Owen O'Malley commented on HADOOP-6248:
---------------------------------------
This is not ready to commit. It may be useful at somepoint, but there is
currently no value there. It is hard to evaluate what you are trying to
accomplish, since this is just an empty shell. There needs to be substantial
added value over the current distribution to be worth including a patch in our
code base.
Please review the MiniMRCluster and MiniHDFSCluster. We already have a lot of
system tests.
It would actually be more useful to have a mock object framework to support
real unit tests...
I'd suggest making less ambitious goals. A smoke test script that submits some
of the examples might make sense, but it would just look like:
* Write a file to hdfs
* Run some of the examples from the examples jar (wordcount, rand-writer, sort,
sort-validation)
* Remove files
But it has nothing to do with system testing, just a light smoke test.
It certainly shouldn't be doing downloads or installs. That is just overkill.
On the other hand, it would be nice to have a patch to build.xml to generate
RPMs (HADOOP-6255).

> This issue contains a proposal and preliminary source code for Circus, a
> Hadoop system testing framework. At a high level, Circus will help Hadoop
> users and QA engineers to run system tests on a configurable Hadoop cluster,
