Geoffrey Anderson commented on KAFKA-1347:
------------------------------------------
Just making sure you're aware of work we're doing at Confluent on system tests.
I'll be posting a KIP for this soon, but here's some info:
The original plan is sketched here:
https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/System+Test+Improvements
This is the core library/test framework (WIP) which aids in writing and running
the tests
https://github.com/confluentinc/ducktape/
This has system tests we've written to date for the Confluent Platform
https://github.com/confluentinc/muckrake
> Create a system test for network partitions
> -------------------------------------------
>
> Key: KAFKA-1347
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/KAFKA-1347
> Project: Kafka
> Issue Type: Test
> Reporter: Jay Kreps
>
> We got some free and rather public QA here:
> http://aphyr.com/posts/293-call-me-maybe-kafka
> We have since added a configuration to disable unclean leader election which
> allows you to prefer consistency over availability when all brokers fail.
> This has some unit tests, but ultimately there is no reason to believe this
> works unless we have a fairly aggressive system test case for it.
> https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/KAFKA/Kafka+System+Tests
> It would be good to add support for network partitions. I don't think we
> actually need to try to use the jepsen stuff directly, we can just us the
> underlying tools it uses--iptables and tc. These are linux specific, but that
> is prolly okay. You can see these at work here:
> https://github.com/aphyr/jepsen/blob/master/src/jepsen/control/net.clj
> Having this would help provide better evidence that this works now, and would
> keep it working in the future.
