--------------------------------------------------------

             Summary: In QTestGenTask.execute() we should not throw an exception right away if we are unable to clean any old files
                 Key: HIVE-10768
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-10768
             Project: Hive
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Testing Infrastructure
            Reporter: Hari Sankar Sivarama Subramaniyan
            Assignee: Hari Sankar Sivarama Subramaniyan


Currently in QTestGenTask.execute(), we have code like :
{code}
       if (logFile != null) {
         File lf = new File(logFile);
         if (lf.exists()) {
           if (!lf.delete()) {
             throw new Exception("Could not delete log file " + lf.getCanonicalPath());
         }
{code}

If the log file gets locked due to some other process, it throws the above exception and short circuits the entire test suite. We should provide a mechanism to generate alternative new log files/temporary files whenever possible to avoid unit test failures.
