I'm not opposed to switching them. IIRC the the "using" clause is
ignored in local mode, so tests for joins, cogroup, etc. that have
"using" should not be switched. I want to discuss further how to fix
this at the developer meeting next week. The current setup is a total
mess.

There are quite a few tests in the suite that use

dramatic -- when I switched HBaseStorage tests, they went from
roughly 50
seconds each to roughly 12 seconds each. The only tests for which (I
think)
we need the full MAPREDUCE exec mode is when we are messing with
classpaths,
need to ensure new jvms pick up the right classes, etc. Objections to
switching these tests over? Suggestions on what to watch out for?
