Stu Hood commented on CASSANDRA-561:
------------------------------------
Wei: thank you very much for your contribution! This is quite a chunk of code,
and it will be a while before any of the Casandra committers fully understand
it.
Was your intention that the simulator should be merged as a system-test
framework for Cassandra (to run along with the unit tests in continuous
integration), or that it be merged to contrib/, where people who were
interested in researching Cassandra's distribution could run experiments
manually?
Also, if this code were to be merged, would you be able to continue maintaining
it?
Thanks again!

> -------------------

> Key: CASSANDRA-561
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-561
> Project: Cassandra
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Contrib
> Environment: RHEL 4.X, 5.X
> Reporter: Wei Li
> Attachments: simulator.zip.gz, simulatorDoc.zip.gz

>
> Motivations:
> =========
> Cassandra is a distributed system. This nature makes it harder for developers
> and testers to rapidly develop and test applications without proper hardware
> and network setups. It is particular hard for testing, when we want to know
> how system behaves under stressed network conditions, hardware changes and
> failures, and many other scenarios. The motivations of the building a
> Cassandra simulator is to provide a tool to simplify procedures to achieve
> above needs.
> Requirements:
> ===========
> Simulator is a separate project from Canssandra main project. It does not
> insert and/or modify any code in Cassandra main project, rather it operates
> as an additional service in Cassandra node(See enclosed doc for details).
> Simulator can be started in two modes: Simulated mode and "pure" Cassandra
> mode. The design Requirements of the simulator are:
> * To simulate multiple node operations within single linux box
> * To simulate Hardware conditions, such as adding new nodes, node out of
> service, etc.
> * To simulate network conditions, message delays, drops, etc.
> * To carry out read/write operations at the simulated environment
> * To provide APIs to access logging information
