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

I had an offline conversation with Jakob about this and he expressed that the 
approach is about to enforce max time of a true unit test execution. Unit tests 
are clearly suppose to be very short.

I still have a couple comments about this:
 - let's call class {{UnitTestTimeLimit}} rather then 
{{TenSecondsTimeoutPerTest}} to make it more generic
 - let's make timeout to be a constant and move it to a config or util class
 - let's update [Unit test 
page|http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/HowToDevelopUnitTests]
 - as we are going to establish a precedent for setting rules of engagement I'd 
suggest to update  HADOOP-6399 with that rule

> 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.
