Running individual Hadoop tests

Hadoop's test suite takes a long time to run. Steve Loughran and Doug Cutting have done some work to speeding them up: see HADOOP-3694. In the meantime if you want to focus on a particular test, follow Steve's HadoopUnderIDEA instructions on the wiki, and add a "test.include" property to build.properties. For example to focus on just TestCLI.java, add the property "test.include=TestCLI*". The ideal thing would be to have IDEA pick up a global test config, but I haven't figured out how to do that yet.

    hi bill,

    "In the meantime if you want to focus on a particular test" : do you mean just run one unit test through ant ?

    "do you mean just run one unit test through ant"

    Anjan, yes. It's handy when working on particular. Otherwise it's a few hours for me for a test cycle to complete.

    try
    ant test-core -Dtestcase=TestCLI
