             Summary: Create new parallel unit test environment
                 Key: HIVE-4675
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-4675
             Project: Hive
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Testing Infrastructure
            Reporter: Brock Noland
            Assignee: Brock Noland


The current ptest tool is great, but it has the following limitations:

-Required an NFS filer
-Unless the NFS filer is dedicated ptests can become IO bound easily
-Investigating of failures is troublesome because the source directory for the failure is not saved
-Ignoring or isolated tests is not supported
-No unit tests for the ptest framework exist

It'd be great to have a ptest tool that addresses this limitations.
