A fully automated comprehensive distributed integration test for HBase
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HBASE-4821
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-4821
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Improvement
Reporter: Mikhail Bautin
Assignee: Mikhail Bautin
To properly verify that a particular version of HBase is good for production
deployment we need a better way to do real cluster testing after incremental
changes. Running unit tests is good, but we also need to deploy HBase to a
cluster, run integration tests, load tests, Thrift server tests, kill some
region servers, kill the master, and produce a report. All of this needs to
happen in 20-30 minutes with minimal manual intervention. I think this way we
can combine agile development with high stability of the codebase. I am
envisioning a high-level framework written in a scripting language (e.g.
Python) that would abstract external operations such as "deploy to test
cluster", "kill a particular server", "run load test A", "run load test B" (we
already have a few kinds of load tests implemented in Java, and we could write
a Thrift load test in Python). This tool should also produce intermediate
output, allowing to catch problems early and restart the test.
No implementation has yet been done. Any ideas or suggestions are welcome.
