Andrey Klochkov commented on HADOOP-8755:
-----------------------------------------
Aaron, I'll do the 1st improvement in this JIRA as it's really simple.
Marking all the annotations with timeouts manually - agree, that's much simpler
and more transparent. The downside is polluting all the tests with it. In
general limiting true unit tests with timeouts isn't the right thing, and in
our case we're just doing this to troubleshoot flakiness of particular
component tests. How about not having timeouts by default and instead marking
just those tests which fail intermittently?
