Vinayakumar B commented on HDFS-8251:
-------------------------------------
bq. hadoop-test-tool seems very generic to me. It might make sense if there was
more than the HDFS load generator in it. Leaving this in RFC for bug bash for a
second opinion.
IMO, its okay to keep it generic, as current tools depends on the entire
hadoop( HDFS and MR) for execution, rather than only HDFS. In-fact this is the
reason why these were kept in mapreduce project to resolve the dependencies.
I agree they are not MR tools, but uses MR infrastructure.
In future, if any such tools intended for some other components, which uses
entire hadoop, also can be put in this project.
Thoughts?
> Move the synthetic load generator into its own package

> It doesn't really make sense for the HDFS load generator to be a part of the
> (extremely large) mapreduce jobclient package. It should be pulled out and
> put its own package, probably in hadoop-tools.
