[jira] [Commented] (HIVE-22942) Replace PTest with an alternative

["Aron Hamvas (Jira)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-22942?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=17046676#comment-17046676 ] 

Aron Hamvas commented on HIVE-22942:
------------------------------------

Good!
We have already been brainstorming about this a bit with [~b.maidics] and [~zchovan], and I heard rumors that [~pvary] had ideas about this last year. Might be good to involve those guys as they all seemed heavily interested.

The (informal) discussions were focused on two major topics:
1. Execution engine. E.g. moving to JUnit 5 is probably not a huge effort and it supports parallel execution that could speed up execution.
2. Rewriting Ptest framework or replacing it with a more general purpose alternative.

> I never opened a jira about this...but it might actually help collect ideas and actually start going somewhere sooner than later :D
> Right now we maintain the ptest2 project inside Hive to be able to run Hive tests in a distributed fashion...the backstab of this solution is that we are putting much effort into maintaining a distributed test execution framework...
> I think it would be better if we could find an off the shelf solution for the task and migrate to that instead of putting more efforts into the ptest framework
