anishek commented on HIVE-16642: -------------------------------- * Wondering why the ReplicationV1BackwardCompatChecker is in hcatalog/webhcat/java-client/test, couldnt it be directly itests/hive-unit * I was thinking a bit more about the test case itself with the @FixedMethodOrdering. I think calling the assertion method explicitly from each of the test cases would make it easier to identify which test case containing events has lead to a failure. I think there might be a way to achieve this using similar code as below example. Do let me know what do you think? {code} public class SampleTest { static class VerificationRule implements TestRule { static int a = 0; @Override public Statement apply(Statement base, Description description) { return new Statement() { @Override public void evaluate() throws Throwable { base.evaluate(); a += 1; assertTrue(a % 2 == 0); } }; } } @Rule public VerificationRule rule = new VerificationRule(); @Test public void test1() { assertTrue(true); } @Test public void test2() { assertTrue(true); } } {code} > New Events created as part of replv2 potentially break replv1 > ------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HIVE-16642 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HIVE-16642 > Project: Hive > Issue Type: Sub-task > Components: repl > Reporter: Sushanth Sowmyan > Assignee: Sushanth Sowmyan > Attachments: HIVE-16642.1.patch > > > We have a couple of new events introduced, such as > \{CREATE,DROP\}\{INDEX,FUNCTION\} since the introduction of replv1, but those > which do not have a replv1 ReplicationTask associated with them. > Thus, for users like Falcon, we potentially wind up throwing a > IllegalStateException if replv1 based HiveDR is running on a cluster with > these updated events. > Thus, we should be more graceful when encountering them, returning a > NoopReplicationTask equivalent that they can make use of, or ignore, for such > newer events. > In addition, we should add additional test cases so that we track whether or > not the creation of these events leads to any backward incompatibility we > introduce. To this end, if any of the events should change so that we > introduce a backward incompatibility, we should have these tests fail, and > alert us to that possibility. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.15#6346)
