Niels Basjes commented on HBASE-16536:
--------------------------------------
In the original location it was put there to 'only' support testing Filters.
With the new name and new location I attempted to indicate that this class will
automatically start a 'generic' HBase cluster for testing in general.
The idea is that an application that uses HBase and needs to test against it
can simply add the hbase-server 'tests' jars as test dependency and simply use
it in their unit tests.
What name and package would you suggest?
> Make the HBase minicluster easy to use for testing downstream applications.

> In many applications I write I use HBase to store information.
> A big problem is testing these applications.
> I have seen several situations where people have written tests that create
> tables in the development cluster and due to firewalls and such couldn't run
> those tests from Jenkins.
> A while ago I wrote the FilterTestingCluster class that makes unit testing
> the client side filters a lot easier. With this ticket I propose to make this
> more generic and make it so that user applications can easily incorporate it
> into their own unit tests without any major modifications to their
> application.
