1. should be run from myisam/ftbench/ 2. myisam/ftdefs.h should NOT be locked (bk get, not bk edit!) 3. there should be ./data/ subdir with test collections, files: test1.d test1.q test1.r test2.d test2.q test2.r where test1, test2, etc - are arbitrary test names *.[dq] files contain documents/queries one item per line. *.r files have the structure: 1 16 .....blablabla 1 09 .....blablabla 2 116 .....blablabla ... that is /^\d+\s+\d+/ and are sorted by the first number (not necessarily by the second) 4. there should be ./t/ subdir with test directories ./t ./t/BEST/ ./t/testdir1/ ./t/testdir2/ ... there *must* be ./t/BEST/ subdir or a symlink to one of other dirs in ./t all other names (besides BEST) can be arbitrary all test results are compared with BEST results. test directories may contain ftdefs.h, my.cnf, ft_mode (the last one is used as in ... MATCH ... AGAINST ("..." $ft_mode) ...) NOTE: all *.out files in test directories will NOT be overwritten! delete them to re-test 5. run ./ft-test-run.sh 6. go make some coffee
