> I made an ant target quick-test, which differs from test in that it
> has no dependencies.
>  <target name="quick-test">
>    <iterate target="test"/>
>  </target>
> <target name="test" depends="clean-test,jar">
>  <iterate target="test"/>
>  <iterate-cpp target="test"/>
> </target>
> time ant -Dhadoop.version='0.18.3' -Doffline=true
> -Dtestcase=TestCliDriver -Dqfile=alter1.q quick-test
> BUILD SUCCESSFUL
> Total time: 15 seconds
> real    0m16.250s

> time ant -Dhadoop.version='0.18.3' -Doffline=true

> Some makefiles set flags files like "make.ok", that allow the build process to intelligently skip steps that are already done. Currently, a target like test has no way of determining state and will re-issue dependent targets like clean-test,jar (and there dependents). 
> Suggestion:
> Hive should set flags or intelligently determine the state of the build and save cpu development time. Targets should not re-execute unless a clean is explicitly given.
