The source is already public, so on some level a source release is no different from a git tag. Benchmarks has matured enough that I think it makes sense to at least start branching and tagging the geode-benchmarks repo to capture exactly what was used in that Geode release.
Others in the dev and user community may find the benchmarks useful in other ways than we use them. While our focus for CI is on tuning for repeatability, someone else might just want a load generator to break in a new cluster or get some rough numbers. Some might want to get under the hood and tinker and tune, or contribute their own benchmarks, with the understanding that it’s not a turnkey or standalone product, but a tool that requires getting your hands dirty. Would a “1 page” readme with a few tips on “how to run on a laptop” be enough to let other interested contributors help get geode-benchmarks to a “better state”? > On Jan 14, 2020, at 9:38 PM, Jacob Barrett <jbarr...@pivotal.io> wrote: > > I don’t think the benchmarks provide any material benefit to a user in their > current state.
