# Overview # people-loader is a simple little program which generates fake people entries with plausible names and addresses, and loads them into a gemfire cluster. It is useful for demos and smoke tests.

It uses pdx serialization. The key is an Integer unless --partition-by-zip is passed in which case the key is a custom class which implements PartitionResolver based on the zip code. Objects are inserted in batches of 100 using region.putAll.

Prerequisites

• A running GemFire 9.0.4+ cluster with a region defined.
• java 1.8 runtime
• python2 or python3 (only needed for the convenience script)

Usage Examples#

• Put 10 randomly generated Person entries into the default region (Person)

python peopleloader.py  --locator=host[port]  --count=10

• Put 10 randomly generated Person entries into a region called Customer

python peopleloader.py  --locator=host[port]  --count=10 --region=Customer

• Use 10 threads to put 10,000 randomly generated Person entries into a the Person region.

python peopleloader.py  --locator=host[port]  --count=10000 --threads=10000

• Use 10 threads to put 10,000 randomly generated Person entries into a the Person region but sleep 500ms after each put

python peopleloader.py  --locator=host[port]  --count=10000 --threads=10 --sleep=500

• Put 10 randomly generated Person entries into the default region (Person). Use a custom key so the entries will be partitioned by zip code.

python peopleloader.py  --locator=host[port]  --count=10 --partition-by-zip
