stack commented on HBASE-498:
-----------------------------
I like the idea of using the configured filesystem and defaulting local
filesystem (if tests on windows pass on local filesystem).
Jim, did you ever get chance at figuring why recursive delete is not working
when on local filesystem on windows though seems to work when you do
./bin/hadoop -rmr /SOME_DIR_WITH_SUBDIRS on your windows machine?
> Use an external DFS instead of spinning up a MiniDFS for every test

> Project: Hadoop HBase
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: test

> 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?
