I can't offer any insight on the first, but I encountered the same issues as you in the second.
In the end there wasn't anyway to bring a HBase instance up I felt was fast enough to be useful
in tests.
I went with mock objects, which is probably better anyway since you shouldn't really need
to test the HBase code in your unit tests.
I mocked HTable in my tests and just made sure I was putting what I expected for writes and
returned what I expected HBase to return for reads.
