             Summary: Higher level interface to smokes.
                 Key: BIGTOP-1195
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BIGTOP-1195
             Project: Bigtop
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: jay vyas


Running all the smokes with mvn verify is painful:

1) Diving into the XML files when stuff breaks

2) Remembering to use TRACE level logging 

3) Leaving out export PIG_HOME , etc... leads to smokes failing late in the test run. 

4) Hopefully we can specify more env variables to control size of smokes in the future.  That will make a script for running the whole thing even more useful. 

5) when hacking the groovy scripts:: To Compile or not to compile?  Always forget to specify. 

A simple bash script could serve as a better tutorial/solution/template for users that want to run smokes.  I'm attaching a very raw patch that we can rewrite in python and flesh out some more to do better error reporting, more verification, etc.
