Is there an hudson that build hbase?
Hudson should run the integration test suite with mini cluster and dfs where ant test for the user should only run local fs and local map reduce jobrunner.

I also vote for the local file system. However, I understand that there are some issues with local filesystem implementation on Windows, and there are some bugs that will only manifest when run on hdfs, mini or otherwise.

I think the best middle ground is expecting an externally configured dfs, local or otherwise, rather than spinning one up for every test. This would require an extra step on the part of developers running the test suite. Do you think that would make it notably more difficult for new developers to get the test suite going?

Whatever we end up doing regarding filesystem spin up, my testing shows that save us maybe a minute over the entire suite. It's certainly still a worthwhile task to pursue, but won't be a magic bullet.

jmock2 is pretty useful, I agree.
Also we in pig I submitted a patch that uses the hadoop localjobrunner (jobtracker=local) - significant faster than the minicluster. Also in case hbase uses hadoop configuration why not just using the local file system?

I would add that we have an issue open for speeding up the test suite, HBASE-410. Probably the most promising idea for speeding up the test suite is converting some of the tests that don't need to be integration tests into something more like true unit tests, or specs for that matter. Mock objects used to test hyper-focused bits of the system would be absolutely ideal, and has the advantage of being quite fast.

If you wanted to make some early contributions, anything in this area would be a FANTASTIC place to put them.

Hi there,
I checked out latest svn and did run the test.

The test suite failed at TestTable, are there known problems today?

Supposed to work. Usually does. New hadoop was checked in last night. That might have been responsible. Breaks everytime? If so, open JIRA.

Also the test suite took 24 min to run on my little poor box - is there any way to speed this up?

Yeah. Its a real prob. Test suite starts up little mini dfs's and mini hbase clusters and sometimes mini mr clusters. I've spent time on figuring how to do weird things like start the dfs cluster inside of an ant task but ran into classloading issues (joy). Needs to be fixed.

(Our 'unit tests' are more like 'integration tests' -- one approache would be to call them so and move them out of the unit test suite).

Thanks.
