Idea - chaos testing

[slnowak]

There is a project called pumba https://github.com/gaia-adm/pumba, that kind of simulates chaos testing that netflix does, on container level.

There's also dockerized pumba, that could be easily started without the need of having pumba installed on your OS.

@rnorth What do you think about creating a module/project that provides dockerized pumba and a small DSL for running it?
Arquillian has something similar (http://arquillian.org/blog/2016/08/30/arquillian-cube-q-1-0-0-Alpha1/, check Container Chaos).

I think it would be useful to have such tools integrated with testcontainers.

I still consider this a really valuable potential feature, and am quite looking forward to #283 when it comes.

Not a stale issue, despite the age!

This is now done since a while ago, in the form of #1330 - Toxiproxy support. I'll close this issue.
Thank you for the inspiration @slnowak.

I implemented a wrapper container for Pumba. The idea is to just wrap the existing docker container and add some Java utilities to start chaos commands. Also a graceful stop is needed.
You can find the simple implementation here:
https://github.com/datastax/cdc-apache-cassandra/blob/master/testcontainers/src/main/java/com/datastax/testcontainers/ChaosNetworkContainer.java

Only "netem loss" command is implemented but it should be easy to extend it to the others

If it's interesting I can work on it
