Brock Noland commented on HIVE-4675:
------------------------------------
To summarize, here is where we are at:
-HIVE-4675 (this jira) contains ptest2 which works on a fixed number of
dedicated hosts
-HIVE-4815 updates ptest2 to work with ec2 spot instances
-An Apache Jenkins build has been executing over the holiday weekend
What are you thoughts on committing HIVE-4675 and HIVE-4815 [~ashutoshc]?
I have been using ptest2 to execute Hive trunk builds on the Apache jenkins:
https://builds.apache.org/job/Hive-trunk-hadoop1-ptest/. The tests have been
running on ec2 spot instances. Things have been going very well. It takes about
2 hours via 8 XL ec2 spot instances. Since build 27 I have only been making
minor changes.
Summary of Builds since stabilization
* Passed [28, 29, 33, 34, 35, 36, 38, 39, 40]
* Failed due a flaky test [27, 30, 37]
* Failed due to my mistake [31, 32] (compilation error) [41] (restarted the
webserver hosting the service)

> The current ptest tool is great, but it has the following limitations:
> -Requires an NFS filer
> -Unless the NFS filer is dedicated ptests can become IO bound easily
> -Investigating of failures is troublesome because the source directory for
> the failure is not saved
> -Ignoring or isolated tests is not supported
> -No unit tests for the ptest framework exist
> It'd be great to have a ptest tool that addresses this limitations.
