<p>
        The synthetic load generator is a tool for testing NameNode behavior
        under different client loads. The user can generate different mixes 
        of read, write, and list requests by specifying the probabilities of
        read and write. The user controls the intensity of the load by adjusting
        parameters for the number of worker threads and the delay between 
        operations. While load generators are running, the user can profile and
        monitor the running of the NameNode. When a load generator exits, it
        prints some NameNode statistics like the average execution time of each
        kind of operation and the NameNode throughput.

                one load generator is running.

<br>

                requests to NameNode when running with a single thread;
                default is the current time.</span>
<br>
			
</p>
<p>
        After command line argument parsing, the load generator traverses 
        the test space and builds a table of all directories and another table
        of all files in the test space. It then waits until the start time to
        spawn the number of worker threads as specified by the user. Each
        thread sends a stream of requests to NameNode. At each iteration, 
        it first decides if it is going to read a file, create a file, or
        list a directory following the read and write probabilities specified
        by the user. The listing probability is equal to 
        <em>1-read probability-write probability</em>. When reading, 
        it randomly picks a file in the test space and reads the entire file. 
        When writing, it randomly picks a directory in the test space and 
        creates a file there. To avoid two threads with the same load 
        generator or from two different load generators create the same 
        file, the file name consists of the current machine's host name 
        and the thread id. The length of the file follows Gaussian 
        distribution with an average size of 2 blocks and the standard 
        deviation of 1. The new file is filled with byte 'a'. To avoid
        the test space to grow indefinitely, the file is deleted immediately
        after the file creation completes. While listing, it randomly 
        picks a directory in the test space and lists its content. 
        After an operation completes, the thread pauses for a random 
        amount of time in the range of [0, maxDelayBetweenOps] if the 
        specified maximum delay is not zero. All threads are stopped when 
        the specified elapsed time is passed. Before exiting, the program 
        prints the average execution for each kind of NameNode operations, 
        and the number of requests served by the NameNode per second.

<div class="section">

        The user needs to populate a test space before she runs a 
        load generator. The structure generator generates a random 
        test space structure and the data generator creates the files 
        and directories of the test space in Hadoop distributed file system.

        This tool generates a random namespace structure with the

                                </p>
<ol>
        
<li>The number of subdirectories that a directory can have is 
            a random number in [minWidth, maxWidth].</li>
        
<li>The maximum depth of each subdirectory is a random number 
            [2*maxDepth/3, maxDepth].</li>
        
<li>Files are randomly placed in leaf directories. The size of 
            each file follows Gaussian distribution with an average size 
            of 1 block and a standard deviation of 1.</li>
                                        
</ol>
<p>
        The generated namespace structure is described by two files in 
        the output directory. Each line of the first file contains the 
        full name of a leaf directory. Each line of the second file 
        contains the full name of a file and its size, separated by a blank.
