(6 comments)

Thanks for doing this. The overall idea looks good, just some comments about a 
few details.

http://gerrit.cloudera.org:8080/#/c/6935/2/be/src/util/benchmark.cc
File be/src/util/benchmark.cc:

Line 35: double Benchmark::Measure(BenchmarkFunction function, void* args,
Can we change the behaviour so that benchmarks can opt in or out from the 
context switch test?

The new behaviour makes sense if the benchmark is measuring single-threaded 
efficiency but doesn't make sense in some other cases. E.g. for lock-benchmark 
we want to understand what the OS scheduler does when there are more threads 
than logical cores contending for a lcok.


Line 62:       throw std::runtime_error("Benchmark failed to complete due to 
context switching.");
We usually use LOG(FATAL) for fatal errors or Status for non-fatal errors. I 
think either could make sense here.


Line 69:   }
Maybe we should reset 'sw' and 'lost_time' after doing the tuning step so we 
don't have unnecessary lost time.


Line 90:       batch_size = max<int>(1, batch_size / (1+(ru_stop.ru_nivcsw - 
ru_start.ru_nivcsw)));
Maybe comment why we're scaling it down here?


PS2, Line 94: 10
Where does the 10 come from?


Line 95:     throw std::runtime_error("Benchmark failed to complete due to 
noisy measurements.");
Same comment here about using Status/LOG(FATAL).
