             Summary: Consider: speed up dev. tests using Maven "integration-test" phase
                 Key: DRILL-2026
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/DRILL-2026
             Project: Apache Drill
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Daniel Barclay (Drill/MapR)


Because many of our unit test classes (unit tests in the sense of being run by Surefire in Maven's "test" phase) need to have a running Drillbit, then because they are unit tests, each such test class starts up its own Drillbit, taking quite a while, especially considering the aggregate time.


Consider moving Drillbit-needing tests to be Maven integration tests (run in Maven's "integration-test" phase by Failsafe).

That would allow for starting up a Drillbit (or multiple Drillbits and other servers) in Maven's "pre-integration-test" phase, using those servers for all tests, and shutting down the servers in Maven's "post-integration-test" phase.

That should save quite a lot of time--the product of the time per Drillbit startup plus shutdown and the number of test classes changed to integration tests.
