Allen Wittenauer commented on HADOOP-6248:
------------------------------------------
For performance testing, I am not seeing what this gives me over gridmix.
There simply isn't enough here to generate a load that can be measured and
compared and contrasted.
For QA testing of my application, why wouldn't I just try to run my job on a
smaller chunk of representative data that has a known outcome? Also: if I've
already written a mapreduce job, surely I'm competent enough to run
get/put/mkdir/etc.
The fact that it requires python: that's a big fail in my book. Maybe I missed
it, but I'm not seeing anything that couldn't be handled in shell, never mind
the fact that perl is much more universally installed everywhere. [Yes, I'm on
a portability kick. ;) ]
At this point, I don't think this is ready and/or has a clear goal in mind.
