-----------------------------------
Hi [~alangates],
These are the main goals as you identified correctly:
- We would like to have an easy way to run HMS API tests against different
configurations.
- We would like to to split the tests cases to multiple smaller files instead
of a single huge one.
- We would like to run the same tests against a cluster which runs a different
version of HMS (for example to test backward compatibility) - this is
ClusterMetaStore. If you have a better name for it I would be happy to hear :)
This first patch only runs the tests against 2 configurations as a proof of
concept. Later we can use all 5 configurations which are used to run the tests
defined in {{TestHiveMetaStore}} - these could be different RemoteMetaStore
objects which are parametrized in the MetaStoreFactory.
Also there are currently other tests which are using the same pattern like
{{TestMarkPartition}} which can be migrated too if we decide to do so.
As for parallel I do not think there should be any problem to run the test
suites parallel:

As a prerequisite in JUnit tests, the JUnit runner should extend
org.junit.runners.ParentRunner
{quote}
And {{Parameterized}} extends {{Suite}} extends {{ParentRunner<Runner>}}
{quote}
Note: As designed by JUnit runners, the static methods annotated with e.g.
@Parameters, @BeforeClass and @AfterClass are called in parent thread.
{quote}
This sentence explicitly mentions {{@Parameters}}
- Do we plan to run the test methods parallel? For that we need to redesign how
we use the test databases.

> Since there will be multiple tests, it would be good to have a good

> This patch will also include the test cases for the Database related methods
