#Custom JMeter sampler for authenticated S3 requests

This is a custom java sampler class that can be used to benchmark any S3 compatible system. It was tested against AWS and RIAK-CS 1.3.1.

Version 0.1 (alpha)

Written by: Alex Bordei @ Bigstep (alex at bigstep dt com)

##Dependencies:

• apache jmeter sources 2.11
• AWS SDK 1.8.1

##How to use Build using maven

mvn package

Extract zip into JMeter directory

cd jmeter_home
unzip path/to/jmeter_s3_custom_sampler/target/*.zip 

Run jmeter as ususual

sh ./bin/jmeter.sh 

Add a new jmeter Java sampler, use the com.bigstep.S3Sampler class.

Add your AWS key id, bucket, object and the rest.

When testing against another system then AWS use the proxy settings to redirect requests somewhere else. Please note that the requests will still have the original host header pointing to amazonaws.com but the system should handle the requests nontheless.

Only GET and PUT methods are currently implemented but others should be very easy to add.
