[jira] [Commented] (IMPALA-8816) custom cluster tests in precommit are taking close to 2 hours

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IMPALA-8816?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=16896665#comment-16896665 ] 

Tim Armstrong commented on IMPALA-8816:
---------------------------------------

A large part of the problem is that start-impala-cluster.py is not designed to support these kind of startup failure tests. Some startup failure tests end up waiting for CLUSTER_WAIT_TIMEOUT_IN_SECONDS for a metric to increment. This is non-deterministic. It seems like much of the time the tests fail with a shorter timeout when processes fail to appear here - https://github.com/apache/impala/blob/72c9370856d7436885adbee3e8da7e7d9336df15/tests/common/impala_cluster.py#L166. But unlucky ones get stuck waiting for the longer metric timeout.

I think we could fix this entirely by specialising start-impala-cluster to have an "expected startup failure mode" that waits for the number of impalads to hit 0, which should be quick, then throws an exception.

> This is affecting precommit times substantially. We should either speed up the tests or, more likely, move some to exhaustive.
