> Key: HADOOP-11929
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-11929
> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Sean Busbey
> Assignee: Allen Wittenauer
> Priority: Minor
>
> Sean Busbey and I had a chat about this at the Bug Bash. Here's the proposal:
> * Introduce the concept of a 'personality module'.
> * There can be only one personality.
> * Personalities provide a single function that takes as input the name of
> the test current being processed
> * This function uses two other built-in functions to define two queues:
> maven module name and profiles to use against those maven module names
> * If something needs to be compiled prior to this test (but not actually
> tested), the personality will be responsible for doing that compilation
> In hadoop, the classic example is hadoop-hdfs needs common compiled with the
> native bits. So prior to the javac tests, the personality would check
> CHANGED_MODULES, see hadoop-hdfs, and compile common w/ -Pnative prior to
> letting test-patch.sh do the work in hadoop-hdfs. Another example is our lack
> of test coverage of various native bits. Since these require profiles to be
> defined prior to compilation, the personality could see that something
> touches native code, set the appropriate profile, and let test-patch.sh be on
> its way.
> One way to think of it is some higher order logic on top of the automated
> 'figure out what modules and what tests to run' functions.
