Roman Shaposhnik updated BIGTOP-117:
------------------------------------
Fix Version/s: (was: 0.6.0)
> Document incompatible API changes between releases
> --------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: BIGTOP-117
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BIGTOP-117
> Project: Bigtop
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Tom White
>
> It would be good to run API compatibility tests to document the difference in
> user APIs between releases.
> SigTest (http://sigtest.java.net/) is a promising candidate, and is used by
> OpenJDK and NetBeans to check for incompatible changes. It is very
> comprehensive and can check binary and source compatibility.
> I've written some scripts that allow two Hadoop tarballs to be compared for
> incompatible API changes. The scripts are at
> https://github.com/tomwhite/hadoop-compatibility-tools. The scripts can be
> easily generalized to check different Bigtop projects.
