ASF GitHub Bot commented on HADOOP-18866: ----------------------------------------- Taher-Ghaleb commented on PR #5982: URL: https://github.com/apache/hadoop/pull/5982#issuecomment-1693391933 Thanks @steveloughran for your response. I get your point, but I would like to get your input on the refactorings performed in this PR, and how such a practice is acceptable in general. In your opinion, why are those test cases still using `@Test(expected)` instead of the better alternative using `assertThrows`? I have created a Jira report and prefixed its id to the PR title.
