I can test the performance characteristics of my car's engine just as well
driving in reverse. Doesn't mean it's a bad test.

Random reads and writes is what I was talking about and what people seemed to
be saying were a bad test. Maybe we have different understandings of what was
meant. I'm really not harshing on HBase. I like HBase!
I mean, unless you're saying that testing random reads and writes is a bad test?
Here's my context: I've evaluating a bunch of datastores that could have a
number of uses, from the usual Hadoop-style streaming to random reads, etc.
HBase does somethings well, and other things not so well, just like the rest
right? vpork tests just one particular use case and is not a complete
benchmarking of HBase. We can all agree to this right?
(And I'm not advocating staying on Thrift solely, btw. Like I said, I just was
able to get that to work.)

> Project: Hadoop HBase
> Issue Type: Wish
> Components: test
> Reporter: Johan Oskarsson
> Priority: Trivial
>
> It would be useful to have a suite of performance tests so that HBase can be
> compared to other similar projects. This could then be automated on the same
> hardware (perhaps even EC2?).
> There is a project called Vpork, developed by Jon Travis to test Voldemort
> that would be a good starting point. It is written in Groovy and can use the
> Java client libs. This version has been slightly refactored and also supports
