Jonathan Hsieh commented on HBASE-4821:
---------------------------------------
TestLoadAndVerify is a Bigtop test currently, but others that might fit into
Roman's category #2 include any of the HBase MR tests or tool-sy tests like
TestImportTsv, TestImportExport, (possibly the thrift/rest/avro servers) and
some of the other long running external-api only tests like TestAcidGuarantee.
Also another purpose of the shim layer is to provide an abstraction layer so
the same code is used against a minicluster when run in a HBase context or
against a real cluster in the Bigtop context. It would a thinner interface
than Mini*Cluster that does not expose internals. I haven't thought this out
completely yet but it could potentially be useful for dealing Hadoop1 vs
Hadoop2 issues as well.

> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Reporter: Mikhail Bautin
> Assignee: Mikhail Bautin
> Priority: Critical
>
> 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.
