Description

Right now we have jvm-dtest that is a grab back of tests. Within these tests there are tests similar to org.apache.cassandra.fuzz.harry.integration.model.ConcurrentQuiescentCheckerIntegrationTest that take a very long time to run (14 minutes). This makes resource provisioning for these tests problematic as the distribution of run times are large (most takes seconds, some take 10+ minutes)…

For this reason we should create a new test kind “fuzz” that has 2 focuses: long run times, and randomized inputs.

With this new test kind we will be able to create a new job with its own resource needs (parallel workers) focused on long running tests only.

Another view point is that we really only care about long running tests, so “burn” kind already covers this… so we could drop the “randomized inputs” requirement and place these tests in “burn” instead
