Steve Loughran created HADOOP-9330:
--------------------------------------
Summary: Add custom JUnit4 test runner with configurable timeout
Key: HADOOP-9330
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-9330
Project: Hadoop Common
Issue Type: Test
Components: test
Reporter: Steve Loughran
HADOOP-9112 has added a requirement for all new test methods to declare a
timeout, so that jenkins/maven builds will have better information on a timeout.
Hard coding timeouts into tests is dangerous as it will generate spurious
failures on slower machines/networks and when debugging a test.
I propose providing a custom JUnit4 test runner that test cases can declare as
their test runner; this can provide timeouts specified at run-time, rather than
in-source.
