Enhance mumak to implement a 'stress-test' for the JobTracker -------------------------------------------------------------
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.
