ryan rawson commented on HBASE-1388:
------------------------------------

and thank you for doing so.  

There is some misunderstanding, stack and I advocate adding native API while 
you're "in the guts". The native API is in fact easier than the thrift one in 
some ways.  

Someone else said something about 'level playing field' and sticking to thrift 
only, and this is where I don't entirely agree. Depending on how Avro shapes 
up, it's possible that hbase will be entirely thrift free in 4-5 months anyways.

In the mean time, it would be good to build a performance test for hbase, since 
many of the scale features don't kick in until you have gigs of data on a dozen 
servers.  But after they kick in, it's near linear for quite some time.

> 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
