"Some of the hard part was that some of the test classes are in the wrong module that references classes in a later module."
I think the modules will have to be able to reference each other in many cases. Serde and QL are tightly coupled. QL is really too large and we should find a way to cut that up. Part of this problem is the q.tests I think one way to handle this is to only allow unit tests inside the module. I imagine running all the q tests would be done in a final module hive-qtest. Or possibly two final modules hive-qtest hive-qtest-extra (tangential things like UDFS and input formats not core to hive) On Wed, Aug 7, 2013 at 4:49 PM, Owen O'Malley <omal...@apache.org> wrote: > On Wed, Aug 7, 2013 at 12:55 PM, kulkarni.swar...@gmail.com < > kulkarni.swar...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > > I'd like to propose we move towards Maven. > > > > Big +1 on this.
