Alan Gates commented on HIVE-18372: ----------------------------------- Peter, could you comment a bit on the goals behind this change? I think what you're trying to do is take what we currently do with the TestHiveMetaStore and make it generic so that we do not have to put everything we want tested in that one class. Is that correct, or is there more to it? Also, I don't understand the ClusterMetaStore class. Are you connecting to an existing external metastore in this case? A side note on the parameterization. I would like to make it so that metastore (and really all of Hive's unit tests) can run in parallel using the surefire plugins parallel features. I don't know how that interacts with the parameterization of the tests. I'd like to figure that out before we commit this. > Create testing infra to test different HMS instances > ---------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-18372 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-18372 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Sub-task > Reporter: Peter Vary > Assignee: Peter Vary > Attachments: HIVE-18372.patch > > > Since there will be multiple tests, it would be good to have a good > infrastructure to help creating those faster, easier. > This patch will also include the test cases for the Database related methods > to showcase the infra -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.4.14#64029)
