Junit tests that time out don't write any test progress related logs
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HADOOP-5001
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-5001
Project: Hadoop Core
Issue Type: Bug
Components: test
Reporter: Vinod K V
Assignee: Vinod K V
Some junit tests time out frequently possibly because of a bug. When such tests
time out, the log4j appender isn't writing anything to the log files. It seems
that all the log statements are buffered in the memory till test completion.
The logs get written to the log file only after the test goes to completion.
This is seriously limiting debugging in presence of a test time out. *If*
possible, we should try to flush logs regularly so that we can find out the
extent to which a test has progressed before timing out.
