Konstantin Boudnik commented on BIGTOP-1113:
--------------------------------------------

Arguably, if the tests are ran with TRACE level of logging you'll see everything, including the process outputs.

> It is a useful feature that bigtop test framework ITest already captures std out / std err rather than streaming it to screen......... but if the direct std output/error from the client invoking a job was printed to the test outputs in failsafe.  
> In general these outputs arent necessary and clutter test reports , but in cases of low level or system failures, the specific assertion failures arent particularly helpful.
> Before adding a patch, i wonder : another option Could we add a top level maven parameter to tell iTest to redirect std err /std out?
