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

             Summary: Integration tests that do bulkload should be better documented
                 Key: HBASE-12860
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-12860
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: integration tests
    Affects Versions: 0.98.10
            Reporter: Dima Spivak
            Assignee: Dima Spivak
            Priority: Minor


Running hbase-it tests that create and bulkload HFiles has a learning curve at the moment. For example, these tests (e.g. IntegrationTestBulkLoad) need to be run by the hbase user so that the files that are created have the necessary permissions to be imported into HBase. Moreover, a /user/hbase directory must already exist (or the hbase user must belong to a group allowed to write in /user), or the test will fail because of permissions problems. 

We should document these things in the ref guide and log warnings in the tests to help people catch these problems.
