[jira] Commented: (HBASE-1556) [testing] optimize minicluster based testing in the test suite

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-1556?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12753975#action_12753975 ] 

Andrew Purtell commented on HBASE-1556:
---------------------------------------

HBASE-1828 is an issue where store level unit tests for filters pass but client side tests lock up. This is an indication that we need more client side tests for major functions. A persistent minicluster both helps and hurts here. It may make the suite fast enough to run the tests in a reasonable time frame, but bad state from a previous test case may manifest in a later one, causing confusion.

> For example, when testing Stargate, it is clear that the minicluster startup costs are included in the run time of the first unit test, which checks if the miniclusters are all running, and subsequent tests do not incur those costs:

> This can obviously shave a lot of time off the current HBase test suite. However, the current suite will need to be heavily modified. Each test case has been written with the expectation that it starts up a pristine minicluster, so there are assumptions made that will be invalidated, and many cases which duplicate the table creates of others, etc.
