All sounds good to me.  I'm up for committing hbase-4847, amending
jenkins  build, and adding the below as doc into the hbase book.
I'll wait a day or two more in case more input.

One thing I don't follow is 'keep/have the notion of integration
test'.  How would that amend the above?  Is it that verify has been
coopted to "...execute small tests in a single JVM then medium tests
in a separate JVM for each test, then large tests in a separate JVM as
well."?  And we'd need to undo this so verify was still available to
do Integration tests? (Integration tests are tests that are named
IntegrationTest* and run for a long time)?

Good stuff lads,
