Johan Kindgren commented on LUCENE-1709: ---------------------------------------- I did a quick maven setup just to see the effects of running tests in parallel, and the result was a bit surprising. When running in parallel, it took about 30-40 seconds less (~7.40minutes) than running in sequence (~8.10minutes). Don't know if there would be a significant boost on a quad-core, my dual core had some idle time left when running with five threads. Is it worth the development time and the complexity increase of the build? > Parallelize Tests > ----------------- > > Key: LUCENE-1709 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/LUCENE-1709 > Project: Lucene - Java > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: Index > Affects Versions: 2.4.1 > Reporter: Jason Rutherglen > Fix For: 3.0 > > Original Estimate: 48h > Remaining Estimate: 48h > > The Lucene tests can be parallelized to make for a faster testing system. > This task from ANT can be used: > http://ant.apache.org/manual/CoreTasks/parallel.html > Previous discussion: > http://www.gossamer-threads.com/lists/lucene/java-dev/69669 > Notes from Mike M.: > {quote} > I'd love to see a clean solution here (the tests are embarrassingly > parallelizable, and we all have machines with good concurrency these > days)...
