Jakob Homan updated HADOOP-5358:
--------------------------------

    Attachment: HADOOP-5358.patch

Patch:
   + Provides the option to supply the name of a script file to the load 
generator.  A script is a text file (with lines beginning with # as comments) 
of the form (for example):
{noformat}# duration in secods  read probability write probability
10 .22 .44
12 .5 .25
{noformat}
which would have the load generator run for 10 seconds using a .22 probability 
of reads, and .44 probability of writes.  After 10 seconds, it would run for 12 
seconds using a  .5 and .25 probability of reads and writes, respectively.
+ Other operation of the load generator is not affected
+ The load generator unit test is updated to test the scripting ability

> Currently the load generator accepts parameters at start time as to the read 
> and write probabilities to apply against the namenode.  It would be useful to 
> be able to provide it with a script of these values, so that they can be 
> varied over time.  This would allow the namenode to be tested with varying 
> loads over time so its behavior to changing loads can be examined.
