> Proposal is to add an implementation for a Simulated Data Node.
> This will 
>   - allow one to test certain parts of the system (especially the Name Node, 
> protocols) much more easily and efficiently.
>   - allow one to run performance benchmarks on the Name node without having a 
> large cluster.
>   - Inject faults for testing (e.g. one can add random faults based 
> probability parameters).
> The idea is that the Simulated Data Node will
>  - discard any data written to blocks (but remember the blocks and their 
> sizes)
>  - generate fixed data on the fly when blocks are read (e.g. block is fixed 
> set of bytes or repeated sequence of strings).
> The Simulated Data Node can also be used for fault injection.
> The data node can be parameterized with probabilities that allow one to 
> control:
>   - Delays on reads and writes, creates, etc
>   - IO Exceptions
>  - Loss of blocks 
>  - Failures
