Konstantin Boudnik commented on MAPREDUCE-670:
----------------------------------------------

I've yet another conversation with Jacob wrt HDFS-458 and HDFS-505 and I'm 
going to agree with his approach: an external configuration file (i.e. test 
list) seems to provide a reasonable compromise between ease of use and 
maintenance headache. External test list file allows to make changes of a suite 
content without any actual source code modifications, which is a bonus for 
someone not familiar with Java language.

On the other hand, a separate JUnit test suite won't give us any extra benefits 
compare to a flat test file.

+1 on HDFS-458 approach.
