Jesse Yates commented on HBASE-14118:
-------------------------------------

Basic Cross version compat testing? So you could test a new version of HBase 
against the minicluster from the plugin in the last version. At least, that's 
all I can think of right now.

But still would dramatically help us in cutting down non-destructive, 
integration test times. For downstreamers, like Phoenix, they wouldn't need to 
spin up/down a minicluster for every test (which ends up being a majority of 
the time spent in the test).

It just seems like something the hbase project should own too :)

> In the [failsafe docs 
> |https://maven.apache.org/surefire/maven-failsafe-plugin/usage.html] they 
> describe being able to startup a jetty server before your integration tests 
> and then bring it down after the tests. We should be able to provide the same 
> for the mini-cluster for downstream projects and cross-version compatibility 
> testing.
> The folks over in Kiji made this great [plugin 
> |https://github.com/kijiproject/hbase-maven-plugin] that lets you do just 
> that! We should see about bringing that under the HBase umbrella proper.
