Aron Hamvas commented on HIVE-22942:
------------------------------------
Good!
We have already been brainstorming about this a bit with [~b.maidics] and
[~zchovan], and I heard rumors that [~pvary] had ideas about this last year.
Might be good to involve those guys as they all seemed heavily interested.
The (informal) discussions were focused on two major topics:
1. Execution engine. E.g. moving to JUnit 5 is probably not a huge effort and
it supports parallel execution that could speed up execution.
2. Rewriting Ptest framework or replacing it with a more general purpose
alternative.

> I never opened a jira about this...but it might actually help collect ideas
> and actually start going somewhere sooner than later :D
> Right now we maintain the ptest2 project inside Hive to be able to run Hive
> tests in a distributed fashion...the backstab of this solution is that we are
> putting much effort into maintaining a distributed test execution framework...
> I think it would be better if we could find an off the shelf solution for the
> task and migrate to that instead of putting more efforts into the ptest
> framework
