> I did some work under ACCUMULO-1599 to split up the existing integration tests that use MiniAccumuloCluster into two separate groups for testing: those integration tests that require custom configuration and need intimate knowledge and control of MiniAccumuloCluster, and those that don't.
> Those that do, were configured to use ConfigurableMacIT, and those that don't were configured to use SimpleMacIT.
> The intention was that any test that did not need to control MiniAccumuloCluster itself, and only used the regular Accumulo API for executing its tests, could use a shared instance, represented by SimpleMacIT. Ideally, we would start this shared instance during the pre-integration-test phase of the build lifecycle, and leave it running until the post-integration-test. If this instance was not already running, a JVM-local one could be instantiated for the test to run (eg. inside Eclipse).
> An additional benefit is that we could easily transition these tests, through a single, centralized configuration option, to run against a full instance (not MiniAccumuloCluster).
> However, something changed, and some commits against ACCUMULO-1009 reintroduced some of the complexity and exposed too much through SimpleMacIT.
> We need to document the intention and clean up this class to be simple again (with no knowledge of MiniAccumuloCluster underneath).
