Summary: Sqoop2: Create derby integration upgrade tests
Key: SQOOP-1783
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/SQOOP-1783
Project: Sqoop
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 1.99.4
Reporter: Jarek Jarcec Cecho
Assignee: Jarek Jarcec Cecho
Fix For: 1.99.5
During my validation of 1.99.4 release, I've several times run upgrade scenario
when I took repository generated by previous release and let the new release
upgrade the structures. We've found several bugs during this manual exercise as
we did several changes and we don't have any test coverage in this area. Hence
for future releases I would like to introduce automatic upgrade tests that
would run as a part of our integration test suite.
I'm currently thinking of doing exactly what I've done in my manual exercise.
We can create example derby repository that is exercising various different
values for (all) previous releases and store that an archive with the code. The
integration tests will then untar the stored archive and simply run the upgrade
procedure This approach won't guarantee that we will catch all upgrade bugs,
but will provide reasonable confidence that we can release the new bits without
additional manual testing.
