Mark Miller commented on SOLR-12028:
------------------------------------

Do we really need to close the individual test issues as well? That lets us 
link to the individual issue for a test in the annotation and keep discussion 
and history related to each test separate as necessary. We can still have an 
overall tracking issue like this, but it doesnt seem like a great substitute 
for having issues individually for bad tests.

> There's a long discussion of this topic at SOLR-12016. Here's a summary:
> - BadApple annotations are used for tests that intermittently fail, say < 30% 
> of the time. Tests that fail more often shold be moved to AwaitsFix. This is, 
> of course, a judgement call
> - AwaitsFix annotations are used for tests that, for some reason, the problem 
> can't be fixed immediately. Likely reasons are third-party dependencies, 
> extreme difficulty tracking down, dependency on another JIRA etc.
> Jenkins jobs will typically run with BadApple disabled to cut down on noise. 
> Periodically Jenkins jobs will be run with BadApples enabled so BadApple 
> tests won't be lost and reports can be generated. Tests that run with 
> BadApples disabled that fail require _immediate_ attention.
> The default for developers is that BadApple is enabled.
> If you are working on one of these tests and cannot get the test to fail 
> locally, it is perfectly acceptable to comment the annotation out. You should 
> let the dev list know that this is deliberate.
> This JIRA is a placeholder for BadApple tests to point to between the times 
> they're identified as BadApple and they're either fixed or changed to 
> AwaitsFix or assigned their own JIRA.
> I've assigned this to myself to track so I don't lose track of it. No one 
> person will fix all of these issues, this will be an ongoing technical debt 
> cleanup effort.
