Andres de la Peña updated CASSANDRA-18017:
------------------------------------------
    Description: 
CASSANDRA-16625 and CASSANDRA-18000 added a {{-Dno-build-test=true}} flag to 
skip the dependencies of the Ant test targets. This is useful to speed up the 
test targets if the {{build-test}} target has already been previously run, for 
example as part of {{{}ant jar{}}}.

That was created thinking mainly on CircleCI's multiplexer, where we run the 
same test target repeatedly. Skipping the already run depended on targets can 
significantly speed up the tests. The flag however is also useful for all other 
test jobs because every parallel runner can skip the test building step, and we 
have hundreds of parallel runners. Saving around 30s on every runner adds up 
considerable savings.

Maybe this flag can also be used for skipping test builds on Jenkins too, so 
each parallel test split can benefit from a slight boost. That could be done if 
either {{build-test}} or {{jar}} have already been run before calling the test 
target. I'm not familiarized with Jenkins config so I'm not sure whether it 
makes sense.
