Mock HTableInterface

[hongbin ma <ma...@apache.org>]

hi, experts

i'm looking for some mock for HTableInterface for my unit tests.
I googled and found it can be done by mockito or minicluster.
However, I'm looking for some HTableInterface mock that persist my data(for
a little while before it is used), i'm not sure if mockito will do it.
For minicluster approach, it is obviously too heavy for my unit tests.

I know there used to be some implementations like:
https://gist.github.com/agaoglu/613217, but seems outdated.

https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-10894 seems pointing to the
same problem as mine.

One possibility is fake-hbase from the guys working on kiji:
https://github.com/kijiproject/fake-hbase

Alternatively, HTableInterface is just that, an interface. You can put
whatever implementation you want behind it. We have many implementations of
HTableInterface for a variety of use cases. At one time we had one that
backs everything by a series of maps, for testing. We've moved away from
that in favor of fake-hbase though.

Finally, mockito does work like you said, in that way you can specialize
each mocked table on a per-test basis
