With the exception of occasional timeout issues all the unit tests should pass. We (Yahoo dev team) run them all every night.

As a follow-up: I've been running the "ant test" suite since noon, trying ot
validate PIG-1870.
It's now 10 pm and I'm up to TestSkewedJoin. A few tests have failed, even
though my patch didn't touch any of the related code (TestPigContext,
TestGrunt, TestJobSubmission, TestSecondarySort, TestEvalPipeline2) -- I wonder if these pass normally, or if they are just ignored by virtue of not
being in test-commit and taking far too long....

There are quite a few tests in the suite that use ExecType.MAPREDUCE. It seems to me that we can now get away with ExecType.LOCAL for many of these, since local is now using Hadoop. The difference in test speed is fairly dramatic -- when I switched HBaseStorage tests, they went from roughly 50 seconds each to roughly 12 seconds each. The only tests for which (I think) we need the full MAPREDUCE exec mode is when we are messing with classpaths,
need to ensure new jvms pick up the right classes, etc. Objections to
switching these tests over? Suggestions on what to watch out for?
