Dima Spivak commented on HBASE-16536: ------------------------------------- Any specific reason to change the name from {{FilterTestingCluster}} to {{HBaseTestingClusterAutostarter}}? I just wonder if that name is going to confuse new developers. > Make the HBase minicluster easy to use for testing downstream applications. > --------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-16536 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-16536 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Niels Basjes > Assignee: Niels Basjes > Attachments: HBASE-16536-01.patch, HBASE-16536-02.patch > > > In many applications I write I use HBase to store information. > A big problem is testing these applications. > I have seen several situations where people have written tests that create > tables in the development cluster and due to firewalls and such couldn't run > those tests from Jenkins. > A while ago I wrote the FilterTestingCluster class that makes unit testing > the client side filters a lot easier. With this ticket I propose to make this > more generic and make it so that user applications can easily incorporate it > into their own unit tests without any major modifications to their > application. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
