Has anyone tried running the system tests on a 0.20.20x release? Why don't we run these via Hudson?
After following the instructions on the wiki [1] and making a bunch of additional fixes (setting dfs.datanode.ipc.address in the config, using sbin instead of bin, copying libs into the FI build lib dir, etc) I was able to get the tests running however the tests seem to have bitrot. The reason I ask is that it looks like the src/test/system tests are only compiled or run via the test-system target and it doesn't look like Hudson or developers use that target, therefore we're not doing anything to prevent people from breaking the tests. I tried to run them to see if one of my changes would break them but I can't imagine most people will jump through all the above hoops. On a related note, is there any way to run these against an existing build/cluster? It looks like they require running on a build that's been fault injected (ie they use custom protocol classes that are not present in the normal tarball) which makes them much less useful.
