[jboss-jira] [JBoss JIRA] Updated: (JGRP-837) Add failure simulation capabilities to Simulator

Add failure simulation capabilities to Simulator ------------------------------------------------- Key: JGRP-837 URL: https://jira.jboss.org/jira/browse/JGRP-837 Project: JGroups Issue Type: Feature Request Reporter: Richard Achmatowicz Assignee: Richard Achmatowicz Priority: Minor The Simulator can be used to test protocol layers in isolation. Multiple Simulator instances can be configured so that they model a multicast group. In its present state, messages are transported from one Simulator instance to another by the send_thread, which moves messages from send_queue to recv_queue in a reliable fashion. Futhermore, all Simulators perform at the same speed. I'd like to use the Simulator to additionally simulate failures, in order to check the robustness of the protocols. In particular, i'd like to model: * dropped, reordered, corrupted messages * failed processors ('crash' failure) * network partitions * slow processes This JIRA issue will track progress on this and allow for discussion.
