[jira] Updated: (HBASE-410) [testing] Speed up the test suite

["stack (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-410?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

stack updated HBASE-410:
------------------------

    Attachment: 410-v2.patch

New patch.  Deprecates HBaseTestCase and HBaseClusterTestCase.  Instead, using new utility class named HBaseTestUtility which will have all you need to test hbase.  I'm starting by replacing content of the client package with a single junit4 that spins up minicluster on startup and then runs all tests.  This patch is just a start.

> The test suite takes a long time to run, and a lot of the time spent running is really wasted on repeated startup and shutdown, waiting for asynchronous events to occur, and production-tuned timeouts to occur. Additionally, we use a MiniDFS instead of the local filesystem. 
> We should:
>  - Make whatever changes are needed to the local DFS so that it can run on Windows and use that as the basis of all of our tests
>  - Minimize redoing expensive setup where possible by combining tests into groups or suites that can share common setup
>  - Create a way of running all the parts (Master, Regionserver, Client) in a single thread and explicitly advancing through necessary states so that we can reliably and quickly get what we need tested accomplished
>  - Use smaller test datasets where it would make a difference (TestTableIndex and TestTableMapReduce, I'm looking at you!)
> A faster test suite means faster turnaround on new patches, faster Hudson, and a shorter patch queue. Not to mention less annoyance on the part of the developers.
