Description

We apparently made a decision to not pass command line args when calling test_verify_metrics.py at the end of each test run.

  # Finally, validate impalad/statestored metrics.
  # Do not include any command-line arguments when invoking verifiers because it
  # can lead to tests being run multiple times should someone pass in a .py file.
  args = build_test_args(log_base_name='verify-metrics', valid_dirs=['verifiers'],
      include_cmdline_args=False)
  args += ' verifiers/test_verify_metrics.py'
  test_executor.run_tests(args)

But we need command line args like --namenode_http_address, --hive_server2, --metastore_server, or --impalad for remote cluster tests. Without them, these verifiers will always fail.

verifiers.test_verify_metrics.TestValidateMetrics.test_metrics_are_zero
verifiers.test_verify_metrics.TestValidateMetrics.test_num_unused_buffers
