             Summary: Move testsuite server orchestration to a domain
                 Key: HRJS-30
                 URL: https://issues.jboss.org/browse/HRJS-30
             Project: Infinispan Javascript client
          Issue Type: Enhancement
    Affects Versions: 0.3.0
            Reporter: Galder Zamarreño


As more tests have been added to the Infinispan JS testsuite, the existing simple server orchestration script/environment are turning out to be a bit painful to deal with. 

On one hand, Haskell's {{stack}} can be sometimes difficult to install in some envs, e.g. Ubuntu. I've also seen issues with Turtle library used in Haskell and copying contents inside symbolic links in Red Hat Linux.

On top of that, as security and cross-site tests were added, more configurations were added and more servers need to be added, making it track the configs a bit more confusing. 

Finally, the methods used to start/stop servers in self-contained tests, e.g. xsite and cluster failover, a little bit clunky.

So, with this in mind, we thought of using more suitable orchestration techniques for Infinispan servers. We considered docker compose and kubernetes, but since the servers just simply need to run in a single machine and there's not a huge need to have clean environments, we decided to use a single Infinispan server domain to orchestrate all servers.

The advantages of domain is that is easy to start all servers with the right configuration very quickly, and start/stop servers from tests is very easy and quick compared with current approach. On top of that, having domain based orchestration will make it easy to port over the servers, their configs and script over to testsuites of other langs.
