Github user JoshRosen commented on a diff in the pull request: https://github.com/apache/spark/pull/6707#discussion_r52854163 --- Diff: streaming/src/test/scala/org/apache/spark/streaming/ReceivedBlockHandlerSuite.scala --- @@ -174,6 +176,130 @@ class ReceivedBlockHandlerSuite } } + test("Test Block - count messages") { --- End diff -- This is an example of a testing anti-pattern which I've seen a lot: this test is actually testing two completely independent cases, one with a BlockManager-based block handler and another with a WAL-based handler. As a result, this deserves to be _two_ `test` cases so that they can fail independently. As things stand now, a bug could introduce a change which causes only the BlockManager case to fail and that would cause the second test to be skipped rather than run. The fact that this test is four lines and half of the lines are comments explaining the two cases is another hint that this should be two separate tests, since then the name in `test()` could explain the cases.
