Hi Roman, Thanks for the explanation.
I ran "mvn test" against an existing Hadoop instance because I saw it in "Building and Testing" page. https://giraph.apache.org/build.html Now I understand it's non-orthodox. > Pure unit tests are definitely expected to pass. They do pass > on our Jenkins, That's exactly what I wanted to hear. So the problem should be in my environment. I'll investigate it a little more. > > On Mon, Jul 7, 2014 at 4:50 PM, Toshio ITO <toshio9....@toshiba.co.jp> wrote: > > Hi Roman, > > > > I previously reported some cases where Giraph unit tests failed. > > > > http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/giraph-user/201406.mbox/%3c87a990dkni.wl%25toshio9....@toshiba.co.jp%3E > > This thread talks about hadoop_0.20.203 profile.
