Sean Busbey commented on HBASE-21887:
-------------------------------------
Accumulo tried doing that for a while (provide a mock for use in tests instead
of a minicluster) and eventually abandoned it because it was too hard to make
sure there weren't behavior differences that mattered to downstream folks.

> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Task
> Components: Client, test
> Reporter: Duo Zhang
> Priority: Major
>
> It exposes too many internal stuffs to end user, and it is not easy to keep
> the API stable, as it is also used by us to implementing UTs.
> For end users, we should only exposes API to start a in process mini hbase
> cluster, and then user can create Connections to communicate with the
> cluster. And could exposes several APIs to start/stop/restart master
> regionservers. I think this is enough?
