I'm not convinced I like the methodology, but I do like the question.
I've done some similar testing of my own to see what the performance impact of using libraries' mechanisms for flushing writes to disk and found I could get pretty decent performance results.
However, I think this type of testing can prove that something isn't durable, but not being able to prove something isn't durable by observation doesn't imply that it is durable.
The only answer I'd really trust would be something along the lines of SQLite's testing strategy. Those guys get it right.
- ntoshev 17y agoWhat is the SQLite testing strategy?
- dlsspy 17y agoThey've done tech talks and the like on it, but I'd strongly recommend anyone intending to write software to read this: http://www.sqlite.org/testing.html http://www.sqlite.org/testing.html This topic is mostly section 3.3, but there's a lot to test.
