-------------------------------------
{quote}
rather then having "@Weekly" or "@Slow" (or even "@Nightly") annotations, we
should just use an "@Weight(Integer)" annotation indicating how "heavy" a test
is
{quote}
But I'm not sure I agree with this. Most tests have completely different
runtime based on what configurations they get. Sometimes, rarely, we apply
totally crazy parameters that make them go "nuts". Because of this we amortize
the cost of checking expensive corner cases (like termIndexInterval=1, horrible
params that cause a lot of merging, etc) across the different tests. I think
this is good, it really finds corner case bugs. So if we had this weight
annotation, i have no clue what we would assign it to anything.
Because you take a test that does a lot of skipping/conjunctions, and if it
gets memorycodec it might be take a terribly long time (since memorycodec
doesn't support skipping), but otherwise it doesnt really care about
termsindexinterval. On the other hand you take a test that is torturing the
terms dictionary, and it doesnt care if you give it memorycodec or a shitty
skipinterval, but you give it a crazy termsindexinterval and it spends a lot of
time next'ing thru terms, etc.
Because of this, all of the tests behave in totally different ways that you
cant really assign a weight to, e.g. take a look at the history of test times
for this test:

> Project: Lucene - Java

>
> Currently, Test2BTerms has an @Ignore annotation which means that the only
> way to run it as a test is to edit the file.
> There are a couple of options to fix this:
> # Add a main() so it can be invoked via the command line outside of the test
> framework
> # Add some new annotations that mark it as slow or weekly or something like
> that and have the test target ignore @slow (or whatever) by default, but can
> also turn it on.
