Nick Dimiduk commented on HBASE-24510:
--------------------------------------
bq. IIRC the assumption is, the code under test directory are private by
default, unless we explicitly set to IA.Public, like HBTU.
I agree with you. The trouble is we haven't done a good job of making HBTU
independently consumable, without all the other stuff in {{src/test}}. It could
be these classes are no longer reachable from the APIs of HBTU (certainly
{{HBaseTestCase}} shouldn't be, i'm not as sure about {{GenericTestUtils}}.
My preference is that we reboot the testing support we provide to downstreamers
before we start deleting utility classes that have been around for years. We
would need a jar with classes in {{src/main}} that provide the functionality of
HTU and whatever other supporting functions are required. Those classes would
be {{IA.Public}} with clear compatibility contract. Once we have that,
everything else becomes deprecated, removed.
I don't know if we have a Jira for that specific effort. I've seen a number of
tickets like this one that are trying to chip away at the problem.
