First, I would like to thank Prasad Mujumdar for his recent contributions of MiniHS2 and MiniKDC. Those are awesome test infra components to make testing easier for HS2 and kerberos. Thanks, Prasad!
With that checked in now in our repo, we can start making use of those to improve our test coverage. There are variety of new features which have landed recently in trunk for HS2 like http transport, pluggable authentication, new authorization model to name a few. There are test cases for these in isolation, but not in combination of other features. e.g, HS2 running on http transport with new auth model with kerberos authentication. Or, HS2 running in binary mode with LDAP authentication. So on and so forth. I don't have good sense which all combinations we want to support and thus test. But for atleast those which we do want to support, seems like its possible to write tests for those using MiniHS2 & MiniKDC. I think we can take our existing tests in TestJdbcDriver2 (possibly with little refactoring) and run it against MiniHS2 in various server configurations. Also, we have TestBeelineDriver, which is currently turned off by default. Shall we turn it on? I think it can tests at various level of concurrency. May be to begin with we can set concurrency level at 1 and if things look good bump that number higher up. Thoughts? Thanks, Ashutosh
