Sean Busbey commented on ACCUMULO-1797:
---------------------------------------

bq. My only concern is the "The cluster may have any number of worker nodes; it 
can even be a single node in psuedo-distributed mode" addition. Like Keith 
already said, I'd also like to see a recommendation about running multiple 
tservers or separate VMs when only a single physical host is available when 
running CI/RW tests. Running tests on a single host is acceptable (and better 
than nothing), but even two tservers on a single box improves the quality of 
the testing.

I agree that this would be nice. I'd actually like to see a requirement that 
*someone* test on a cluster of size >= 5 worker nodes (see my previous comment 
above).

However, the current patch just makes explicit the current assumed requirements 
around testing; that is, there is no requirement on test cluster size. Running 
multiple tservers on a single host is non-trivial, because our default 
configuration files and shell scripts are not conducive to it.

How about I update that paragraph to say

bq. The following tests require a Hadoop cluster running a minimum of HDFS, 
MapReduce, and ZooKeeper. The cluster MAY have any number of worker nodes; it 
can even be a single node in psuedo-distributed mode. A cluster with multiple 
tablet servers SHOULD be used so that more of the code base will be exercised. 
For the purposes of release testing, you should note the number of nodes and 
versions used. See the Releasing section for more details.
