From 81d11a23cec8ee4f4c0f1122e6d54dfeb3e5c021 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001
From: Pawel Pery <pawel.pery@scylladb.com>
Date: Fri, 6 Feb 2026 11:16:33 +0100
Subject: [PATCH] Revert "Merge 'vector_search: add validator tests' from Pawel
 Pery"

This reverts commit bcd17589116e6cc4d3056650ecefb9034fffc1ec, reversing
changes made to b2c2a9974149c89522ea7014c368afe1647bdb34.

There is a design decision to not introduce additional test
orchestration tool for scylladb.git (see comments for #27499). One
commit has already been reverted in 55c7bc7. Last CI runs made validator
test flaky, so it is a time to remove all remaining validator tests.

It needs a backport to 2026.1 to remove remaining validator tests from there.

Fixes: VECTOR-497

Closes scylladb/scylladb#28568

-# `vector-search-validator` tests for Scylla and Vector Store
-
-`vector-search-validator` is a testing tool for validating the functionality of
-integration between Scylla and Vector Store. Such integration depends on the
-Scylla cluster and the Vector Store nodes and also on the DNS service. For this
-reason we run `vector-search-validator` in a network and storage linux
-namespace to separate it from the host environment. `vector-search-validator`
-contains DNS server and all tests in one binary. It uses external scylla and
-vector-store binaries.
-
-The `test_validator.py::test_validator[test-case]` is the entry point for
-running the tests. It is parametrized with name of the test case.  Available
-test cases are taken dynamically from the `vector-search-validator` binary.
-
-To run test with `dev` Scylla and test case `cql` run the following command in
-the dbuild environment (non dbuild environment is not supported currently, as
-test needs to have `sudo` permissions without password):
-
-```bash
-$ pytest --mode=dev test/vector_search_validator/test_validator.py::test_validator[cql]
-```
-
-To run all tests with `dev` Scylla run the following command:
-
-```bash
-$ pytest --mode=dev test/vector_search_validator/test_validator.py
-$ pytest --mode=dev test/vector_search_validator/test_validator.py::test_validator
-```
-
-You can tests with custom filters supported by validator. To run filtered tests
-with `dev` Scylla run the following command:
-
-```bash
-$ pytest --mode=dev test/vector_search_validator/test_validator.py --filters filter1,filter2,...
-```
-
-Logs are stored in
-`testlog/{mode}/vector_search_validator/{test-case}-{run_id}/` directory.
-
-Implementing new test cases on the Scylla repository side means adding new test
-in crate `crates/validator-scylla`.
