Hi all, In JDK 1.7, the order of the methods returned by reflection can vary. While the ordering was not guaranteed previously, it happens that it was always the same (declaration order). It's not the case anymore in JDK 1.7
Consequence for the tests: the order in which the tests are executed within a test class may vary. Because of this, JUnit 4.11 decided to execute the tests in a different order than the declaration order. That's explained here: http://randomallsorts.blogspot.fr/2012/12/junit-411-whats-new-test-execution-order.html So depending on the execution order used to be bad, but can now randomly breaks the tests, especially with jdk 1.7 and JUnit < 4.11. With JUnit 4.11, the order is determined, but different from what it used to be. So it breaks some tests. I'm currently fixing this (low priority). But it's worth knowing, especially if you port the tests from one HBase version to another. Cheers, Nicolas
