Hi Steve, Thanks a lot for pointing out this issue. Indeed, JUnit 5 introduces significant differences compared to JUnit 4—one could even say the changes are quite drastic. That said, I think we’ll have to embrace this trend, as communities like Spark 4.0, Iceberg, and Flink are all moving in this direction.
My current plan is to first complete the migration of the remaining modules to JUnit 5 and fully remove JUnit 4, since we are already quite close to finishing that part. After that, we can consider upgrading to JUnit 5.13.2, which seems to reintroduce support for parameterized test classes. I'd be happy to help with this and prepare PRs to restore the previous parameterized behavior—but I’d really appreciate your help in providing a small demo or some guidance on the expected structure. Also, once we've fully switched to JUnit 5, I propose we start transitioning Hadoop tests toward AssertJ for assertions. We can initiate a discussion in the dev list once the JUnit 4 removal is complete. Thanks again for raising this point! Best, Shilun Fan.
