Description

As mentioned by http://search-hadoop.com/m/r2Ab624ES3e and http://search-hadoop.com/m/cZjDH1ykGIA it would be nice if we could have a script that would handle more of the finer points of running/checking our test suite.

This script should:
(1) Allow people to determine which tests are hanging/taking a long time to run
(2) Allow rerunning of particular tests to make sure it wasn't an artifact of running the whole suite that caused the failure
(3) Allow people to specify to run just unit tests or also integration tests (essentially wrapping calls to 'maven test' and 'maven verify').

This script should just be a convenience script - running tests directly from maven should not be impacted.
