> Likely because it belongs to the too long list of flaky tests. A test should
> not fail randomly. Here is the list, from 2974 to 2598, with a timeouted
> TestMetaReaderEditor
> https://builds.apache.org/job/HBase-TRUNK/2597/testReport/org.apache.hadoop.hbase.catalog/
> https://builds.apache.org/job/HBase-TRUNK/2588/testReport/org.apache.hadoop.hbase.catalog/
> https://builds.apache.org/job/HBase-TRUNK/2585/testReport/org.apache.hadoop.hbase.catalog/
> https://builds.apache.org/job/HBase-TRUNK/2584/testReport/org.apache.hadoop.hbase.catalog/
> https://builds.apache.org/job/HBase-TRUNK/2582/testReport/org.apache.hadoop.hbase.catalog/
> https://builds.apache.org/job/HBase-TRUNK/2577/testReport/org.apache.hadoop.hbase.catalog/
> https://builds.apache.org/job/HBase-TRUNK/2574/testReport/org.apache.hadoop.hbase.catalog/
> It happens on hadoop-qa as well:
> https://builds.apache.org/job/PreCommit-HBASE-Build/640/testReport/org.apache.hadoop.hbase.catalog/
> https://builds.apache.org/job/PreCommit-HBASE-Build/638/testReport/org.apache.hadoop.hbase.catalog/
> https://builds.apache.org/job/PreCommit-HBASE-Build/630/testReport/org.apache.hadoop.hbase.catalog/
> https://builds.apache.org/job/PreCommit-HBASE-Build/622/testReport/org.apache.hadoop.hbase.catalog/
> Looking at the source code, main issues are:
> - in testRetrying, some threads are started, but will not be stopped if an
> assertion fails. As a consequence, the process will not stop
> - still in testRetrying, it's not possible to use @Test(timeout=180000),
> because if this timeout is reached, the thread won't be stopped.
> This does not explain why the test fails sometimes, but explain why we have a
> timeout instead of a clean failure.
> I also fixed some stuff that seems unrelated, and I cannot reproduce the
> error anymore locally after 10 tries. So I will try the patch on hadoop-qa.
> The patch includes as well the removal of TestAdmin#testHundredsOfTable
> because this test takes 2 minutes to execute; but proves nothing on success
> as there is no check on ressources used.
