Keith Turner commented on ACCUMULO-1409:
----------------------------------------

bq. the only way I can guarantee the integration tests don't time out is if I 
enable the native maps with "-P native".

Interesting, I wonder if this is because JavaGC is avoided and/or the native 
maps are faster at sorting.  

So native map support has recently been added to MAC.   I have taken a quick 
look at the code, but not recently.  It seems like native maps can be used when 
Accumulo itself uses MAC.  However what about the case where an end user uses 
MAC?  Can this be supported?  It seems like supporting this would require 
putting jars maven repos that contain the shared libs.

> If a user sets up a single node accumulo instance and uses it for testing, 
> then w/o native maps the performance will not be as good as it could.  I did 
> some testing of the new GC in java 7, along the way I noticed a significant 
> difference between the native map and java map.
