jay vyas commented on BIGTOP-1195:
----------------------------------
Ah yes gradle is the future of bigtop: but Most vendors don't come with gradle
installed, this allows any hadoop vendor to run bigtop tests directly out of
the box...
Forcing gradle as a requirement to this wrapper might defeat the purpose. I
would rather see wrapper stay in bash until gradle is a requirement for smokes,
at which point, the code in the script could change -- from mvn calls to gradle
calls .
> Higher level interface to smokes.

> Running all the smokes with mvn verify is painful:
> 1) Diving into the XML files when stuff breaks
> 2) Remembering to use TRACE level logging
> 3) Leaving out export PIG_HOME , etc... leads to smokes failing late in the
> test run.
> 4) Hopefully we can specify more env variables to control size of smokes in
> the future. That will make a script for running the whole thing even more
> useful.
> 5) when hacking the groovy scripts:: To Compile or not to compile? Always
> forget to specify.
> A simple bash script could serve as a better tutorial/solution/template for
> users that want to run smokes. I'm attaching a very raw patch that we can
> rewrite in python and flesh out some more to do better error reporting, more
> verification, etc.
