> Pig currently uses junit for all testing. junit is good for unit tests, but
> limited for end to end and integration testing.
> Building an end to end test in junit is cumbersome (a lot of setup and such
> to do using MiniCluster). Given that expected results must be known
> beforehand and hand crafted they must be kept very small, usually ten or less
> rows. This does not lead to realistic testing scenarios.
> A test tool is needed that allows the test developer to write a Pig Latin
> script and specify a source of truth against which to test the results of
> running this Pig Latin script. A database or a previous version of Pig can
> then be used as that source of truth. This will allow developers to quickly
> add new tests that return more than trivial results.
