Thejas M Nair updated PIG-1391: ------------------------------- Attachment: minicluster.patch This is a path for review before I go ahead and change around 70+ test files. It adds a shutdown() function in MiniCluster, which can be called from test cases to free the resources and delete the temp files. In the patch, I have also made corresponding changes in one of the tests - TestPigContext to demonstrate the kind of changes that will be needed in other tests that use MiniCluster . The required changes are - 1. Add function annotated by @AfterClass which will call Minicluster.shutdown(). This will be called after all the unit test cases in the class have been run. 2. Annotate the class with @RunWith(JUnit4.class) so that junit4 is used . Without that it will run in junit3.x mode, which ignores @AfterClass annotation. > pig unit tests leave behind files in temp directory because MiniCluster files > don't get deleted > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: PIG-1391 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/PIG-1391 > Project: Pig > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 0.7.0 > Reporter: Thejas M Nair > Assignee: Thejas M Nair > Fix For: 0.7.0 > > Attachments: minicluster.patch > > > Pig unit test runs leave behind files in temp dir (/tmp) and there are too > many files in the directory over time. > Most of the files are left behind by MiniCluster .
