HBaseClassTestRule applies a timeout and a system exit rule to tests. The timeout rule throws an exception if it hits the timeout threshold. Since the timeout rule is applied after the system exit rule, the system exit rule does not see the exception and does not re-enable the system exit behavior which can cause maven to hang on some tests. This change applies the timeout rule before the system exit rule so that normal system exit can be restored before the surefire forked node is shutdown. Signed-off-by: Duo Zhang <zhangduo@apache.org>
Apache HBase is an open-source, distributed, versioned, column-oriented store modeled after Google' Bigtable: A Distributed Storage System for Structured Data by Chang et al. Just as Bigtable leverages the distributed data storage provided by the Google File System, HBase provides Bigtable-like capabilities on top of Apache Hadoop.
