Kihwal Lee commented on HADOOP-7537:
------------------------------------
I understand the concerns. If we decide to add PowerMock, a strong warning
should be put at http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/HowToDevelopUnitTests.
The test I am writing is for detecting state changes external to JVM. E.g. IP
address changes.
> 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,

> this.
