+# Kata Containers Cassandra Metrics
+
+Kata Containers provides a series of read and write performance tests using 
+Cassandra Stress tool. The Cassandra Stress tool is a Java-based stress testing 
+utility for basic benchmarking and load testing a cluster. This tool helps us 
+to populate a cluster and stress test CQL tables and queries. This test is 
+based in two operations, the first one is writing against the cluster or 
+populating the database and the second one is reading the cluster that was 
+populated by the writing test.
+
+## Running the test
+
+Individual tests can be run by hand, for example: 
+
+``` 
+$ cd metrics/disk/cassandra_kubernetes 
+$ ./cassandra.sh 
+```
