-------------------------------------
Summary: Test impala-shell distribution instead of special dev
environment version
Key: IMPALA-8515
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IMPALA-8515
Project: IMPALA
Issue Type: Sub-task
Components: Infrastructure
Reporter: Tim Armstrong
Assignee: Tim Armstrong
Impala shell tests use bin/impala-shell.sh, which uses impala-python and
various dev-environment specific infrastructure to run impala-shell. We also
build a shell tarball, which is meant to be a self-contained version of the
shell with all dependencies.
In principle it's better to test the build artifacts rather than the
development environment. Therefore for full builds, where we build the tarball,
we should test the contents of the tarball including the bundled libraries.
For remote cluster tests, we can continue to use the dev environment (since we
don't necessarily build the shell tarball there).
