[Performance] distributed deployments of NightHawk to enable distributed performance tests #165

Open DelusionalOptimist opened 3 years ago

DelusionalOptimist commented 3 years ago

Current Behavior

Right now performance tests using NightHawk are limited to single instance load generation. This limits the amount of traffic that can be generated to the output of the single machine that the benchmark tool runs on in or out of a cluster.

Desired Behavior

Support distributed deployments of NightHawk to enable users to run distributed performance tests to better mimic real-world, distributed systems scenarios.
