HTTP client to generate traffic for testing Flume

Question

I am testing a flume setup. I am willing to generate some HTTP traffic using some Traffic generators which can be implemented/integrated with Java and Flume for load testing of my Flume and HDFS setup.

Any Suggestions?

Thanks in advance!

Answer 1

Did you look at apache ab. ab is one of the widely used apache benchmarking tool for http. This can be used to create http load and simulate concurrent users.
