[jira] [Commented] (BIGTOP-1066) multifilewc and possibly other mapreduce smoke tests rely on mapred: should they be separated or replaced?

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BIGTOP-1066?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13771386#comment-13771386 ] 

Roman Shaposhnik commented on BIGTOP-1066:
------------------------------------------

I think pulling in the extra dependencies via Maven could be a good idea. On a related note -- it seems that we've got a regression in Hadoop smoke tests recently since sleep job was enabled, but it is no longer im mapreduce-examples. Rather it is also part of the test artifact.

> Problem: The use of old tests (i.e. those that use mapred) can cause issues.  Bigtop gets its hadoop mapreduce tests from the underlying mapreduce library, which in some ways is good - it is expected to match the distro - but other ways , its bad, because if takes control away from the person running the bigtop smokes.  
> Solution: Should bigtop have a specific version of mapreduce smokes which it runs by linking to the hadoop-examples as maven deps instead of by referencing the hadoop-examples jars in the distribution?  
> Any thoughts?  A patch that implemented this would simply add a pom file dependency snippet referencing hadoop-examples, or else, pull the jars down some other way, and run them directly rather then referencing HADOOP_HOME/examples*jar
