> I propose adding a test suite to simulate various network issues/failures in
> order to get good test coverage on some of the retry paths that aren't easy
> to hit in mock unit tests.
> At the moment the only things that hit the retry paths are the gmock unit
> tests. The gmock are only as good as their mock implementations which do a
> great job of simulating protocol correctness but not more complex
> interactions. They also can't really simulate the types of lock contention
> and subtle memory stomps that show up while doing hundreds or thousands of
> concurrent reads. We should add a new minidfscluster test that focuses on
> heavy read/seek load and then randomly convert error codes returned by
> network functions into errors.
> List of things to simulate(while heavily loaded), roughly in order of how
> badly I think they need to be tested at the moment:
> -Rpc connection disconnect
> -Rpc connection slowed down enough to cause a timeout and trigger retry
> -DN connection disconnect
