Konstantin Boudnik commented on MAPREDUCE-1758:
-----------------------------------------------

Jeff, this is the system test framework tracked by HADOOP-6332. This is a 
proposed name after [James Herriot | 
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/James_Herriot] aka Alf Wight, who was a famous 
veterinarian and writer (thanks Arun Murphy for digging up this name). We 
though it'd be cool to use this name for the framework because it designated to 
'cure' our little elephant :)

All Herriot code is available in a form of Y20 patches at the above JIRA. I 
have started working on forward port last night and now patches for all 
components of Hadoop's trunk are available but aren't finished yet: there some 
known issues and gaps. I hope to finish the work in a next few days. Any 
reviews and comments will be very helpful.

> There is so much commonality in the test cases that we are writing, so it is 
> pertinent to create reusable code. The common methods will be added to 
> herriot framework.
