The "new" IT framework provides a convenient way to package and run integration tests (ITs), but only for core modules. We have a use case to run an IT for a contrib extension: the proposed gRPC query extension. This PR provides the IT framework functionality to allow non-core ITs.
This commit is a first draft of the revised integration test framework which provides:
- A new directory, integration-tests-ex that holds the new integration test structure. (For now, the existing integration-tests is left unchanged.)
- Maven module druid-it-tools to hold code placed into the Docker image.
- Maven module druid-it-image to build the Druid-only test image from the tarball produced in distribution. (Dependencies live in their "official" image.)
- Maven module druid-it-cases that holds the revised tests and the framework itself. The framework includes file-based test configuration, test-specific clients, test initialization and updated versions of some of the common test support classes.
The integration test setup is primarily a huge mass of details. This approach refactors many of those details: from how the image is built and configured to how the Docker Compose scripts are structured to test configuration. An extensive set of "readme" files explains those details. Rather than repeat that material here, please consult those files for explanations.
