Joydeep Sen Sarma commented on HIVE-1464: ----------------------------------------- i think i found why it's happening. these lines in build-common.xml: <copy todir="${test.data.dir}"> <fileset dir="${test.src.data.dir}"> <exclude name="**/.svn"/> </fileset> </copy> are copying .gitignore to test/data/warehouse/src it remains there after this. the reason this is happening now is that 'cleanup()' happens via metadata commands - and there are no tables in metadata at the beginning of the test. so nothing gets deleted. then a whole bunch of 'load data' commands are executed - which also don't delete old stuff. after this - earlier each test would call cleanup() again - which would delete the entire directory. but now this is not done anymore. so the .gitignore stays there. lots of ways of fixing this - but this whole data/warehouse dir and then copying it recursively is totally unnecessary i think. i will file a separate jira. > improve test query performance > ------------------------------ > > Key: HIVE-1464 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-1464 > Project: Hadoop Hive > Issue Type: Test > Components: Testing Infrastructure > Reporter: Joydeep Sen Sarma > Assignee: Joydeep Sen Sarma > Fix For: 0.7.0 > > Attachments: 1464.1.patch > > > clientpositive/negative tests are extremely slow. > one major problem seems to be that all the test warehouse tables are deleted > and created/re-populated for each test. most of the times this is not > required and if we can fix this the tests will run much faster. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
