Todd Lipcon commented on HADOOP-7537:
-------------------------------------
The way we've mocked things like this in HBase is to use a class called
"EnvironmentEdge". The default implementation simply forwards calls to the
normal JVM implementations (eg envEdge.currentTimeMillis() calls
System.currentTimeMillis()). It's then easy to mock this by replacing an
instance within a particular class with a mock. Could we do the same thing with
the construction of InetSocketAddress?
> 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,
> if not impossible, to properly test some of the low-level features without
> this.
