Hi Jay, Sorry about the delayed response. We have historically just used smoke tests to determine if a given component is "working" on the cluster. As a matter of fact, many integration tests are the same tests provided by the component (especially case of pig and hive) just run on a fully distributed cluster.
It's not possible to test all features of say Hive on a fully distributed cluster but we do test a good subset of features end-to-end. Hope that answers your question.
