Roman Shaposhnik reassigned BIGTOP-635:
---------------------------------------
Assignee: Sujay Rau (was: Roman Shaposhnik)
@Andrew, thanks for pointing HADOOP-8468 out. This is indeed what we have to
keep an eye on.
Regarding your other comment -- I agree that it is the way to go here: make it
pluggable and start small. I'm reassigning this to Sujay who expressed his
willingness to prototype. I think the focus for him is going to be gradually
building this API while re-factoring some of the tests he's already created.

> Key: BIGTOP-635
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BIGTOP-635
> Project: Bigtop
> Issue Type: New Feature
> Components: Tests
> Affects Versions: 0.4.0
> Reporter: Roman Shaposhnik
> Assignee: Sujay Rau

> We've come to a point where our tests need to have a uniform way of
> interfacing with the cluster under test. It is no longer ok to assume that
> the test can be executed on a particular node (and thus have access to
> services running on it). It is also less than ideal for tests to assume a
> particular type of interaction with the services since it tends to break in
> different deployment scenarios.
> A framework that needs to be put in place has to be capable of (regardless of
> where a test using it is executed on):
> # representing the abstract configuration of the cluster
> # representing the abstract topology of the entire cluster (services
> running on a cluster, nodes hosting the daemons, racks, etc).
> # giving tests an ability to query this topology
> # giving tests an ability to affect the nodes in that topology in a
> particular way (refreshing configuration, restarting services, etc.)
> Of course, the ideal solution here would be to give Bigtop tests a
> programmatic access to a Hadoop cluster management framework such as
> Cloudera's CM or Apache Ambari.
> As with any ideal solutions I don't think it is realistic though. Hence we
> have to cook something up. At this point I'm really focused on getting the
> API right and I'm totally fine with an implementation of that API to be
> something as silly as a bunch of ssh-based scripts or something.
> This JIRA is primarily focused on coming up with such an API. Anybody who's
> willing to help is welcome to.
