Description

For example, in https://builds.apache.org/job/HBase-0.98/794:

Running org.apache.hadoop.hbase.security.access.TestCellACLs
Running org.apache.hadoop.hbase.security.access.TestAccessController
Killed
Killed

Watching the surefire forked runner for each of these, TestAccessController at peak uses 321 threads and 675MB of heap, and TestCellACls uses 227 threads and 557MB of heap. I couldn't figure out how to launch both in the same JVM (this was the case on Jenkins). The surefire runner might have been killed by the OOMKiller or a segfault.

We've already started breaking out access controller tests from TestAccessController to TestAccessController2. Could do more of this.

I'll keep this issue open for a while to track.
