                 Key: MAPREDUCE-1261
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-1261
             Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: contrib/mumak
            Reporter: Arun C Murthy


I propose we enhance mumak to implement a proper 'stress-test' tool for the 
JobTracker. The idea is that we enhance mumak to have a mode where it can use 
the *real* JobTracker (and Scheduler of course) and mumak's 
SimulatedTaskTracker to run real workloads from production job-history traces. 
Clearly we will need to make necessary changes to allow the 
SimulatedTaskTrackers to run independently (a thread per SimulatedTT) in a 
distributed manner.

We can then simulate very large clusters and workloads using a handful of 
machines (say ~50 machines to simulate workload which originally ran on a 4000 
node cluster), also we can use this to stress the JobTracker with synthetic 
workloads.

Thoughts?
