Konstantin Boudnik commented on BIGTOP-1198:
--------------------------------------------

Where I struggle with this approach right now is to see how stressing out the 
hardware can help to test a JVM's managed application. In a sense, I am not 
convinced that limiting CPU resources or RAM available for allocation via 
external means can help to expose internal issues with say namenode. If someone 
sees it differently - please correct me!

Also, this isn't a smoke test by a long stretch - it could be some sort of 
special case load testing. And there might be some value in it.

Oh, and btw - avoid using {{println}} calls - use logger calls instead.


> itest should provide smoke tests with a way to simulate heavy load on the node
