1326243 - Update sync storage server load tests

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Firefox :: Sync, defect, P3)

Description

[Thom Chiovoloni [:tcsc] (ex-moco)]

From IRC discussion on Bug 676563, bobm requested that we put a bit of work into updating https://github.com/mozilla-services/server-syncstorage/tree/master/loadtest to better reflect the current client traffic.

Naively, improving it so that it doubles some portion (25% was suggested in IRC) of the bookmark traffic doesn't seem too hard.

12:44:36 PM <bobm> In my opinion, your client change won't impact the service.  But I'd like to be able test this, and/or other client tests when we have these kinds of questions.
12:44:56 PM <bobm> Such as the repair work that kit is working on.
...
12:50:06 PM <bobm> tcsc: Cool, I'm not saying that this is a blocker on your work.  But I'd like to couple client changes with updates or at least note when we should be changing it, even if we don't.

(note: This is likely in the wrong component, but I don't really want to risk it not showing up in our triage)

From mtg, we will do this but wont actually block waiting for it.

Speaking with Thom, we will have another look at this once https://github.com/mozilla-services/server-syncstorage/issues/57 is fixed.

I've started to port the test to Molotov, but the initial test is not working anymore - I think it has been the case for some while. (related to the Hawk authentication)

I'll work on this with Ryan Kelly but I don't know yet how long it'll take

This is done and verified.  Unfortunately, I have to do this in two steps.
