Duo Zhang commented on HBASE-24510:
-----------------------------------
What we provide for downstream users to write UT is HBTU, not these two classes.
IIRC the assumption is, the code under test directory are private by default,
unless we explicitly set to IA.Public, like HBTU. This is the consensus when
introducing the IA annotation I believe, as most of the classes under test do
not have IA annotations, it is not necessary. I'm fine with keeping these
classes on 2.x but we need to make sure that everyone know that, you should not
use non IA.Public classes under test.
> Remove HBaseTestCase and GenericTestUtils
