-----------------------------------

             Summary: DurabilityIT.testWriteSpeed can fail on slow hardware
                 Key: ACCUMULO-4343
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ACCUMULO-4343
             Project: Accumulo
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: test
    Affects Versions: 1.7.1
            Reporter: Mike Drob
            Assignee: Mike Drob
             Fix For: 1.7.2, 1.8.0


When running the ITs, I will sometimes (~30%) get a failure that looks 
something like

{noformat}
java.lang.AssertionError: log should be faster than flush
        at org.junit.Assert.fail(Assert.java:88)
        at org.junit.Assert.assertTrue(Assert.java:41)
        at 
org.apache.accumulo.test.functional.DurabilityIT.testWriteSpeed(DurabilityIT.java:103)

{noformat}

I think this is a result of my hardware being oversubscribed, or just generally 
not running on a beefy enough machine.

Instead of comparing medians, maybe we could compare mins, medians, and maxs, 
and assert that at least two of the three are ordered? I don't want to play too 
many funny games with the statistics here, but I also don't want the test to 
fail due to my specific hardware limitations.
