Hi Cong Luo
Yes, this is the same project as DRILL-8120. Anton Gozhiy is actively
working on the test framework, I'm not sure if there are others too. I
agree that an introduction would be helpful. Maybe in the next
community meetup someone who is familiar with the test framework, like
Anton or Abhishek, can introduce the rest of us in the Drill dev
community to it, so that we can all start adding and maintaining tests,
and benefiting from it.
A related point is that I went and looked at the specs of the VMs that
the ASF allocates to projects and we'd need a special motivation to get
more than one VM with 1GiB of RAM. Meanwhile I think that the full test
framework would like to run with resources than that, and probably
against a cluster. So I suspect that we can find some other use for the
small VM from the ASF, and one or more of our corporate sponsors can run
the test framework in an elastic way in one of the clouds (create a
cluster, then destroy all allocated instances once the tests have run).

Hi all,
If the new repository is created, I hope this is the new progress with DRILL-8120
<https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-8120>.
Then, can test framework contributors answer the following questions?
1. Who are the active contributors to this test framework?
2. Are we planning to add more contributors (and how do we implement it)?
3. Can the contributors outline the design idea and function set of the test
framework here?
Again, thanks to Charles's company and HPE team for supporting Apache Drill.
Thanks.

Abhishek used to have that thing running like a charm. Great to see it
getting attention again.

Hi dev community!
Many of you need no introduction to the test framework developed by MapR
https://github.com/mapr/drill-test-framework
. For those who don't know, the test framework contains around 10k tests
often exercising scenarios not covered by Drill's unit tests. Just weeks
ago it revealed a regression in a Drill 1.20 RC and saved us from
shipping with that bug. The linked repository has been dormant for going
on two years but I am aware of bits of work that have been done on the
test framework since, and today Anton is actively dusting off and
updating it. Since the codebase is under the Apache 2.0 license, we are
free to bring a copy into the Drill project. I've created a new
(currently empty) possible home for the test framework at
https://github.com/apache/drill-test-framework
Before I proceed to push a clone there, please vote if you support or
oppose our adoption of the test framework.
P.S. I have also sent a message to a contact at HPE just in case they
might be aware of some concern applicable to our copying this repo but,
given the license applied, I cannot see that there will be be one.
Should anything get raised (and we'd decided to proceed) I would, of
course, pause so that we can discuss.
Regards
James
