Csaba Ringhofer updated IMPALA-14174:
-------------------------------------
    Epic Link: IMPALA-15023

> 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
>            Priority: Minor
>
> .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
> Note that the classic pytest answer would be "don't use any of those, use 
> fixtures", but turning some of these members (clients, cluster abstraction) 
> into fixtures would be a massive refactor and may make the code more noisy.
