Misty Stanley-Jones commented on HBASE-7211: -------------------------------------------- OK, 4995 is closed so I will close this JIRA too. > Improve hbase ref guide for the testing part. > --------------------------------------------- > > Key: HBASE-7211 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-7211 > Project: HBase > Issue Type: Bug > Components: documentation > Affects Versions: 0.95.2 > Reporter: Nicolas Liochon > Assignee: Nicolas Liochon > Priority: Minor > Fix For: 2.0.0, 0.99.2 > > Attachments: hbase-7211-partial.patch > > > Here is some stuff I saw. I will propose a fix in a week or so, please add > the comment or issues you have in mind. > ??15.6.1. Apache HBase Modules?? > => We should be able to use categories in all modules. The default should be > small; but any test manipulating the time needs to be in a specific jvm > (hence medium), so it's not always related to minicluster. > ??15.6.3.6. hbasetests.sh?? > => We can remove this chapter, and the script > The script is not totally useless, but I think nobody actually uses it. > => Add a chapter on flakiness. > Some tests are, unfortunately, flaky. While there number decreases, we still > have some. Rules are: > - don't write flaky tests! :-) > - small tests cannot be flaky, as it blocks other test execution. Corollary: > if you have an issue with a small test, it's either your environment either a > severe issue. > - rerun the test a few time to validate, check the ports and file descriptors > used. > ??mvn test -P localTests -Dtest=MyTest?? > => We could actually activate the localTests profile whenever -Dtest is used. > If we do that, we can remove the reference from localTests in the doc. > ??mvn test -P runSmallTests?? ??mvn test -P runMediumTests?? > => I'm not sure it's actually used. We could remove them from the pom.xml > (and the doc). > ??The HBase build uses a patched version of the maven surefire plugin?? > => Hopefully, we will be able to remove this soon :-) > ??Integration tests are described TODO: POINTER_TO_INTEGRATION_TEST_SECTION?? > => Should be documented -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
