Hi there,
the BaseIntegrationTest.java currently uses io.crate.testing.CrateTestCluster and io.crate.testing.CrateTestServer from CrateDB Java Testing Classes. If it is capable enough to replace this layer, we could now use Testcontainers for Java » CrateDB support, thanks to @matriv's contribution testcontainers/testcontainers-java#6790, which has been released yesterday.
With kind regards,
Andreas.
