Steve Loughran updated HADOOP-13716:
------------------------------------
    Attachment: HADOOP-13716-002.patch

HADOOP-13716 patch 002; tunes the Eventually class; adds more tests. Migrate 
ITestS3AFailureHandling to the class, cutting its predecessor in S3ATestUtil. 
Use it in AbstractContractRootDirectoryTest to verify the API is workable in 
real test code

All java 8 code is in the TestEventually test suite; not in the applied uses

> Add an Eventually class to for tests to await eventual completion of lambda 
> expressions/test clauses

> To make our tests robust against timing problems and eventual consistent 
> stores, we need to do more spin & wait for state.
> We have some code in {{GenericTestUtils.waitFor}} to await a condition being 
> met, but the predicate it calls doesn't throw exceptions, there's no way for 
> a probe to throw an exception, and all you get is the eventual "timed out" 
> message. 
> We can do better, and in closure-ready languages (scala & scalatest, groovy 
> and some slider code) we've examples to follow. Some of that work has been 
> reimplemented slightly in {{S3ATestUtils.eventually}}
> I propose adding a class in the test tree, {{Eventually}} to be a 
> successor/replacement for these.
> # has an eventually/waitfor operation taking a predicate that throws an 
> exception
> # has an "evaluate" exception which tries to evaluate an answer until the 
> operation stops raising an exception. (again, from scalatest)
> # plugin backoff strategies (from Scalatest; lets you do exponential as well 
> as linear)
> # option of adding a special handler to generate the failure exception (e.g. 
> run more detailed diagnostics for the exception text, etc).
> # be Java 8 lambda expression friendly
> # be testable and tested itself.
