[Moved from PMC as there is nothing really private involved] DataStax has graciously offered to contribute cassandra-dtest [0] to the project.
There were, however, two issues noted by Jonathan when he presented the offer to the PMC: 1. dtest mixes tests for many cassandra versions together in a single project. So having it live in the main cassandra repo, versioned by cassandra release, doesn't really make sense. Is Infra able to create a second repo for this, or is the "one project, one repo" mapping fixed? 2. DataStax did not require a CLA to contribute to dtest, so the non-DS contributors to dtest would need to be contacted for their permission to assign copyright to the ASF. Is the PMC willing to tackle this? In a brief discussion, it was deduced that #1 can be addressed by adding apache/cassandra-dtest to the ASF repo (the example of apache/aurora and apache/aurora-packaging was given to justify this). #2 will be harder as it will require tracking a few people people down to sign ASF CLAs. Before we really put effort into this, I wanted to open the discussion up about whether we are willing to take on the development of this in the project. Thoughts? -Nate [0] https://github.com/riptano/cassandra-dtest
