Brock Noland commented on HIVE-5423: ------------------------------------ I am very much in favor of using unit tests over qfile tests as I think it's much easier to target a specific piece of code, faster, and it's easier to identify the issue at hand. It looks like we'd be able to test multiple rows which is an important requirement. The only issue I can see is it's fair amount of work. I'd love to help but I've got the maven and website projects on my plate present so I am not sure I will able to until those projects are nearing completion. Another, minor consideration is that if we were able to do this on a mass scale we'd either want to implement HIVE-4907 or be on maven so that we can run multiple JUnit tests in a single call to ant test otherwise HiveQA would slow down considerably since it can only run a single unit test per call to ant test. If we had 50-100 more unit tests before we mavenized I think we'd want to implement HIVE-4907. > Speed up testing of scalar UDFS > ------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-5423 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-5423 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Edward Capriolo > Assignee: Edward Capriolo > -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.1#6144)
