4. I've never previously created a manual test case. The
`LargeCompressedEntrySizeTest` in this PR is expected to be a manual
test case (given how long it might take to run on various different
systems). The only difference between this test case and other jtreg
automated tests is the absence of a `@test` on this one. Is this how
manual tests are written or is there some other way?
We avoid manual tests as there is no guarantee that they will be run.
So maybe we'll need to explore the scenario a bit further to see if
there is some way to come up with an automated test. The jtreg foo
for manual tests is `@run main/manual LargeCompressedEntrySizeTest`.
You'll see a few examples in the test suite but I don't know if they
are ever run.
I have updated the PR to use jtreg's construct of @run testng/manual
to mark this as a manual test. I will post the timing of this test
case later today after I run the latest version locally and see how
long it's taking.
On my local setup, the LargeCompressedEntrySizeTest (latest version of
this PR) consistently takes between 205 to 215 seconds to complete (so
between 3 to 4 minutes). Is that something that will allow it to be
added as part of automated tests or is it too long for automated tests?
