Colin Patrick McCabe commented on HADOOP-12261: ----------------------------------------------- Btw, [~alanbur]... I agree that the Hadoop test suite could be in better shape than it is. It is certainly frustrating. I think what you should do is create a blacklist of tests that you can't get to work, and work towards validating Solaris support on all the other tests. Over time, you can gradually take tests off the blacklist as we fix whatever is making them flaky or difficult to run in your environment. > Surefire needs to make sure the JVMs it fires up fit within the memory > available > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-12261 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-12261 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: test > Affects Versions: 2.7.1 > Reporter: Alan Burlison > Assignee: Alan Burlison > > hadoop-project/pom.xml sets maven-surefire-plugin.argLine to include > -Xmx4096m. Allocating that amount of memory requires a 64-bit JVM, but on > platforms with both 32 and 64-bit JVMs surefire runs the 32 bit version by > default and tests fail to start as a result. "-d64" should be added to the > command-line arguments to ensure a 64-bit JVM is always used. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
