Test results: http://lucene.zones.apache.org:8080/hudson/job/Hadoop-Patch/461/testReport/ Console output: http://lucene.zones.apache.org:8080/hudson/job/Hadoop-Patch/461/console > Tasks run by MiniMRCluster don't get sysprops from TestCases > ------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: HADOOP-1587 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-1587 > Project: Hadoop > Issue Type: Bug > Components: test > Environment: unix > Reporter: Alejandro Abdelnur > Assignee: Devaraj Das > Priority: Blocker > Attachments: 1587.patch > > > While it seems a general problem it is surfacing in streaming TestSymLink > testcase with patch for HADOOP-1558 > The contrib testcases use src/contrib/test/hadoop-site.xml. > The property 'mapred.system.dir' is this file is defined as with a variable > '${contrib.name}'. > The src/build/build-contrib.xml ant file sets the sysproperty 'contrib.name' > to the name of the contrib component for the JVM running the testcase. > The problem is that when a testcase uses MiniMRCluster the TaskRunner forks a > JVM for the task and in this JVM (which uses the above hadoop-site.xml) the > variable 'contrib.name' is undefined. > If I hardcode 'streaming' in the hadoop-site.xml for the TestSymLink the > testcase works fine. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
