Some notes from yesterday's Accumulo day at ASRC Federal Vistronix <https://www.asrcfederal.com/vistronix>...
There was some discussion about creating some performance tests in the Testing repo. Keith helped Elina get 2 PRs going: https://github.com/apache/accumulo-testing/pull/79 https://github.com/apache/accumulo-testing/pull/75 We talked about some ideas for redoing the IT framework. Here is the open issue: https://github.com/apache/accumulo/issues/1074 It would be nice to have ITs utilize the Maven life cycle. Christopher gave a lesson on the Maven lifecycle. https://maven.apache.org/guides/introduction/introduction-to-the-lifecycle.html Maven surefire plugin has lots of different ways to run tests. https://maven.apache.org/surefire/maven-surefire-plugin/test-mojo.html We discussed recent changes to documentation and website reorganization for 2.0. Website 2.0 blog post <https://accumulo.apache.org/blog/2017/06/29/accumulo-documentation-improvements.html>. 2.0 User manual exists now on the website here <https://accumulo.apache.org/docs/2.x/getting-started/quickstart>. I plan on putting this link on the main page somewhere since folks were having trouble finding it. Also discussed the "resource vs. complexity" curve, and the general philosophy to move towards less complex, wherever possible, in order to stay within resource limitations, as it applies to Accumulo. Mike Walch had given a presentation last year at the Accumulo Summit and discussed this.
