The Random binary data set
The set is created by the script https://github.com/futures/ff-fixtures/blob/master/create_random_files.sh which writes the files to objects/random and creates the necessary manifest-md5.txt file used by the JMeter Tests at https://github.com/futures/ff-jmeter-madness
It works by using some standard GNU commands including dd, rm and md5sum and iterates over er the filesizes in https://github.com/futures/ff-fixtures/blob/master/random_sizes.data in order to create one file of the given size in megabytes. This to a certain extend ensures the comparability of the measurements, since the exactly the same nmber of files with the same number of bytes is created each time the data set is generated.
In order to create the binary test data set checkout the project https://github.com/futures/ff-jmeter-madness first:
