Andrew Purtell commented on HBASE-12287:
----------------------------------------

Not bad, but how about a retry policy that, if a test fails, reruns it to get 3 
out of 5 good runs, passes if so, fails otherwise. Still would be a stopgap for 
short term green builds but less of a risk that an actual broken test happens 
to pass once by accident. 

> Add retry runners to the most commonly failing tests

> Many of our tests have nondeterministic behavior due to inter-test 
> interference. Usually restarting the test is enough to verify whether it is 
> test interference or a broken test. Lets use a retry runner which runs the 
> aftertest->before test and reruns the tests 10 times.
