Ravi Kishore Valeti commented on PHOENIX-2154:
----------------------------------------------
While writing test cases, I realized that "-direct" switch cannot not be
deterministically tested. Reason being, we submit the job & come out and test
does not know how much time to wait before asserting on cases.
I would like to add a new switch "-runbg" that applies on top of "-direct"
switch to run either in background when applied (job.submit) or in-line
(job.waitForCompletion) otherwise. With this, we can deterministically write a
test for "-direct" switch.

> Failure of one mapper should not affect other mappers in MR index build

> Once a mapper in the MR index job succeeds, it should not need to be re-done
> in the event of the failure of one of the other mappers. The initial
> population of an index is based on a snapshot in time, so new rows getting
> *after* the index build has started and/or failed do not impact it.
> Also, there's a 1:1 correspondence between index rows and table rows, so
> there's really no need to dedup. However, the index rows will have a
> different row key than the data table, so I'm not sure how the HFiles are
> split. Will they potentially overlap and is this an issue?
