Doug Meil commented on HBASE-4448:
----------------------------------

The exposure of not stopping the miniclusters exists now.  You need to explicitly stop it, so it's not really any different this way.  System property works for me.

> Setting up and tearing down HBaseTestingUtility instances in unit tests is very expensive.  On my MacBook it takes about 10 seconds to set up a MiniCluster, and 7 seconds to tear it down.  When multiplied by the number of test classes that use this facility, that's a lot of time in the build.
> This factory assumes that the JVM is being re-used across test classes in the build, otherwise this pattern won't work. 
> I don't think this is appropriate for every use, but I think it can be applicable in a great many cases - especially where developers just want a simple MiniCluster with 1 slave.
