Yes, I believe we need both. However, I'd probably just start with
something smaller and see how it behaves before going with big data
sets.

I'm not saying we don't need tests with proper data sets, I'm saying
that I'd probably start with smaller ones. As Mike already mentioned
in his email, there's an impact in writes and we can see that from
Rally tests, AFAICT.

The spec can come later, IMHO.

Cheers,
Flavio
