Sean Busbey updated HBASE-11731:
--------------------------------

    Attachment: HBASE-11731.patch

Here's an implementation that allows matching the RUnit test cases (which should correspond to the names of test classes.

It turns out RUnit had a (somewhat non-obvious) way to do this already, so I just hooked into that. One downside is that we have to use ruby-style regex literals to do the wildcard matching.

Since this might be surprising, I added text to the book's dev section on testing.

> Right now, contributors to the shell can limit testing to just the shell tests but there's no way to limit to just a subset of them.
> It would be nice if I could just run the test for the thing I'm changing.
