What are innotest scripts in the sql-bench directory

I was getting some benchmarks going and I noticed there are several scripts in my sql-bench directory that begin “innotest”:

innotest1
innotest1a
innotest1b
innotest2
innotest2a
innotest2b

The documentation said run them concurrently, so I did:
perl innotest1 > output/innotest1.txt &
perl innotest1a > output/innotest1a.txt &
perl innotest1b > output/innotest1b.txt &

Other than generate a huge load, what did these scripts do? How can I use them? What are they for?

I couldn’t find any documentation on them anywhere.

1. That's just about what they do, put the server under heavy load.

You probably don’t, since the only thing you do after running these scripts is to check the .err file to see if the server has crashed or if you have got any errors.

It’s just a stress test, it’s not intended as a benchmarking test.
