Stephen Watt commented on HADOOP-6332:
--------------------------------------
Great discussion. Kos, et al.. do you think we are at point where we can
consider starting to write some code ? Another thing we need to do is identify
which of the functional tests we are going to port. 12/11 is my last day but I
will be back on 1/4. Not sure how much run way we have before 0.21 is due but
I'd like to see if we can at least have the framework plus a couple of tests
available in time for the release.

> Hadoop would benefit from having a large-scale, automated, test-framework.
> This jira is meant to be a master-jira to track relevant work.
> ----
> The proposal is a junit-based, large-scale test framework which would run
> against _real_ clusters.
> There are several pieces we need to achieve this goal:
> # A set of utilities we can use in junit-based tests to work with real,
> large-scale hadoop clusters. E.g. utilities to bring up to deploy, start &
> stop clusters, bring down tasktrackers, datanodes, entire racks of both etc.
> # Enhanced control-ability and inspect-ability of the various components in
> the system e.g. daemons such as namenode, jobtracker should expose their
> data-structures for query/manipulation etc. Tests would be much more relevant
> if we could for e.g. query for specific states of the jobtracker, scheduler
> etc. Clearly these apis should _not_ be part of the production clusters -
> hence the proposal is to use aspectj to weave these new apis to
> debug-deployments.
> ----
> Related note: we should break up our tests into at least 3 categories:
> # src/test/unit -> Real unit tests using mock objects (e.g. HDFS-669 &
> MAPREDUCE-1050).
> # src/test/integration -> Current junit tests with Mini* clusters etc.
> # src/test/system -> HADOOP-6332 and it's children
