bench: add protobuf storage overhead benchmark - #151
Merged
Conversation
new benchmark comparing PROTO.* commands against raw SET/GET: - bench-proto.sh: shell wrapper (requires --features protobuf, protoc) - bench-proto.py: python harness using redis-py - bench/proto/user.proto: simple test schema (name/age/email) measures: - PROTO.SET vs raw SET (same data, validated vs raw bytes) - PROTO.GET vs raw GET - PROTO.GETFIELD single-field read throughput - PROTO.SETFIELD single-field update throughput - overhead percentage for schema validation proto encoding is hand-rolled in python to avoid requiring the protobuf library at benchmark runtime. schema compilation uses protoc --descriptor_set_out at startup.

design considerations
protobufpip dependency but only supports the simple User schema. the full protobuf library would be needed for complex nested messages.protocis required at runtime for--descriptor_set_out— this is consistent with how ember's PROTO.REGISTER works (expects compiled descriptors, not raw .proto text)
