> 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.
