Vadim Spector updated SENTRY-1377:
----------------------------------
Description:
1. TestHDFSIntegration.java should provide best-attempt cleanup in
cleanAfterTest() method. Currently, if any cleanup operation fails, the rest of
cleanup code is not executed. Cleanup logic would not normally fail if
corresponding test succeeds. But if some do not, short-circuiting some cleanup
logic tends to cascade secondary failures which complicate troubleshooting.
2. Test methods would short-circuit closing database Connection's and
Statement's if the test logic fails. Moreover, some test methods have multiple
initializations of Connection ans Statement, but only one stmt.close();
conn.close(); pair at the end. Correct pattern for each distinct
{Connection,Statement} pair would be:
conn = null;
stmt = null;
try {
..... test logic here, including conn and stmt initialization ...
} finally {
safeClose(conn, stmt);
}
where
private static safeClose(Connection conn, Statement stmt) {
if (stmt != null) try { stmt.close(); } catch (Exception ignore) {}
if (conn != null) try { conn.close(); } catch (Exception ignore) {}
}
Testing jdbc driver implementation is not in the scope of HDFS integration
tests, so ignoring Connection.close() and Statement.close() failures should not
be a concern for this test class.
3. Retry logic uses recursion in some places, as in startHiveServer2(),
verifyQuery(), verifyOnAllSubDirs. Better to implement it via straightforward
retry loop. Exception stack trace is more confusing than it needs to be in case
of recursive calls. Plus, with NUM_RETRIES == 10, at least theoretically, it
creates running out of stack as an unnecessary failure mechanism.
4. startHiveServer2() ignores hiveServer2.start() call failure, only logging
info message.
5. Starting hiveServer2 and Hive metastore in separate threads and then keeping
those threads alive seems unnecessary, since both servers' start() methods
create servers running on their own threads anyway. It effectively leads to
ignoring the start() method failure for both servers. Also, it leaves no
guarantee that hiveServer2 will be started after the Hive metastore - both
start from independent threads with no cross-thread coordination mechanism in
place.
