Christopher Tubbs commented on ACCUMULO-3036:
---------------------------------------------

This issue was marked as a blocker, but 1.5.2 was released without including it, so clearly, it's not a blocker.

> Over in Pig land, a user was complaining about a test which used MiniAccumuloCluster that hung until the JUnit timeout was hit.
> Eventually, the problem was diagnosed as a bad classpath (old version of Thrift was included and used), which was causing the TServer and Master to immediately bail out. However, the client sat indefinitely trying to connect unsuccessfully.
> MAC#start should not return before we're sure that the processes are actually up and running (a very quick smoke test).
> It looks like ACCUMULO-1537 introduced a call to SetGoalState on the Master before MAC#start returned which would (I assume) fail and then throw a RTE if the Master decided to die. Including this fix in 1.5 may be sufficient to fix the underlying issue the user was seeing.
