Description

Mock Accumulo is used for our junit tests. There are users out there who would like to use it for testing applications built on top of Accumulo. This causes errors due to the way we set up classloading, etc. since we don't do any of the fancy behind-the-scenes magic for classpaths when mocking. We should tweak either the way the classloader works, or the way iteratorutils works, or how MockAccumulo is stood up to ensure whatever classloader is used is working transparently to the user.
