+# storage-benchwrapper
+
+storage-benchwrapper is a gRPC wrapper around the storage library for benchmarking purposes.
+
+## Running
+
+```
+mvn clean install -DskipTests=true (one time)
+cd google-cloud-testing/storage-benchwrapper
+export STORAGE_EMULATOR_HOST=localhost:8080
+mvn clean install exec:java -DskipTests=true -Dport=8081
+```
+
+## Generating .proto sources
+
+Sources are generated as part of the protobuf-maven-plugin plugin, but if you'd
+like to generate them yourself to see the output you can run:
+
+```
+cd google-cloud-testing/storage-benchwrapper
+protoc \
+    --plugin=protoc-gen-grpc-java=build/exe/java_plugin/protoc-gen-grpc-java \
+    --java_out=src/main/java \
+    --grpc-java_out=src/main/java \
+    --proto_path=src/main/proto \
+    src/main/proto/*.proto
+```
+
+Note that you'll need to delete these, or uncomment the plugin, since multiple
+definitions of the same class are not allowed.
+
+Note that these should not be committed into git.
+
+Note that you can also `mvn compile -DskipTests=true` and see sources in
+`target/generated-sources/`.
+
+## Debugging HTTP requests
+
+To debug HTTP requests, place a `logging.properties` at
+`google-cloud-testing/storage-benchwrapper/logging.properties` with the
+following contents:
+
+```
+# Properties file which configures the operation of the JDK logging facility.
+# The system will look for this config file to be specified as a system property:
+# -Djava.util.logging.config.file=${project_loc:googleplus-simple-cmdline-sample}/logging.properties
+
+# Set up the console handler (uncomment "level" to show more fine-grained messages)
+handlers = java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler
+java.util.logging.ConsoleHandler.level = CONFIG
+
+# Set up logging of HTTP requests and responses (uncomment "level" to show)
+com.google.api.client.http.level = CONFIG
+```
