Keith Turner commented on ACCUMULO-1797:
----------------------------------------
bq. Perhaps making a more discrete testing plan for committers to follow on
their "flavors of choice" (OS and Java, Hadoop, Zookeeper versions) would get
committers more involved?
Are you looking for something more than the testion section on the [relase
page|http://accumulo.apache.org/governance/releasing.html]? If so I would be
happy to provide more detail.
bq. First off, I think that we should be testing Accumulo against each "stable"
version of Hadoop at the time of that release – so, for 1.6.0, this equates to
1.2.1 and 2.2.0.
I would love for release testing against 1.2.1 and 2.2.0 to be done, I am not
against testing on multiple versions. Below are my thoughts :
* Doing release testing takes a lot of time, If only one person decides to do
this I don't its fair for the community to require anything of them. The
community should be thankful for their contribution. I hope more people do
release testing and I will be happy to help anyone who wants to tackle it. I
suppose another way of looking at it, is that if we do require it then it may
force someone to take it on inorder to get a release out? In the case that no
one does this, then what do we do?
* Whatever release testing we do should be documented. We have not really
done this in the past. I think this information would be very useful.
There was earlier discussion we were having where we trying to decide if it was
ok to support one commercial flavor of Hadoop and not another. In this thread
[~benson_basis] advised that we have the option to take whatever is
contributed. If code, documentation, etc are contributed to support X and Y,
but not Z then thats what we have. There is no need to wait for someone to
contribute code and documentation for Z. Also we do not need to drop support
for X and Y because no one contributed anything for Z.
