Running tests without VM / install context

[Jay Vyas <ja...@gmail.com>]

Hi : Is there a distilled example of how to run the bigtop smoke tests
outside of the context of the bigtop framework?

For example, on a live cluster - how can I run the hive smoke tests?

Almost all of our tests expect JUnit executor of some kind as
an entry point. The default execution is done via some
maven magic under bigtop-tests/test-execution. A good
example for you would be:
    bigtop-tests/test-execution/smokes/hive/pom.xml

Now, that said, any kind of JUnit executor would do.

The only caveat is that our tests expect certain sysprops/env variables
to be set in order to function properly -- Maven entry
point under bigtop-tests/test-execution/smokes does that
automatically, but if you don't use maven you would have
to do it yourself.

There's also these wiki pages that can help:
