+1 Having a coherent approach for system level testing increases confidence in the various Hadoop releases and and will reduce the effort to take any (set of ) changes from development into production. The more automated and formalized system testing, the better!

Patrick Hunt has brought up this idea earlier today and I believe it has to be elaborated further. A number of testing projects both for Hadoop and Hadoop-related component were brought to life over last year or two. Among those are MRUnit, PigUnit, YCSB, Herriot, and perhaps a few more. They all focusing on more or less the same problem e.g. validation of Hadoop or on-top-of-Hadoop components, or application level testing for Hadoop. However, the fact that they all are spread across a wide variety of projects seems to confuse/mislead Hadoop users. How about incubating a bigger Hadoop (Pig, Oozie, HBase) testing project which will take care about development and support of common (where's possible) tools, frameworks and the like? Please feel free to share your thoughts :) -- Take care, Konstantin (Cos) Boudnik On Tue, Feb 15, 2011 at 10:44, Eric Sammer <esam...@cloudera.com> wrote: > I've started the wiki page proposal for Incubator for mrunit.
