Andrew Purtell commented on HBASE-9980:
---------------------------------------
bq. Then make instances of those (which is the tricky part)
When executed as a Junit test, the test would assert if there isn't coverage in
the gold file and if something fails to operate correctly.
Would also have a Main for creating a new gold file. There would be generators
for the writable types, and the utility would abort and fail if there is no
generator coverage from something discovered from HBaseObjectWritable.

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-9980
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Bug
> Affects Versions: 0.94.13
> Reporter: Lars Hofhansl
> Assignee: Andrew Purtell

> See HBASE-9834.
> We should have a test that:
> # generates a file with all kinds of objects serialized into it. Save that
> file as part of the HBase tests
> # a test can then read the objects back from that file
> # a test can regenerate that file
> If both tests pass we can be reasonably sure that neither readFields nor
> write was changed in an incompatible way.
