Dima Spivak commented on ACCUMULO-4423:
---------------------------------------
I would love to help out with this effort. I come from HBase land (please, no
pitchforks :-p), and we have a pretty straightforward way to run system tests
from the command line without getting tied into the build process of HBase
itself (in our case, we can do {{hbase org.apache.hadoop.hbase.test...}} and
it'll just work because tests use {{ToolRunner}} and can be run from their
{{main}} method). Extending this to Accumulo would be fun.

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-4423
> Project: Accumulo
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: build, test
> Reporter: Josh Elser
> Assignee: Josh Elser
> Fix For: 2.0.0

>
> Had a thought the other day when talking to some folks about testing.
> Our current integration tests can be broken down into two categories:
> * Encapsulated (MiniCluster only)
> * Capable of using a Standalone Accumulo instance (instead of a MiniCluster)
> with any ITs that don't have MiniClusters (if there are any), I am lumping
> them into the Encapsulated category.
> Now, if I have an environment set up which I can run these Standalone tests
> against, it would be nice to just be able to execute those tests. I could
> then run the unit tests, checkstyle, findbugs, and encapsulated integration
> tests out of band, not tied to the lifetime (and cost) of that environment
> for the Standalone tests.
> It would be nice if we can use something like JUnit categories to group these
> tests and then provide the "hooks" in the build to let users specify which
> categories are executed.
