maven surefire-plugin is skipping tests

Recently in our hadoop project, we added maven-surefire-plugin for running unit tests by categories. Related blocks in hadoop root pom.xml file as below:

<plugin>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.plugins</groupId>
<artifactId>maven-surefire-plugin</artifactId>
<version>2.21.0</version>
<configuration>
<groups>${test.groups}</groups>
</configuration>
<dependencies>
<dependency>
<groupId>org.apache.maven.surefire</groupId>
<artifactId>surefire-junit47</artifactId>
<version>2.21.0</version>
</dependency>
</dependencies>
</plugin>

<profile>
<id>flakies</id>
<properties>
<test.groups>org.apache.hadoop.classification.TestJUnitCategory$FlakiesTest</test.groups>
</properties>
</profile>
<profile>
<id>stables</id>
<properties>
<test.groups>org.apache.hadoop.classification.TestJUnitCategory$StablesTest</test.groups>
</properties>
</profile>
<profile>
<id>integrations</id>
<properties>
<test.groups>org.apache.hadoop.classification.TestJUnitCategory$IntegrationsTest</test.groups>
</properties>
</profile>
<profile>
<id>none</id>
<properties>
<test.groups>!org.apache.hadoop.classification.TestJUnitCategory$AllTest</test.groups>
</properties>
</profile>


Invoking tests by category works fine: mvn -P integrations.
However, our old fashioned unit test execution got skipped by this maven-surefire-plugin:

I also verified that by removing surefire-plugin block in root pom.xml file will make these tests executing again as usual. So I have some questions here:

Why tests were skipped in this case?

I saw the reported surefire-plugin version was 2.20 while I was defining 2.21 in my change. I assume this is because it gets overwritten by the parent pom. So how do I make it use my customized version?

Is the version 2.21 the right version for this? I saw some post indicated version 2.21 might have some bug?

Many thanks,
