Hi dev community!
Many of you need no introduction to the test framework developed by MapR
https://github.com/mapr/drill-test-framework
. For those who don't know, the test framework contains around 10k tests
often exercising scenarios not covered by Drill's unit tests. Just weeks
ago it revealed a regression in a Drill 1.20 RC and saved us from
shipping with that bug. The linked repository has been dormant for going
on two years but I am aware of bits of work that have been done on the
test framework since, and today Anton is actively dusting off and
updating it. Since the codebase is under the Apache 2.0 license, we are
free to bring a copy into the Drill project. I've created a new
(currently empty) possible home for the test framework at
https://github.com/apache/drill-test-framework
Before I proceed to push a clone there, please vote if you support or
oppose our adoption of the test framework.
P.S. I have also sent a message to a contact at HPE just in case they
might be aware of some concern applicable to our copying this repo but,
given the license applied, I cannot see that there will be be one.
Should anything get raised (and we'd decided to proceed) I would, of
course, pause so that we can discuss.
Regards
James
