Gregory Chanan commented on SOLR-5865:
--------------------------------------

Thanks for taking a look, Mark.

I get that having all the tests upload the files is burdensome.  I figured 
because this is just one test (and probably the only one outside of the test 
hierarchy, by design) that was preferable to maintaining a list in multiple 
places (the set of files for the hierarchy tests and this one).  I like your 
solution of separating out the solrcloud configs best, though.  I'll take a 
look at how feasible that is.

> Today, the SolrCloud tests are based on the LuceneTestCase class hierarchy, 
> which has a couple of issues around support for downstream projects:
> - It's difficult to test SolrCloud support in a downstream project that may 
> have its own test framework.  For example, some projects have support for 
> different storage backends (e.g. Solr/ElasticSearch/HBase) and want tests 
> against each of the different backends.  This is difficult to do cleanly, 
> because the Solr tests require derivation from LuceneTestCase, while the 
> other don't
> - The LuceneTestCase class hierarchy is really designed for internal solr 
> tests (e.g. it randomizes a lot of parameters to get test coverage, but a 
> downstream project probably doesn't care about that).  It's also quite 
> complicated and dense, much more so than a downstream project would want.
> Given these reasons, it would be nice to provide a simple 
> "MiniSolrCloudCluster", similar to how HDFS provides a MiniHdfsCluster or 
> HBase provides a MiniHBaseCluster.
