Steve Loughran created HADOOP-9330: -------------------------------------- Summary: Add custom JUnit4 test runner with configurable timeout Key: HADOOP-9330 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-9330 Project: Hadoop Common Issue Type: Test Components: test Reporter: Steve Loughran
HADOOP-9112 has added a requirement for all new test methods to declare a timeout, so that jenkins/maven builds will have better information on a timeout. Hard coding timeouts into tests is dangerous as it will generate spurious failures on slower machines/networks and when debugging a test. I propose providing a custom JUnit4 test runner that test cases can declare as their test runner; this can provide timeouts specified at run-time, rather than in-source. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
