Cool fancy output

Client Spec

Interface

There should be a cli interface build with clap and as well the possibility to send commands. The latter should not be done with a dialogue selector, but rather in an ncat style. This way you can also test your implementation for syntax errors and invalid commands. It should also be easier.

Options

• count: specify the number of test cases to generate and benchmark a client with (conflicts with time)
• time: specify the time to run your benchmark (conflicts with count)
• port: optionally give a specific port
• server: optionally specify the server, for example localhost or 0.0.0.0

Subcommands

• interactive (ncat style)
• benchmark (should automatically regenerate new test cases)

I started working on the client. In order to be more flexible with benchmarking and testing plans I'm working on an option to provide a config file.
What do you think about something like this:

general:
  totalduration: 10.0
  serverhostname: localhost
  serverport: 8080
  commandsperconn: 5
basic:
  key:
    minlen: 10
    maxlen: 1000
    alphanumeric: false
  value:
    minlen: 10
    maxlen: 1000
    alphanumeric: false
  cycleduration: -1.0
  cyclepattern: SET-GET-GET-GET-DEL

Looks nice
