Hi, FAIL SAFE PLUGIN: FailSafe Plugin sounds like a great idea. My understanding is that we startup and kill the hdfs, zookeeper and HBase cluster instances for every test suite ( Please correct me if I am wrong here ) . .
With FailSafe plugin we would be able to achieve the following things: 1. Spawn hdfs, zookeeper and HBase cluster once, run the tests and shut them down at the end. I guess this is what pre and post integration tests are meant for ( Considering we aren't testing failure scenarios ) 2. Also have to make sure the tests are runnable alone and not only in bulk. Considering that we wouldn't have to run tests for 4 hrs ( 2 w/0 patch and 2 with patch ). I would be glad to work on this transition. Please count me in. BARNEY : As for a 'barney', maybe something through twitter where when someone breaks the build, the previous person posts a pic of barney to the receiver? I was wondering why not have a VIRTUAL BARNEY as a Hudson Barney Plugin :) Once a build breaks because of some1 the next time the same person checks in it would warn saying this person had already broken the build last time and he had also broken the build so many times in the past so BEWARE :P Apologies since I am increasing non-productive work unrelated to HBase. But I feel it would be kinda nice :) Cheers, Akash A
