Sharad Agarwal commented on HADOOP-6332:
----------------------------------------
Skimmed the patch. Some minor comments:
- system-test.xml need not go in common. It is not used and required by common
code. We can split it into hdfs-system-test.xml and mapred-system-test.xml when
working for respective forward ports.
Also $(YINST_ROOT) must be removed.
- jar-test-system ant target is building jar with unit tests. This should have
only system tests. (Right now we don't have any system tests in common. So
perhaps we can drop this target for now.)

> Hadoop would benefit from having a large-scale, automated, test-framework.
> This jira is meant to be a master-jira to track relevant work.
> ----
> The proposal is a junit-based, large-scale test framework which would run
> against _real_ clusters.
> There are several pieces we need to achieve this goal:
> # A set of utilities we can use in junit-based tests to work with real,
> large-scale hadoop clusters. E.g. utilities to bring up to deploy, start &
> stop clusters, bring down tasktrackers, datanodes, entire racks of both etc.
> # Enhanced control-ability and inspect-ability of the various components in
> the system e.g. daemons such as namenode, jobtracker should expose their
> data-structures for query/manipulation etc. Tests would be much more relevant
> if we could for e.g. query for specific states of the jobtracker, scheduler
> etc. Clearly these apis should _not_ be part of the production clusters -
> hence the proposal is to use aspectj to weave these new apis to
> debug-deployments.
> ----
> Related note: we should break up our tests into at least 3 categories:
> # src/test/unit -> Real unit tests using mock objects (e.g. HDFS-669 &
> MAPREDUCE-1050).
> # src/test/integration -> Current junit tests with Mini* clusters etc.
> # src/test/system -> HADOOP-6332 and it's children
