Running tests on hadoop 2.4, both native and java result in failures on Ubuntu 14.04.
I understand that for patches to be accepted, the minimum criteria is that all tests pass, however the vanilla release itself fails quite quickly. Is this a well known issue ? Should I be using a different Linux version. BTW, even on 2.2, not all tests passed successfully ( on Ubuntu 12.04). Thanks, Malcolm Extract from the test log (running with -fae flag to keep going): Failed tests: TestSymlinkLocalFSFileContext>SymlinkBaseTest.testStatLinkToFile:244 null TestSymlinkLocalFSFileContext>SymlinkBaseTest.testStatLinkToDir:286 null TestSymlinkLocalFSFileContext>SymlinkBaseTest.testCreateLinkUsingRelPaths:447->SymlinkBaseTest.checkLink:381 null TestSymlinkLocalFSFileContext>SymlinkBaseTest.testCreateLinkUsingAbsPaths:472->SymlinkBaseTest.checkLink:381 null TestSymlinkLocalFSFileContext>SymlinkBaseTest.testCreateLinkUsingFullyQualPaths:503->SymlinkBaseTest.checkLink:381 null TestSymlinkLocalFSFileContext>TestSymlinkLocalFS.testStatDanglingLink:115->SymlinkBaseTest.testStatDanglingLink:301 null TestSymlinkLocalFSFileContext>SymlinkBaseTest.testCreateLinkToDirectory:627 null TestSymlinkLocalFSFileContext>SymlinkBaseTest.testCreateLinkViaLink:679 null TestSymlinkLocalFSFileContext>SymlinkBaseTest.testRenameSymlinkViaSymlink:897 null TestSymlinkLocalFSFileContext>SymlinkBaseTest.testRenameSymlinkNonExistantDest:1036 null TestSymlinkLocalFSFileContext>SymlinkBaseTest.testRenameSymlinkToExistingFile:1063 null TestSymlinkLocalFSFileContext>SymlinkBaseTest.testRenameSymlink:1134 null TestSymlinkLocalFSFileSystem>SymlinkBaseTest.testStatLinkToFile:244 null TestSymlinkLocalFSFileSystem>SymlinkBaseTest.testStatLinkToDir:286 null TestSymlinkLocalFSFileSystem>SymlinkBaseTest.testCreateLinkUsingRelPaths:447->SymlinkBaseTest.checkLink:381 null TestSymlinkLocalFSFileSystem>SymlinkBaseTest.testCreateLinkUsingAbsPaths:472->SymlinkBaseTest.checkLink:381 null TestSymlinkLocalFSFileSystem>SymlinkBaseTest.testCreateLinkUsingFullyQualPaths:503->SymlinkBaseTest.checkLink:381 null TestSymlinkLocalFSFileSystem>SymlinkBaseTest.testCreateLinkToDirectory:627 null TestSymlinkLocalFSFileSystem>SymlinkBaseTest.testCreateLinkViaLink:679 null TestSymlinkLocalFSFileSystem>SymlinkBaseTest.testRenameSymlinkViaSymlink:897 null TestSymlinkLocalFSFileSystem>SymlinkBaseTest.testRenameSymlinkNonExistantDest:1036 null TestSymlinkLocalFSFileSystem>SymlinkBaseTest.testRenameSymlinkToExistingFile:1063 null TestSymlinkLocalFSFileSystem>SymlinkBaseTest.testRenameSymlink:1134 null TestSymlinkLocalFSFileSystem>TestSymlinkLocalFS.testStatDanglingLink:115->SymlinkBaseTest.testStatDanglingLink:301 null Tests in error: TestSymlinkLocalFSFileContext>TestSymlinkLocalFS.testDanglingLink:163 » IO Pat...
