Hi all; I created two jiras: 1) HBASE-4712 is for documenting the standard way for writing tests. Not rocket science, but it will help to keep a certain level of quality. Please have a look at it & feel free to comment.
2) HBASE-4737 is for the split; as discussed two weeks ago. There is a split proposal. I will apply this split this week-end or monday, don't hesitate to provide a feedback before (or after if necessary :-). I tested the parallelization within surefire for the small tests, it seems to work quite well. Don't forget that the idea is to run only small & medium on the developer machine by default. This will make the sub-tests-suite runs under 30 minutes, but the selection is important if we don't want to kill the pre-patch machine with defects that could have been detected before. I will provide a script to test this before the 'hard' surefire push. This script also allow to launch two maven instances in parallel. Still beta, but can be useful. I will attach it to HBASE-4737 when the pre patch machine validates my patch on pom.xml :-) Cheers, Nicolas
