The Hackathon is basically agenda-less, but I'd like to propose a general topic
of discussion we should cover while we are all in the room together:
- For HBASE-1964 (HBASE-2183, HBASE-2461, and related): injecting and/or
mocking exceptions thrown up from DFSClient. I think we want a toolkit for
that. Could be incorporated into the unit testing framework. Should be possible
to swap out a jar or something and make it active running on a real cluster
with real load. Should be possible to inject random exceptions with adjustable
probability. So what does HDFS have already? What do we need? If we're adding
something, does it make sense to put it into HBase or contribute to HDFS? I
think the latter.
Let's gather a list of other topics, if any, that hackathon participants want
to see covered so we can make sure it will happen.
