How to put objects with non-random data using obj.generator

[a-out-10-2]

There's a Warp option called --obj.generator.

--obj.generator value Use specific data generator (default: "random")

It looks like this option only accepts tokens "random" or "csv". How can I utilize this option on the CLI? Can I pass-in my own CSV file to determines the data written for each Put object?

What purpose does it add providing your own object?

@harshavardhana: The purpose is so that I can decide how compressible I want each put object.

Example:

• highly compressible objects: data all one value (zeros)
• partially compressible objects: data 50% one value, %50 another value (e.g. zeros and ones)

For that warp is not the right tool, you should write that with your application and measure it. Warp won't really measure compression that happens on the server side.
