# Apache Accumulo Release Testing

This repository contains an integration test (IT) that runs all of the
examples.  This can be used for testing Accumulo release candidates (RC). To
run the IT against a RC add the following to `~/.m2/settings.xml` changing
`XXXX` to the proper id for a given RC.

```xml
 <profiles>
   <profile>
     <id>rcAccumulo</id>
     <repositories>
       <repository>
         <id>accrc</id>
         <name>accrcp</name>
         <url>https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapacheaccumulo-XXXX</url>
       </repository>
     </repositories>
     <pluginRepositories>
       <pluginRepository>
         <id>accrcp</id>
         <name>accrcp</name>
         <url>https://repository.apache.org/content/repositories/orgapacheaccumulo-XXX</url>
       </pluginRepository>
     </pluginRepositories>
   </profile>
 </profiles>
```

After adding that, you can run the following command in this repository to run the IT.

```
mvn clean verify -PrcAccumulo -Daccumulo.version=$ACCUMULO_RC_VERSION
```
