Eli Collins commented on HADOOP-5916:
-------------------------------------
I think the issue here is whether the path is absolute. Is there a way to have
$PROJ_HOME/build/test/data so the default value is an absolute path? Leaving it
just build/test/data means eg in TestLocalFSFileContextMainOperations it tries
to use /user/eli/build/test/data which doesn't make sense since it's a local fs.
> Standardize fall-back value of test.build.data for testing directories

> Currently when the test.build.data property is not set, as happens when run
> through some configurations of Eclipse, the fall-back value varies wildly.
> Most calls set to /tmp, which is not good as it is beyond the scope of the
> ant clean task and thus will not be deleted. Others default to "." which can
> drop the test files right in the current directory. Speaking with Konstanin,
> it seems the correct location should be "build/test/data" to ensure any files
> that are created are within the scope of Ant's clean command.
> Attached is the current variation in this setting.
