To close the loop on this, I just merged a new action for the Kudu CLI which can be used to create and control mini-clusters. Here's the commit: https://github.com/apache/kudu/commit/761ce10b797c4f6345f0b84cfe30bcc92e346893
I also have a patch out for review that adapts the Java tests to use this new action, and I expect that to be merged soon. If anyone's interested in doing the same for the Python tests, I'm happy to review your work.
