Dan -could you have some tests which write to file:// in hadoop-common? They'd be precommit, and any hdfs-ones would be for verifying hdfs compatibility (if you really need that final check). If you do it right, you could have common test code in hadoop-common-test, which hadoop-hdfs-test could reuse
