             Summary: Clean up class vs instance handling in Impala EE tests
                 Key: IMPALA-14174
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/IMPALA-14174
             Project: IMPALA
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: Test
            Reporter: Csaba Ringhofer


.cls and .self are often used interchangeably in subclasses of ImpalaTestSuite, 
which can get confusing, e.g  
https://gerrit.cloudera.org/#/c/22527/23/tests/metadata/test_event_processing_base.py

A reason is that many initialization logic happens in 
ImpalaTestSuite/CustomClusterTestSuite's setup_class, which can only use class 
methods, but some of these class methods are also used during per test method 
initialization, where instance methods would be more suitable. An example is 
cluster_setup() 
https://github.com/apache/impala/blob/892b33f35d1cab01d91d9b5eaac079ec8ba236bb/tests/common/custom_cluster_test_suite.py#L268

class and instance variables as not differentiated in naming but have different 
subclass semantics, e.g CustomClusterTestSuite.my_var = 1 won't be visible when 
someone asks for ImpalaTestSuite.my_var
