Konstantin Boudnik commented on BIGTOP-1329:
--------------------------------------------

Good idea! My only concern is Vagrant, which is - to my limited understanding - doesn't work with any hypervisers but virtualbox, does it?

> YARN-1964 demonstrates that testing patches in hadoop is not just about unit testing anymore :   End to end testing is increasingly valuable.  
> Lets create a vagrant recipe in bigtop which
> 1) Pulls a jira patch down
> 2) Builds hadoop from scratch and 
> 3) Packages it in a local repo, in a VM.
> 4) Runs a smoke test on the patch.
> This essentially would validate that (1) bigtop hadoop packaging is up-to-date with the code on hadoop head (2) Give the hadoop community a solid utility for end-to-end testing of YARN apps. 
> This jira will be a significant undertaking, and we will work some on the idea during the BigTop Meetup today.  
> Lets start by diagraming the process for end-to-end testing of a hadoop patch using bigtop-rpms, and ensuring that its actually feasible.
