Andrey Klochkov commented on HDFS-4491: --------------------------------------- Chris, as far as I can understand "trunk" doesn't support Windows currently. Many tests fail and it doesn't seem there's an easy way to overcome this. I noticed branch "branch-trunk-win" which seems to be dedicated to Windows support - is it correct? Unfortunately I couldn't proceed too far with a Windows VM and using this branch, as one of the requirements is MS Visual Studio which I don't have. Looking at the code in "trunk" I see that there are 14 tests using hardcoded paths of the form "/tmp/<class name>". I'n not completely clear about the reasons of this, can you please answer to clarify: 1. Why are these fixes applied to trunk while in general Windows support is kept in "branch-trunk-win"? 2. Why are just a few tests fixed? There are many others which use "test.build.data" 3. Is it a proper way to fix it? There are reasons of using "test.build.data" to place all test data under. E.g. this data can be placed on ramfs to speedup testing. > Parallel testing HDFS > --------------------- > > Key: HDFS-4491 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-4491 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Test > Components: test > Affects Versions: 3.0.0 > Reporter: Tsuyoshi OZAWA > Assignee: Andrey Klochkov > Attachments: HDFS-4491.patch > > > Parallel execution of HDFS tests in multiple forks.
