Test Reports with Visual Studio, NUnit and Allure

• Firstly we need to download and install NUnit: www.NUnit.org
• Secondly we need the Allure NUnit adaptor, follow instructions here: Allure Framework Adaptor for NUnit
• The Allure Command Line Interface is needed, get it from here: Allure CLI
• Java JDK needs to be installed and specified correctly in your JAVE_HOME variable in your environment

Git: main commands

1. git status
Основной инструмент, используемый для определения, какие файлы в каком состоянии находятся
2. git add
Для того чтобы начать отслеживать (добавить под версионный контроль) новый файл, используется команда
3. git commit

Spring: questions

1. What are the main Spring features?

• AOP support 
• Lightweight framework 
• container 
• Inversion of control implementation 

Spring

1. What is Spring

• lightweight jar libraries
• container (manages lifecycle of objects) (there is no need to use new for creating objects. All objects are in container)
• framework (there are a lot of classes which can help with data base, services)
• Dependency Injection (Inversion of Control) (objects get their their dependencies and do not create it)
• AOP (Aspect Oriented Programming)

Examples with xpath and Css (ID, Name, Text and Links)

1. With ID : - //input[@id='email'] or  //*[@id='email']

   css - input#email or #email

2. With Name - //input[@name='email'] or  //*[@name='email']
    css - input[name=email] or [name=email]

Hadoop installation notes

Cluster planning:

• Small cluster (2-10 nodes): Clusters of three or more machines typically use a dedicated NameNode/ResourceManager, and all other nodes are workers. 
• Medium cluster (10-40 nodes): separate machines for master, usually dedicated edge node 
• Large cluster (> 40 nodes): occupies multiple racks, requires individual planning

Storage layer for HDFS:

• Cloud and virtualization solutions are very popular in the enterprise world 
• With Hadoop, focus on using JDOD (just bunch of disks) instead of SAN (storage area network) 
• Hadoop heterogeneous storage was introduced in Hadoop 2.5

Commodity hardware:

Balanced configuration for one worker recommended by vendors:

• 2-4 8-cores CPU 
• 128 GB RAM 
• 12 hard drives (1 or 2 TB each)

HDFS Architecture

• Individual machines are known as nodes 
• A cluster can have as few as one node, as many as several thousands
• Two types of nodes: NameNode and DataNode 
• More nodes = better performance 
• HDFS is a filesystem written in Java 
• The NameNode daemon must be running at all times If the NameNode stops, the cluster becomes inaccessible 
• The NameNode holds all of its metadata in RAM for fast access 
• A separate daemon known as the Secondary NameNode takes care of some housekeeping tasks for the NameNode
• Although files are split into 64MB or 128MB blocks
• Blocks are stored as standard files on the DataNodes, in a set of directories specified in Hadoop’s configuration files 
• Without the metadata on the NameNode, there is no way to access the files in the HDFS cluster
• When a client application wants to read a file: It communicates with the NameNode to determine which blocks make up the file, and which DataNodes those blocks reside on. It then communicates directly with the DataNodes to read the data
