Thanks, Milind! I looked at potentially coming out for the workshop, however, the CfP asked for up to 12 page papers. That gave me the impression that this meeting of the workshop was starting to try to narrow its focus and go more in-depth on topics, and get closer to converging on a final benchmark.
I'm pretty early on with my NameNode benchmark, and its somewhat specific to the NameNode, so I didn't think it'd be a good fit for what this workshop was trying to accomplish. I thought it might have been appropriate at an earlier workshop, where the topics seemed to be more wide-ranging. If I'm mistaken I'd look into trying to head out for this workshop, or the next one.
