----------------------------------
Summary: JDBC tests silently ignore failure to set up test storage
plugin
Key: DRILL-5090
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-5090
Project: Apache Drill
Issue Type: Bug
Affects Versions: 1.8.0
Reporter: Paul Rogers
Run the {{TestJDBCQuery}} test cases using Java 8. The tests will fail with
error such as:
{code}
VALIDATION ERROR ...
Current default schema: No default schema selected
{code}
The problem is that the tests try to set up a test schema, but fail. The code
that does this setup just silently ignores the error:
{code}
try {
TestUtilities.updateDfsTestTmpSchemaLocation(pluginRegistry,
tmpDirPath);
TestUtilities.makeDfsTmpSchemaImmutable(pluginRegistry);
}
} catch(Throwable e) {
// ... This is unlikely to
// happen, but just a safeguard to avoid failing user applications.
logger.warn("Failed to update tmp schema locations. This step is purely
for testing purpose. " +
"Shouldn't be seen in production code.");
// Ignore the error and go with defaults
}
{code}
The reason that the error is ignored is that the JDBC driver _itself_ contains
test code in the form of the following check:
{code}
if (props != null &&
"true".equalsIgnoreCase(props.getProperty("drillJDBCUnitTests"))) {
{code}
That is, the JDBC driver itself contains the code needed to set up the test
schemas. This means that test code is shipped in production. And, we must
handle the failure gracefully in case the user set the property in production.
Requested changes:
* Find a way to do test setup without including test code in JDBC.
* If test setup fails, issue a fatal error to direct the developer to the
actual problem.
And, of course, fix the Java 8 error so that the tests pass. Fixing that error
is a separate issue. If things were to fail again, we need the above fixes to
avoid wasting developer's time finding the problem.
