     2  
     3  `carbon_load` is a tool to generate load on a carbon ingestion port.
     4  
     5  # Usage
     6  ```
     7  $ git clone git@github.com:m3db/m3.git
     8  $ make carbon_load
     9  $ ./bin/clone_fileset -h
    10  
    11  # example usage
    12  # ./carbon_load               \

    21  # Benchmarking Carbon Ingestion
    22  
    23  The easiest way to benchmark carbon ingestion end-to-end is to:
    24  
    25  1. Use `start_m3` to get an entire M3 stack running, including an aggregated namespace and a carbon ingestion port.
    26  
    27  2. Run this tool with the target pointed at the exposed carbon ingestion port on the `start_m3` stack.
    28  
    29  3. Use `pprof` to take CPU and heap profiles of `m3coordinator` while the `carbon_load` tool is running.
