Jacek Lewandowski commented on CASSANDRA-16951:
-----------------------------------------------
I haven't seen the implementation yet. If we supported *only* class level
marks, it would sound more consistent to me. The whole class declare the
cluster that can be reused and we do not need to depend on certain tests
execution order. On the other hand, if we have say 1st test case annotated, 2nd
not, 3rd annotated, 4th not, etc. I would be confused which cluster is to be
reused if we run those cases in some random order.
What do you think [~bereng] about just declaring the class level cluster and
reuse it in all cases of the annotated class? In such case, the annotation
level would determine the reuse scope and the lifetime of such cluster.

> Dtests are very heavy but in some instances most of the time is spent
> restarting nodes in between test methods. Not all of them, but many seem
> could benefit form reusing a common cluster sparing the restarts. Obviously
> that is not the case for tests that manipulate the nodes itself during the
> test. The ones that follow a setup node/do test seem to benefit greatly in
> terms of time execution.
> Some classes run time can be cut form 10m to 1,5m. Others only from 30m to
> 25m. But taking a 5m shave and considering it will probably get ran *
> with/without vnodes * j8/j11/j8j11 * 4.0/trunk turns the 5m cut into a 60m
> cut. That should be a nice reduction in CI usage. Unfortunately run time will
> mostly remain the same until we have a majority of tests reusing nodes as the
> 'longest pole' will be the determining factor.
> How it works? It's an opt-in. Annotate the first test with
> {{@reuse_cluster(new_cluster=True)}} and the following ones with
> {{@reuse_cluster}}. Best effort to reuse the cluster will be made. Stop using
> the annotation at any test method and it will start a new one.
