Travis Crawford commented on HCATALOG-535:
------------------------------------------
If anyone wants to follow along, I have a WIP branch that downloads, configures
& starts Hadoop/Hive/Pig/HBase all automatically. It still requires the perl
module be installed manually, setup MySQL and the user account / databases, and
SSH, but in general I think this is an approach worth exploring.
https://github.com/traviscrawford/hcatalog/compare/HCATALOG-535_simfy_e2e
I did something pretty janky by checking in the contents of
{{src/test/e2e/harness}}, which lets me run e2e tests from a git repo. I'd love
to fetch that stuff in a better way, if anyone knows of one. Currently I don't
know much about svn externals and have to learn where that stuff even comes
from.
> HCatalog e2e tests should run locally with minimal configuration

> Project: HCatalog
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Travis Crawford

> Setting up the environment to run e2e tests is documented here:
> https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/HCATALOG/How+To+Test
> Its extremely time consuming to setup because there are so many moving parts.
> Some are very machine-specific, like configuring SSH and installing MySQL for
> your platform. However, some stuff we can automate for the developer, like
> downloading, installing & configuring all the Java stuff. We should do that
> to simplify.
> Also, tests do not run from a git repo because of the svn external. This
> would be very helpful to fix. Developing with Git is WAAAAAY nicer because
> branching is so easy.
