Move MiniDFS out of test JAR and into the main hadoop-hdfs JAR
--------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HDFS-2415
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-2415
             Project: Hadoop HDFS
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: test
            Reporter: Steve Loughran
            Priority: Minor


This is just an idea: move the MiniDFS cluster out of the Hadoop test JAR and into the main redistributable.

This would make it easier for people downstream to use it. It is the easiest way to bring up a DFS cluster in a single JVM, and with the MiniMR cluster is a common way to test MR jobs in the IDE against small datasets. 

Moving the file while keeping the package name should not cause any problems; all it will do is make applying outstanding patches to it slightly harder.
