Description

Testcases TestHBaseInputFormatProjectionReadMR and TestHBaseTableProjectionReadMR use different Map class but check the same static variable. So if the order of the tests in which they are run changes, the testcase fails. I experienced this on RHEL 6.4 with JDK 7 and with no other combination. This succeeds currently on all build machines as the order of the tests are deterministic.
