Caleb William Rackliffe updated CASSANDRA-7466:
-----------------------------------------------

    Description: 
Note: Instead of picking a version below, I'll simply note that I'm on 
{{trunk}} at commit {{c027183ea4e901cf1d44e06704f6d78f84405bb4}}

I pulled down the source and followed 
http://wiki.apache.org/cassandra/RunningCassandraInIDEA to import C* as an IDEA 
project. Everything in the tutorial works as it should, but when I tried to run 
the unit tests in {{test/unit/org.apache.cassandra}}, the suite failed a couple 
tests in, complaining that it couldn't find the {{system}} keyspace in 
{{build/test/cassandra/data}}.

tl;dr static initialization makes it hard to run the unit tests in the same JVM

The full story is that...
1.) When the first test in the suite is run, the {{system}} keyspace is created 
on disk and in the in-memory schema.
2.) Many subsequent tests, like {{BlacklistingCompactionsTest}}, remove the 
{{system}} keyspace directory (among other things) in {{defineSchema()}} with a 
call to {{SchemaLoader.prepareServer()}}.
3.) While these tests create the keyspaces they require, they do *not* recreate 
the system keyspace, and so they fail when they force a compaction or perform 
any other action that goes looking for it.

I guess there are two ways to fix this:
1.) We rebuild the system keyspace before for each test.
2.) We leave the system keyspace alone.

I took a hack at #1 in the attached patch. It looks like it to fixes this 
specific problem, but I'm not super-believable in this codebase yet...
