Jonathan Hsieh updated HBASE-7582:
----------------------------------

    Description: 
I've also come around to agreeing with Jon Hsieh that we should have a test 
mode that somehow randomizes test order to catch issues where unit test cases 
are written with the assumption of a certain order. It should not be on by 
default but can be enabled when evaluating patches for commit that include new 
tests.

Case in point is HBASE-7581, which seems to be due to a new test added in 
HBASE-5498. The patch on HBASE-5498 tested out all green in local tests prior 
to commit.
