Hi Falcon dev As falcon has a bunch of handcrafted xmls ,this results in manual errors such as typos, giving bad arguments, xml errors etc while deploying a new job. For validating the xmls as well as checking the job is getting the correct set of configs, a mock run is needed in a full fledged setup of falcon/hadoop/oozie. This I feel is a overkill. I propose that we start work on falcon unit which will intialize falcon/hadoop/oozie in local mode and run the job locally to test the configs and also can be extended to validate input and output datesets. This will really help in easily onboarding to falcon jobs as in a matter of minutes u can test your process. Have created a task on jira: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FALCON-1133 Willing to take this up if the community thinks it will add value. Thoughts? Thanks Karan
