----------------------------------
Summary: Move winutils tests from bat to Java
Key: HADOOP-8972
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-8972
Project: Hadoop Common
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 1-win
Reporter: Ivan Mitic
Assignee: Ivan Mitic
This Jira tracks the work needed to move existing winutils tests from bat files
to Java. We decided to go with Java for the following reasons:
1. It showed to be quite hard to modify bat scripts and add new test cases
(people are generally not comfortable writing bat scripts)
2. Debugging a test case failure in bat script is not trivial
3. It turned that we are not running the test scripts frequently
Cons:
One now needs JDK and Hadoop jar to compile and run winutils tests. However, in
the context of Hadoop this is not an issue so we decided to go with something
we all feel more comfortable with.
