All this indentation makes me a bit sea sick. Can you use this instead:
```
from nose.plugins.skip import SkipTest
...
@attr(integration='hbase')  # for nosetests
class TestIntegrationHBaseCrashData(unittest.TestCase):
    def setUp(self):
        if not _run_integration_tests:
           raise SkipTest("Skipping HBase integration tests")
        ...
```

Note, that this won't run the `tearDown()` if the `setUp()` raised a `SkipTest`. ...which is a good thing.
