             Summary: Allow overrides of Surefire secondPartForkMode and testFailureIgnore
                 Key: HBASE-10570
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-10570
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Andrew Purtell
            Assignee: Andrew Purtell
            Priority: Minor
             Fix For: 0.96.2, 0.98.1, 0.99.0


It can be useful to override the fork and ignore behavior of our Surefire unit testing machinery. 

For example, this will put only one test into each generated surefire jar and always fork a child JVM to run it:

{noformat}
mvn test ... -Dsurefire.firstPartForkMode=always -Dsurefire.secondPartForkMode=always
{noformat}

Useful for isolating test failures and finding zombies.

Sometimes it is also useful to ignore test failures:

{noformat}
mvn test ... -Dsurefire.testFailureIgnore=true
{noformat}

This will let test suite execution continue even if a test times out. Maven has CLI options for this sort of thing but they don't always work as expected.
