> A while back we implemented the 'queries' from
>   http://datalab.cs.pdx.edu/niagara/NEXMark/
> as Gooogle Dataflow pipelines. We found them useful
> for uncovering performance problems with the sdk, our runners,
> and our service. Many of those problems only manifested under
> high load, multi-day runs, or with high 'backlog' on the incoming
> pub/sub subscriptions.
> We thus think they would be useful for other runners.
> Disclaimer: Though the original 'queries' were proposed as a way to
> benchmark 'continuous SQL' implementations, we have so far only
> used them for internal A/B and regression testing and have not validated
> them as representative of customer workloads. We would thus discourage their use for competitive benchmarks without more work.
