The current HBase stuff segregates untrusted tests by looking through nightly 
test runs to find things that fail intermittently. We then don't include those 
tests in either nightly or precommit tests. We have a different job that just 
runs the untrusted tests and if they start passing removes them from the list.

There's also a project getting used by SOLR called "BeastIT" that goes through 
running parallel copies of a given test a large number of times to reveal flaky 
tests.

Getting either/both of those into Yetus and used here would be a huge 
improvement.
