Konstantin Boudnik commented on HADOOP-6987:
--------------------------------------------

I don't like unnecessary inheritance in tests. This is, in fact, why I can't 
stand JUnit3 ;)
The solution in the patch has one more disadvantage: what if we'll have tests 
which shouldn't go over 10 secs, and others (i.e. true unit tests) which 
shouldn't exceed 2 secs? Would offered solution force us to have different 
implementations for different timeouts?

In this particular case I'd suggest to simply annotate test cases with expected 
timeout as in 
{noformat}
@Test(timeout=10000)
public void testEscapeString() throws Exception {
{noformat}

> Use JUnit Rule to optionally fail test cases that run more than 10 seconds

> Using JUnit Rules annotations we can fail tests cases that take longer than 
> 10 seconds (for instance) to run.  This provides a regression check against 
> test cases taking longer than they had previously due to unintended code 
> changes, as well as provides a membership criteria for unit tests versus 
> integration tests in HDFS and MR.
