             Summary: Add text option for cassandra cassandra-stress  
                 Key: CASSANDRA-11941
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/CASSANDRA-11941
             Project: Cassandra
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Tools
         Environment: C* 2.1.13
            Reporter: Jose Martinez Poblete


Currently, we are able to specify a fixed length of a text field on a YAML file  as follows:

{noformat}
  - name: text_column
    size: fixed(100) 
{noformat}

That would fill our column with random characters

{noformat}
cqlsh:stresscql> select text_column from stresscql.msgindex limit 2;

 text_column
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
              D[\x04C[HA([o\rVae$-\x02wfC$\x00X)U\x11\x15o,zEG\\tsw)\x0b-}c\4\x15D\x0f\x1e{h[y7\x11(DIL\x12*\x01\x1fU:bRN:_T\x10\x7feN;NS\x19j?>K.q\x01dcB\x00t-nj!3;zsM1y

(2 rows)

{noformat}

For some test cases, that would be OK

But for some other cases we would like to have the option to take words from a source like /usr/share/dict/words to make up for the content up to - or slightly less - the amount in bytes specified for the column for testing data models that require actual words separated by a space
