Bryan Duxbury updated HBASE-498:
--------------------------------
Component/s: test
Fix Version/s: 0.2.0
Description:
My testing suggests that we could shave about a minute off the entire suite if
we only had to start up a single DFS instance instead of a new one for each
test. Stack has investigated using ant to perform this initialization task, but
come up empty handed.
I propose that we should expect the developer running the test suite to start a
DFS before running "ant test". We could provide a bin/hbase command that does
specifically that in order to make it easy. This would save not only the
initial start up time but all the startup time of all tests and test suite runs
you execute in a session of development and testing.
Do people think that an extra step to testing would be too hard for new (or
lazy existing) developers?
> Use an external DFS instead of spinning up a MiniDFS for every test
