The iox_data_generator tool creates random data points according to a specification and loads them
into an iox instance to simulate real data.
To build and run, first install Rust. Then from root of the influxdb_iox repo run:
cargo build --release
And the built binary has command line help:
./target/release/iox_data_generator --help
For examples of specifications see the schemas folder. The full_example is the most comprehensive with comments and example output.
