NameNode benchmark using mapred is insufficient
-----------------------------------------------

                 Key: HADOOP-763
                 URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-763
             Project: Hadoop
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: test
    Affects Versions: 0.8.0
            Reporter: Nigel Daley
         Assigned To: Nigel Daley
            Priority: Minor


The current namenode benchmark (org.apache.hadoop.examples.NNBench) uses 
map/reduce to distribute a load on the namenode.  For the purposes of loading 
the namenode, this model gives insufficient control over job start and failure 
recovery.  I propose the namenode benchmark be re-written to use slaves.sh 
directly to execute the namenode benchmark.  The benchmark should also give 
finer control over the operations executed and the timings reported.
