Multiple bug-fixes were made to support running Accumulo over multiple HDFS instances using ViewFS. [ACCUMULO-2047][ACCUMULO-2047] is the parent
ticket that contains numerous fixes to enable this support.
+### Maven Plugin
+
+This version of Accumulo is accompanied by a new maven plugin for testing client apps ([ACCUMULO-1030][ACCUMULO-1030]). You can execute the accumulo-maven-plugin inside your project by adding the following to your pom.xml's build plugins section:
+
+ <plugin>
+ <groupId>org.apache.accumulo</groupId>
+ <artifactId>accumulo-maven-plugin</artifactId>
+ <version>1.6.0</version>
+ <configuration>
+ <instanceName>plugin-it-instance</instanceName>
+ <rootPassword>ITSecret</rootPassword>
+ </configuration>
+ <executions>
+ <execution>
+ <id>run-plugin</id>
+ <goals>
+ <goal>start</goal>
+ <goal>stop</goal>
+ </goals>
+ </execution>
+ </executions>
+ </plugin>
+
+This plugin is designed to work in conjunction with the maven-failsafe-plugin. A small test instance of Accumulo will run during the pre-integration-test phase of the Maven build lifecycle, and will be stopped in the post-integration-test phase. Your integration tests, executed by maven-failsafe-plugin can access this instance with a MiniAccumuloInstance connector (the plugin uses MiniAccumuloInstance, internally), as in the following example:
+
+ private static Connector conn;
+
+ @BeforeClass
+ public static void setUp() throws Exception {
+ String instanceName = "plugin-it-instance";
+ Instance instance = new MiniAccumuloInstance(instanceName, new File("target/accumulo-maven-plugin/" + instanceName));
+ conn = instance.getConnector("root", new PasswordToken("ITSecret"));
+ }
+
+This plugin is quite limited, currently only supporting an instance name and a root user password as configuration parameters. Improvements are expected in future releases, so feedback is welcome and appreciated (file bugs/requests under the "maven-plugin" component in the Accumulo JIRA).
+
### Packaging
One notable change that was made to the binary tarball is the purposeful omission of a pre-built copy of the Accumulo "native map" library.
