Dawid Weiss commented on MAHOUT-1200: ------------------------------------- Another benefit is that if tests are run on a CI system such as jenkins, failed/ interrupted builds don't add up and pollute the /tmp space. This also has a drawback because another build wipes out any intermediate data but Jenkins (and other such systems) can be set up to archive selected artefacts on failed builds so I think this is minor). > Mahout tests depend on writing to /tmp/hadoop-$user > --------------------------------------------------- > > Key: MAHOUT-1200 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAHOUT-1200 > Project: Mahout > Issue Type: Bug > Components: build > Affects Versions: 0.7 > Reporter: Isabel Drost-Fromm > Attachments: MAHOUT-1200.patch > > > Running the Mahout test suite creates the temp directory /tmp/hadoop-$user > which is used by all Hadoop related tests that pull up a local cluster. The > directory is not removed after running the tests. In particular when running > multiple tests in parallel on the same machine as the same user this can lead > to problems. > To re-produce issue the following commands prior to running the full test > suite: > mkdir /tmp/hadoop-$USER > chmod 000 /tmp/hadoop-$USER > mvn test -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
