Nicolas Liochon commented on HBASE-8256:
----------------------------------------
I would prefer to keep a real 'small tests' category. Sharing the JVM for small
tests saves us from a lot of fork and makes tests faster. As we're supposed to
have more and more tests, I would love to have more and more *small* tests. The
setting to use with newer surefire version is 'reuseFork'.
last time I checked, test methods and categories were buggy, but may be it has
been fixed.
Would it work to:
- use an exclusion group fo 'Flaky' Category
- add a profile to run only the 'Flaky'
You said previously that you need as well to convert the old test cases
extending TestCase. May be this could be done in a separate JIRA?

> To make the Jenkin build more useful, it is good to keep it blue/green. We
> can mark those flaky tests flaky, and don't run them by default. However,
> people can still run them. We can also set up a Jekin build just for those
> flaky tests.
