Todd Lipcon commented on HADOOP-7537:
-------------------------------------
I've also often wanted PowerMock. My only question is whether we should treat
its usage as a red flag -- I think often it's indicatve of a design issue in
the code. Where did you run into something that was untestable without it?
> Add PowerMock for the development of better tests

> We already have Mockito, but PowerMock extends its capabilties so that we can
> mock constructors and static methods. I find that it is extremely difficult,
