Robert Muir commented on LUCENE-1709:
-------------------------------------

Thanks Jason.

So for newtrunk I applied a similar patch to speed up Solr's tests.
You can see it here: http://svn.apache.org/viewvc?rev=926470&view=rev

In this case the output is not interleaved because it uses a special formatter.
So it basically looks just like you are not using parallel at all.
Additionally -Dtestpackage, -Dtestpackageroot, -Dtestcase all work, the former 
two are also parallelized.

So, I propose we do the same thing for Lucene tests.
Solr was simple because it does not have these junit failed flag files.
I propose we just remove these, like how Solr does contrib.
Hudson hasn't failed in over a month by the way.

> I'd love to see a clean solution here (the tests are embarrassingly
> parallelizable, and we all have machines with good concurrency these
> days)... I have a rather hacked up solution now, that uses
> "-Dtestpackage=XXX" to split the tests up.
> Ideally I would be able to say "use N threads" and it'd do the right
> thing... like the -j flag to make.
