Christopher Tubbs commented on ACCUMULO-2721:
---------------------------------------------
I had made some attempt to use a shared instance that spun up in the
pre-integration-test phase, so each SimpleMacITs wouldn't start up their own
MAC, but it didn't work well with forking.
I see three classes of MAC-based ITs:
# Those that can reuse the same instance.
# Those that need their own because of potential interference, but don't need
special config (SimpleMacIT, currently).
# Those that need to customize their MAC to test for special circumstances
(ConfigurableMacIT).
What I wouldn't want to do, though, is just throw a bunch of tests into the
same class file, just to re-use the same instance. That makes it harder to
analyze and understand test coverage.

> Each SimpleMacIT class spins up its own MAC. Theoretically, many of them can
> share one, and make the tests run faster.
> We can look at using a {{Suite}} or {{ExternalResource}} or there's like a
> million ways to do this.
