The HBase Project has been developing a set of big tests that are too large to run as part of the regular hbase project unit tests suite. They are currently run adhoc by individual developers. We are looking for a home for these tests, a location where they could be automatically run with some periodicity.
Would it be possible to run them on the bigtop test infrastructure? Their general nature is set up a cluster, run a number of pretty intensive steps -- e.g. loading lots of artificial data -- while optionally, a chaos monkey is doing its damndest to break things. The tests can be sized to match cluster size, from mini-all-in-the-one-jvm up to clusters of hundreds of nodes. On the end, the test generates a report and logs. A fuller description can be found here [1]. What you all think? Thanks, St.Ack 1. http://hbase.apache.org/book.html#integration.tests
