----------------------------------------------
Summary: PE tool randomness is not totally random
Key: HBASE-17849
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-17849
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Bug
Components: test
Affects Versions: 2.0.0
Reporter: ramkrishna.s.vasudevan
Fix For: 2.0.0
Recently we were using the PE tool for doing some bucket cache related
performance tests. One thing that we noted was that the way the random read
works is not totally random.
Suppose we load 200G of data using --size param and then we use --rows=500000
to do the randomRead. The assumption was among the 200G of data it could
generate randomly 500000 row keys to do the reads.
But it so happens that the PE tool generates random rows only on those set of
row keys which falls under the first 500000 rows.
This was quite evident when we tried to use HBASE-15314 in our testing. Suppose
we split the bucket cache of size 200G into 2 files each 100G the randomReads
with --rows=500000 always lands in the first file and not in the 2nd file.
Better to make PE purely random.
