-------------------------------------
Summary: Update system tests to allow running tests in parallel
Key: KAFKA-4140
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-4140
Project: Kafka
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Geoff Anderson
Assignee: Geoff Anderson
The framework used to run system tests will soon have the capability to run
tests in parallel. In our validations, we've found significant speedup with
modest increase in the size of the worker cluster, as well as much better usage
of the cluster resources.
A few updates to the kafka system test services and tests are needed to take
full advantage of this:
1) cluster usage annotation - this provides a hint to the framework about what
cluster resources to set aside for a given test, and lets the driver
efficiently use the worker cluster.
2) eliminate a few canonical paths on the test driver. This is fine when tests
are run serially, but in parallel, different tests end up colliding on these
paths. The primary culprits here are security_config.py, and minikdc.py
