             Summary: ClassCast exceptions in parallel tests (Surefire Bug?)
                 Key: FLINK-1203
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-1203
             Project: Flink
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Build System
    Affects Versions: 0.8-incubating
            Reporter: Stephan Ewen
             Fix For: 0.8-incubating


I am frequently seeing weird (non-deterministic) class cast exception in the tests, where apparently casts fail in serial parts of the program. The casting attempts have nothing to do with the program context.

{code}
java.lang.ClassCastException: org.apache.flink.api.common.operators.base.DeltaIterationBase cannot be cast to org.apache.flink.api.common.operators.base.GroupReduceOperatorBase
	at org.apache.flink.api.scala.operators.translation.DistinctTranslationTest.testCombinable(DistinctTranslationTest.scala:39)
{code}

I am wondering whether that might be a strange bug in the forked execution, a possible bug in maven surefire.

I propose to deactivate the "reuseFork" option in surefire, to create a clean JVM (and class loaders) for each test.
