Using Iterator-Test-Harness

Hi all,

I like the structure of Accumulo's iterator-test-harness
<https://github.com/apache/accumulo/tree/master/iterator-test-harness>
module and would like to use it in my own code.  I was wondering if there
is a better alternative than (1) copying the code, (2) modifying it to suit
my own needs, (3) pushing back improvements I make if any, by
re-implementing them in the Accumulo project and filing a JIRA.

Cheers, Dylan

Hey, Dylan,

I don't think there's a really good way to achieve this because
iterator-test-harness is not yet a released artifact. But if I were you
(and I weren't too worried about sharing the code with a large group) I
think I would build + publish the Accumulo 1.8 artifacts to a local MVN
repository ("mvn install" I think will do the trick?) and then you can just
reference them in your local build file, ie.

      <dependency>
        <groupId>org.apache.accumulo</groupId>
        <artifactId>accumulo-iterator-test-harness</artifactId>
        <version>1.8.0</version>
      </dependency>

Following up on this, the "local mvn install" strategy Russ suggested
works.  I even convinced Travis to do a local mvn install in its
"before_install" phase.

Sonatype has some nice resources which you could look into as a 
short-term too. You could change the GAV for the iterator-test-harness 
module and push it to Sonatype. Then, maven would be able to find it 
like normal via maven central.

A little bit more work though :)

Thanks Josh and Russ.  I like Russ's idea to do a mvn install on 1.8.0.
Then I can test using the harness as an external dependency.

Happy to receive improvements!

Feel free to ping me if you'd like some review on any changes. You're 
likely the one first using it other than me -- I would love to hear what 
works well and what doesn't. I likely have tunnel-vision because I wrote it.

I think my biggest concern is making sure we have a stable API for 
developers to integrate with the harness but still letting you have the 
ability to tweak it to your needs. This is a fine balance, but one that 
is definitely achievable.
