Automatic would be nice, but as there are so many causes of build breakages right now, we can't even think of that. > As a side effect, stabilizing the tests would make it feasible to enable > parallel execution of tests for faster pre-commit.

Bringing an HDFS run down to 45 min from 2.5 hours would be a great achievement. How about applying some of the source test file patches right now, so that the actual patch to turn on parallel test runs would be less?
