+==== Enable write sniffing in canary

+By default, the canary tool only check the read operations, it's hard to find the problem in the
+write path. To enable the write sniffing, you can run canary with the `-writeSniffing` option.
+When the write sniffing is enabled, the canary tool will create a hbase table and make sure the
+regions of the table distributed on all region servers. In each sniffing period, the canary will
+try to put data to these regions to check the write availability of each region server.
