Stamatis Zampetakis updated CALCITE-4344:
-----------------------------------------
Description:
The idea is to use Docker containers instead of embedded (fake) server in tests
to allow simulating better production (full featured) environments.
The [testcontainers|https://www.testcontainers.org/] project allows to handle
transparently the management of Docker containers so it can simplify a lot the
development of tests using Docker.
There are some disadvantages in using Docker:
* more resources;
* longer execution times;
* requires Docker installation
thus at the moment the embedded server will be retained for those who do not
want to use the containerized tests.
was:
I have started a discussion the dev mailing about using
[https://www.testcontainers.org/] to run "real product" instead of fake server
in tests.
It will take more resources and time, and the development and build environment
needs to have docker running; but I believe that the benefits of running a real
product overcome this.
