Todd Lipcon commented on HDFS-3530: ----------------------------------- I agree it's not a great _unit_ test case for the reason you mentioned, but deleting it without understanding why it fails sometimes doesn't seem right. It acts as a decent stress-test/functional test, and it's still worrisome that it fails. > TestFileAppend2.testComplexAppend occasionally fails > ---------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-3530 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-3530 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Bug > Components: test > Reporter: Eli Collins > Assignee: Tomohiko Kinebuchi > Attachments: HDFS-3530-for-debug.txt, HDFS-3530.txt, > PreCommit-HADOOP-Build #1116 test - testComplexAppend.html.gz > > > TestFileAppend2.testComplexAppend occasionally fails with the following: > junit.framework.AssertionFailedError: testComplexAppend Worker encountered > exceptions. > at junit.framework.Assert.fail(Assert.java:47) > at junit.framework.Assert.assertTrue(Assert.java:20) > at > org.apache.hadoop.hdfs.TestFileAppend2.testComplexAppend(TestFileAppend2.java:385) -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
