Once you have an instrumented cluster you can run some end-to-end tests (TeraSort has been suggested and it would do fine). The tricky part is to assemble all moving parts of the Hadoop cluster together from three different projects (if you are on .21+ branch) and will be a way easier for 0.20.+ based versions.
However, one fine point here is that your faults (implemented as aspects) should be triggered some how. You can do it logically (say every 3rd attempt to get new block) or via environment, or from the test application. The latter might be a most tricky part because you'll have to essentially communicate between different JVM processes perhaps located on different physical hosts if you're running in a real cluster environment. To address these issues we have project Herriot which is based on byte code injection (read aspectj) and allows for distributed fault injections in a real cluster. System test framework adds a few APIs to the Hadoop daemons and allow to call them via standard Hadoop RPC. You can find framework sources and tests code in src/aop/system. There's a separate set of build targets which will help you instrument everything you need (jar-test-system should do). More info is here http://is.gd/SBkjrC One last point: Herriot isn't fully integrated in trunk's maven build as of today.
