cstar_perf

cstar_perf is a performance testing platform for Apache Cassandra.

In a mostly automated fashion, it can do the following:

• Download and build Cassandra source code
• Download and setup DSE binaries
• Configure and bootstrap nodes
• Run stress workloads
• Capture performance metrics
• Create reports and charts comparing different configs/workloads
• Webserver frontend for scheduling tests, viewing prior runs, and monitoring test clusters.
