We finally deciphered the reason for the Jenkins test failures, and they were not related to the Sentry codebase. For some unknown reason, the /tmp directory was cleaned up at some point causing the Sentry hive tests to fail on MR jobs because files on the /tmp weren't found.
The fixes were done through these jiras and now tests are green: SENTRY-2054 Unit tests must create temporary files under the Maven target directory SENTRY-2057: Set hadoop.tmp.dir to the maven build directory configured on java.io.tmpdir Kalyan, you're free to close the SENTRY-2050. - Sergio On Thu, Nov 16, 2017 at 1:57 PM, Kalyan Kumar Kalvagadda < kkal...@cloudera.com> wrote: > I have created SENTRY-2050 to investigate the situation.
