> There's a few reasons to break tests out into their own module:
> 1. Allowing maven users to easily re-consume test utilities as part of a
> "test" package which doesn't pollute the runtime classpath
> 2. Putting integration tests (tests that create or require a cluster) in
> their own module allows users to easily rebuild and test the core of HBase
> without running long-running tests, reducing the developer iteration loop
> After some discussions with Stack on IRC, it sounds like there was some
> historic investigation of this which was abandoned because the module system
> was becoming too complex. I'd suggest that rather than trying to break out
> components all at once into their modules, evaluate creation of modules on a
> case-by-case basis and only create them when there's a significant use case
> justification.
> I created a sample of what I'm thinking about (based on the current trunk)
> and posted it on github
> git://github.com/ekohlwey/modularized-hbase.git
