Features

Pool of Tasks

• Support for floating-point (DOUBLE) constants and variables
• Use floating point for perceents in table distribution

• Custom Variables related
  • filesizegamma parameter is not needed as we have custom/random variables with gamma distribution

• Update USAGE text

• revisit ioprio support

• Fix compilation bugs and warning from the bug reporting systems

• Revisit part-by-part Filebench executiong (create-fileset, create-proc, stat_snap)

• Remove interactive support

• Resurect test machine and keep testing running

• Predictable random numbers (seed=) for reproducible experiments

• usec/cpu-op is incorrect for oltp workload. OLTP in general works weird. Figure it out, do it only after process model is enabled.
