Josh Elser commented on ACCUMULO-4525:
--------------------------------------

bq. Tests are a good place to learn how a class works and choosing brevity over 
clarity greater hinders the readability of a Test.

+1, well said.

> Replace meaningless method names

>
> There are a few abbreviated method names reused throughout the code that are 
> meaningless to new users. Method names such as "nk", "nf" or "ane" are not 
> helpful when trying to determine how a class works. This seems to only occur 
> in Tests but I think it would improve readability a lot, especially for 
> newbies. I for one think Tests are a good place to learn how a class works 
> and choosing brevity over clarity greater hinders the readability of a Test.
