Andrew Purtell commented on HBASE-7781: --------------------------------------- bq. I suggest renaming the title. Good idea, how about "Update security unit tests to use a KDC if available". > Update security unit tests to run with a MiniKDC > ------------------------------------------------ > > Key: HBASE-7781 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-7781 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Test > Components: security, test > Reporter: Gary Helmling > Assignee: ramkrishna.s.vasudevan > Priority: Blocker > Fix For: 0.98.0 > > > We currently have large holes in the test coverage of HBase with security > enabled. Two recent examples of bugs which really should have been caught > with testing are HBASE-7771 and HBASE-7772. The long standing problem with > testing with security enabled has been the requirement for supporting > kerberos infrastructure. > We need to close this gap and provide some automated testing with security > enabled, if necessary standing up and provisioning a temporary KDC as an > option for running integration tests, see HADOOP-8078 and HADOOP-9004 where a > similar approach was taken. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1.4#6159)
