I would add that we have an issue open for speeding up the test
suite, HBASE-410. Probably the most promising idea for speeding up
the test suite is converting some of the tests that don't need to be
integration tests into something more like true unit tests, or specs
for that matter. Mock objects used to test hyper-focused bits of the
system would be absolutely ideal, and has the advantage of being
quite fast.
If you wanted to make some early contributions, anything in this area
would be a FANTASTIC place to put them.

Hi there,
I checked out latest svn and did run the test.
The test suite failed at TestTable, are there known problems today?
Supposed to work. Usually does. New hadoop was checked in last
night. That might have been responsible. Breaks everytime? If
so, open JIRA.
Also the test suite took 24 min to run on my little poor box - is
there any way to speed this up?
Yeah. Its a real prob. Test suite starts up little mini dfs's and
mini hbase clusters and sometimes mini mr clusters. I've spent
time on figuring how to do weird things like start the dfs cluster
inside of an ant task but ran into classloading issues (joy).
Needs to be fixed.
(Our 'unit tests' are more like 'integration tests' -- one
approache would be to call them so and move them out of the unit
test suite).

Thanks.
