Rephrase docs call things properly
In a lot of placeses we are using word "benchmark" which can mean workload, subtask, or test case which is very confusing. This patch partially address wrong usage of "benchamrk" word Change-Id: Id3b2b7ae841a5243684c12cc51c96f005dbe7544

Use Case
|
||||
--------
|
||||
|
||||
To benchmark many of operations like show, list, detailed you need to have
|
||||
already these resource in cloud. So it will be nice to be able to create
|
||||
benchmark environment once before benchmarking. So run some amount of
|
||||
benchmarks that are using it and at the end just delete all created resources
|
||||
by benchmark environment.
|
||||
There are situations when same environment is used across different tasks.
|
||||
For example you would like to improve operation of listing objects.
|
||||
For example:
|
||||
|
||||
- Create hundreds of objects
|
||||
- Collect baseline of list performance
|
||||
- Fix something in system
|
||||
- Repeat the performance test
|
||||
- Repeat fixing and testing until things are fixed.
|
||||
|
||||
Current implementation of Rally will force you to recreate task context which
|
||||
is time consuming operation.

Problem Description

||||

The actual **Rally core** consists of 3 main components, listed below in the
|
||||
order they go into action:
|
||||
|

1. **Server Providers** - provide a **unified interface** for interaction
|
||||
with different **virtualization technologies** (*LXS*, *Virsh* etc.) and
|
||||
**cloud suppliers** (like *Amazon*): it does so via *ssh* access and in
|
||||
one *L3 network*;
|
||||
2. **Deploy Engines** - deploy some OpenStack distribution (like *DevStack*
|
||||
or *FUEL*) before any benchmarking procedures take place, using servers
|
||||
retrieved from Server Providers;
|
||||
3. **Verification** - runs *Tempest* (or another specific set of tests)
|
||||
against the deployed cloud to check that it works correctly, collects
|
||||
results & presents them in human readable form;
|
||||
4. **Benchmark Engine** - allows to write parameterized benchmark scenarios
|
||||
& run them against the cloud.
|
||||
1. **Deploy** - store credentials about your deployments, credentials
|
||||
are used by verify and task commands. It has plugable mechanism that
|
||||
allows one to implement basic LCM for testing environment as well.
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Verify** - wraps unittest based functional testing framework to
|
||||
provide complete tool with result storage and reporting.
|
||||
Currently has only plugin implemneted for OpenStack Tempest.
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Task** - framework that allows to write parametrized plugins and
|
||||
combine them in complex test cases using YAML. Framework allows to
|
||||
produce all kinds of tests including functional, concurrency,
|
||||
regression, load, scale, capacity and even chaos testing.

It should become fairly obvious why Rally core needs to be split to these parts

Below we describe how we found a `bug in Keystone`_ and achieved 2x average
|
||||
performance increase at booting Nova servers after fixing that bug. Our initial
|
||||
goal was to benchmark the booting of a significant amount of servers on a
|
||||
cluster (running on a custom build of `Mirantis OpenStack`_ v5.1) and to ensure
|
||||
that this operation has reasonable performance and completes with no errors.
