Hmm, perhaps a bit of confusion from the title. It sounds like they ran the Jepsen suite of tests against rqlite, which is great, but not done _by_ Jepsen / Kyle (https://jepsen.io https://jepsen.io). Others have done this themselves too and that's fine, but half the of the problem is correctly implementing the tests which has been done incorrectly by others in the past.
- otoolep 4y agoOK, how do you suggest I change the title? I'm open to a better one. I'm used to the casual use of "Jepsen" for this type of testing. But yes, there is also the case where Kyle does the testing himself -- and this is not that. Their implementation is up on GitHub, I'm sure they would be interested in any feedback on it. https://github.com/wildarch/jepsen.rqlite https://github.com/wildarch/jepsen.rqlite (To be clear, I wasn't involved with this testing, I just heard about it today and found it interesting)

- Blackthorn 4y agoI'd probably call it "Jepsen-testing". English is ambiguous, only so much you can do, so don't worry about it. People rag on titles too much on this site anyway.
- otoolep 4y agoI called it "Jepsen-style" testing.
- Operyl 4y agoMy "ragging" is appropriate here because Jepsen is both the name of a reputable database testing group and the test suite. A lot of people do drive-by HN, without reading the specific submission too closely, and having an accurate title is important. The new title edited in is much better than the original was.
- dang 4y agoI don't see any need to rewrite the title here, so I've reverted it from "Jepsen-style testing of rqlite, the distributed DB built on Raft and SQLite". From https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html https://news.ycombinator.com/newsguidelines.html: "Please use the original title, unless it is misleading or linkbait; don't editorialize."

- otoolep 4y agoThat's reasonable -- thanks.
- kjeetgill 4y agoIt's worth pointing out that Kyle who goes by Aphyr, not Jepsen, which is the tool he wrote for this testing.
- Operyl 4y agoI meant to point it out in the sense of the organization, and called him out by name mostly just because he’s kind of the guy out front. I always forget his exact username.
