> 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
