nkeywal commented on HBASE-2675:
--------------------------------

'mvn test -P runSmallTests' runs about 400 tests out the the 1200 tests today, in about 3 minutes. Is this ok for you Benoit?

> It would be nice if there was a known subset of the tests that run fast (e.g. not more than a few seconds) and quickly help us check whether the code isn't horribly broken.  This way one could run those tests at a frequent interval when iterating and only run the entire testsuite at the end, when they think they're done, since doing so is very time consuming.
> Someone would need to identify which tests really focus on the core functionality and add a target in the build system to just run those tests.  As a bonus, it would be awesome++ if the core tests ran, say, 10x faster than they currently do.  There's a lot of "sleep"-based "synchronization" in the tests and it would be nice to remove some of that where possible to make the tests run as fast as the machine can handle them.
