let me first ask a few questions. How many concurrent requests are active against the server at any given time? Can you clarify what you mean by "the server crashed"? Did the riak process actually terminate? What hardware environment does Riak run on? Please provide some information about CPU, memory and most importantly your disk IO subsystem. How big are the objects that you send to / request from Riak? Even on moderate hardware, a single node should be able to serve hundreds of requests per second. However, every system can be pushed to the limits of what the hardware can support, and Riak is no exception. Depending on the bottlenecks, an overload can manifest itself in a multitude of different ways. For load tests, I recommend to start with a small, sustainable load and ramp it up to establish which subsystem is the bottleneck. Please monitor the OS and Riak's performance carefully during the test. Riak exposes many performance metrics as JSON through its HTTP stats endpoint (http://<node>:8098/stats). Consider ingesting these into your favourite monitoring solution. OS metrics like CPU, network and IO usage should also be collected and graphed. One easy open source solution that's gaining traction recently is netdata (https://github.com/firehol/netdata).
