Jim Kellerman commented on HBASE-498:
-------------------------------------
FsShell has a special version of delete that works recursively.
FileSystem.delete is not recursive. It works on unix because you can remove a
directory if it is not empty. No so on Windows.
However, when we delete directories, we might want to use FileUtil.fullyDelete
instead of FileSystem.delete and that should solve the problem.
> Use an external DFS instead of spinning up a MiniDFS for every test

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-498
> Project: Hadoop HBase
> Issue Type: Sub-task
> Components: test
> Reporter: Bryan Duxbury
> Fix For: 0.2.0

>
> 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?
