Description

This was based on some discussion from HBASE-6234.

The ResourceChecker was added by N. Keywal to help resolve some hadoop qa issues, but has since not be widely utilized. Further, with modularization we have had to drop the ResourceChecker from the tests that are moved into the hbase-common module because bringing the ResourceChecker up to hbase-common would involved bringing all its dependencies (which are quite far reaching).

The question then is, what should we do with it? Get rid of it? Refactor and resuse?
