   @eadwright, I understand your concerns I don't really like it either. 
Meanwhile, I don't feel good having a test that is not executed automatically. 
Without regular executions there is no guarantee that this test would be 
executed ever again and even if someone would execute it it might fail because 
of the lack of maintenance.
   
   What do you think about the following options? @shangxinli, I'm also curious 
about your ideas.
   * Execute this test separately with a maven profile. I am not sure if the CI 
allows allocating such large memory but with Xmx options we might give a try 
and create a separate check for this test only.
   * Similar to the previous with the profile but not executing in the CI ever. 
Instead, we add some comments to the release doc so this test will be executed 
at least once per release.
   * Configuring the CI profile to skip this test but have it in the normal 
scenario meaning the devs will execute it locally. There are a couple of cons 
though. There is no guarantee that devs executes all the tests including this 
one. It also can cause issues if the dev doesn't have enough memory and don't 
know that the test failure is not related to the current change.
