LATS stands for low Latency, high Availability, high Throughput and scalable Storage. When testing an OLTP DBMS it is important to look at all those aspects. This means that the benchmark should test how the DBMS works in scenarios where data fits in memory, where data doesn't fit in memory. In addition tests should run measuring both throughput and latency. Finally it isn't enough to run the benchmarks while the DBMS operates in normal operation. There should also be tests that verify the performance when node fails and when nodes rejoin the cluster.
