John Sichi commented on HIVE-1040:
----------------------------------
(You mean 2010 not 2011.)
So there's no problem; we have to take a one-time hit to update all the .q.out
files anyway, so that will take care of all of these legacy unsorted reference
logs.
> use sed rather than diff for masking out noise in diff-based tests

> Key: HIVE-1040
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-1040
> Project: Hive
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Testing Infrastructure
> Affects Versions: 0.4.1
> Reporter: John Sichi
> Assignee: Marek Sapota
> Priority: Minor
>
> The current diff -I approach has two problems: (1) it does not allow
> resolution finer than line-level, so it's impossible to mask out pattern
> occurrences within a line, and (2) it produces unmasked files, so if you run
> diff on the command line to compare the result .q.out with the checked-in
> file, you see the noise.
> My suggestion is to first run sed to replace noise patterns with an
> unlikely-to-occur string like ZYZZYZVA, and then diff the pre-masked files
> without using any -I.
> This would require a one-time hit to update all existing .q.out files so that
> they would contain the pre-masked results.
