Frank Scholten commented on MAHOUT-1345:
----------------------------------------

Thanks for the clarification, Dawid!

You mean like the example in 
https://github.com/carrotsearch/randomizedtesting/blob/master/examples/maven/src/main/java/com/carrotsearch/examples/randomizedrunner/Test010Lingering.java?

I am not familiar with the CVB0 code but to me it seems the test fails because 
the CachingCVB0mapper starts a few threads via TopicModel and/or ModelTrainer 
which are not cleaned up properly. Correct?

I added an ThreadLeakLingering annotation on TestCVBModelTrainer and now my 
build fails on 
org.apache.mahout.math.hadoop.stochasticsvd.LocalSSVDPCASparseTest. I'll take a 
look at that one.

How do you determine a good value for the linger property?

> When enabling randomised testing for all modules I found a few tests became 
> unstable or even fail deterministically due to lingering threads. The 
> attached patch:
> * defines the randomised testing dependency in our parent pom
> * re-uses said dependencies in all depending modules (makes upgrading easier 
> as the version number needs to be changed in just one place)
> * adds several code changes that fixed the failures due to lingering threads 
> for me on my machine. I'd greatly appreciate input a) from those who wrote 
> the respective code and b) others who ran the tests with these changes to 
> make sure there are no other tests that suffer from the same issues. 
> Warning: I touched quite a few bits and pieces I'm not intimately familiar 
> with over the last few weeks  (whenever I had a few spare minutes) - second 
> pair of eyes needed.
