Generating TPCx-BB data sets

TPCx-BB (née BigBench) is a Big Data benchmark. To generate the TPCx-BB data sets, download the TPCX-BB_Tools_vX.Y.Z.zip package from the TPC website.

To run the generator, you’ll need a Java 8-compatible Java Virtual Machine. To obtain this, you can, e.g., install the Zulu JVM via SDKMAN!. Then, you can run the generator as follows:

java -cp pdgf.jar pdgf.Controller

To list the available commands, run:

To start the data generation, run:
