nomadacris

A Java slave to [locust.io|http://locust.io].

Locust supports a master and slave configuration. Slaves run the tests. Master and slaves communicate over a socket and messages are encoded using msgpack. Slaves can be written in any language. The main software implements slaves in python. [Boomer|https://github.com/myzhan/boomer] implements a slave in Golang.

Nomadacris implements a slave in Java.

Major differences

• ZeroMQ is not yet supported.
• TaskSet and Tasks protocol is not yet the same as the python implementation.
• Parallelism is implemented using Threadpools and not CoRoutines.

Run Example

Start Locust Master

# dummy.py is an artifact of the python implementation
pip install locustio
locust -f nomadacris/dummy.py --master --master-bind-host=127.0.0.1 --master-bind-port=5557

Run Example

mvn clean package
java -jar target/nomadacris-1.0-SNAPSHOT.jar -m 127.0.0.1 -p 5557 \
     --taskList com.github.vrajat.nomadacris.examples.Fibonacci
