In Caliper ~0.5, benchmark runs were accompanied by some human readable console output for each benchmark run, e.g.:
stringCount benchmark ns linear runtime
2 Concat 73.3 =
2 StringBuilderSized 126.6 =
2 StringBuilderDefault 182.9 =
2 PlusOp 163.9 =
10 Concat 1949.4 =========
10 StringBuilderSized 620.7 ==
10 StringBuilderDefault 1236.0 =====
10 PlusOp 1288.9 ======
This output doesn't seem to be available in Caliper 1.0, but I'm wondering if there is any way to restore it?
The text output is very useful as both immediate feedback (especially when repeatedly tuning the benchmark or the code being timed), as well as textual output that can be easily and permanently embedded into various text sources. The web app is superior for most purposes (and includes additional critical information, such as the deviation of the results) - but there are times where the text output would be appreciated.
