Francis Liu commented on HCATALOG-535:
--------------------------------------
Travis, the test runs ~2hours for us which includes test deployment. The
cluster it runs against uses mysql as the metastore db.
As for svn:external, it's just a pointer to another repo which also gets
checked out/updated/etc, in this case it's pulling the harness from the pig
repo. Pig and HCat share a core test harness.
> 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.
