If e2e testing locally is super easy we could do that (along with unit tests)
before every commit. For the complex stuff, if anyone has concerns about a
patch, just ask for the chance to test too.

Correct me if I'm wrong but it sounds like you're main reason for not running
e2e tests on a fully-dist cluster is because it's difficult to do. If we make
it super easy would you be ok with it then?

> Project: HCatalog
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Travis Crawford
> Assignee: Travis Crawford

> Setting up the environment to run e2e tests is documented here:
> https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/HCATALOG/How+To+Test
> Its extremely time consuming to setup because there are so many moving parts.
> Some are very machine-specific, like configuring SSH and installing MySQL for
> your platform. However, some stuff we can automate for the developer, like
> downloading, installing & configuring all the Java stuff. We should do that
> to simplify.
> Also, tests do not run from a git repo because of the svn external. This
> would be very helpful to fix. Developing with Git is WAAAAAY nicer because
> branching is so easy.
