Hi Kevin, The new tests are good thing. I think Github Actions are a better platform for builds and integration tests that Jenkins. We moved our PR checks to Github Actions because we were able to run them so much faster. Would you consider seeing how your tests might work as Github Actions? This might be a good way to pilot moving HBase's other nightly automations to Github.
