Hi,

I have some complaints about FastBulkImportIT (a test added with https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-3327) but no good ideas for how to better test it. As it presently stands, it is a very subjective test WRT the kind of hardware used to run it.

The test launches a 3-tserver MAC instance, creates about 585 splits on a table, creates 100 files with ~1200 key-value pairs, and then waits for the table to be balanced.

At this point, it imports these files into that table and fails if that takes longer than 30s.

On my VPS (3core, 6G ram, "SSD"), the bulk import takes ~45 seconds. This test will never pass on this node which bothers me because I am of the opinion that anyone (with reasonable hardware) should be able to run our tests (and to make sure it's clear: I believe this is reasonable hardware).

Does anyone have any thoughts on how we could stabilize this test for developers?

- Josh
