> Recently I'm working on flaky test cases and found we have many places using 
> while loop and sleep to wait for a condition to be true. There are several 
> issues in existing ways:
> 1) Many similar code doing the same thing
> 2) When time out happens, different errors are reported without explicitly 
> indicating a time out situation
> 3) When we want to increase the max timeout value to verify if a test case 
> fails due to a not-enough time out value, we have to recompile & redeploy code
> I propose to create a waitForCondition function as a test utility function 
> like the following:
> {code}
>     public interface WaitCheck {
>         public boolean Check() ;
>     }
>     public boolean waitForCondition(int timeOutInMilliSeconds, int 
> checkIntervalInMilliSeconds, WaitCheck s)
>             throws InterruptedException {
>         int multiplier = 1;
>         String multiplierProp = System.getProperty("extremeWaitMultiplier");
>         if(multiplierProp != null) {
>             multiplier = Integer.parseInt(multiplierProp);
>             if(multiplier < 1) {
>                 LOG.warn(String.format("Invalid extremeWaitMultiplier 
> property value:%s. is ignored.", multiplierProp));
>                 multiplier = 1;
>             }
>         }
>         int timeElapsed = 0;
>         while(timeElapsed < timeOutInMilliSeconds * multiplier) {
>             if(s.Check()) {
>                 return true;
>             }
>             Thread.sleep(checkIntervalInMilliSeconds);
>             timeElapsed += checkIntervalInMilliSeconds;
>         }
>         assertTrue("WaitForCondition failed due to time out(" + 
> timeOutInMilliSeconds + " milliseconds expired)",
>                 false);
>         return false;
>     }
> {code}
> By doing the above way, there are several advantages:
> 1) Clearly report time out error when such situation happens
> 2) Use System property extremeWaitMultiplier to increase max time out 
> dynamically for a quick verification
> 3) Standardize current wait situations
> Pleas let me know what your thoughts on this.
