StructuredNoise

This is a utility to generate Avro-schema-templated noise

Features:

README-driven development ;)

  • Reads an avro scheme indicated by --schema and writes noise to STDOUT
  • If given --base64 it converts the avro binary data to Basee64 before sending it to STDOUT
  • Respects a --messages-per-second command

TODO FEATURES:

  • --template filename should support a JSON-structure template for Avro messages, with 'fill in the blanks' as like.. * or something.
  • --malicious-compliance will toggle generating edge-case data compliant with given Avro types
