Description

It would be a great to have a tool, running on a real grid, to perform function test (and stress tests to certain extent) for the file operations. The tool would be written in Java and makes HDFS API calls to read, write, append, hflush hadoop files. The tool would be usable standalone, or as a building block for other regression or stress test suites (written in shell, perl, python, etc).
