from test logs.
***Effective use of FS instances during S3A integration tests.*** Tests using
`FileSystem` instances are fastest if they can recycle the existing FS
instance from the same JVM.
If you do that, you MUST NOT close or do unique configuration on them.
If you want a guarantee of 100% isolation or an instance with unique config,
create a new instance which you MUST close in the teardown to avoid leakage
of resources.
Do NOT add `FileSystem` instances manually
(with e.g `org.apache.hadoop.fs.FileSystem#addFileSystemForTesting`) to the
cache that will be modified or closed during the test runs. This can cause
other tests to fail when using the same modified or closed FS instance.
For more details see HADOOP-15819.

This is what we expect from new tests; they're an extension of the normal
Hadoop requirements, based on the need to work with remote servers whose
use requires the presence of secret credentials, where tests may be slow,
