   From what I've seen, many of the timeouts are related to:
   - Resources that aren't shutdown appropriately, leaving background threads 
that aren't daemon threads
   - Interactions between tests when run concurrently, where the tests operate 
using the same space
   
   This fix is focussed on both issues, as it uses a `TemporaryFolder` to avoid 
sharing space between tests and ensures that the cluster and its resources are 
always shutdown.  I'd hope that we would expand this to the remaining uses of 
the mini clusters.  Originally I had proposed new calls that actually took a 
`TemporaryFolder` as a parameter, thinking we'd eventually phase out the 
`File`-based calls and drop them entirely to ensure consistency.
   
   In addition, I've been submitting PRs that address some of the threading 
issues (e.g. [HDFS-16904](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-16904) and 
[HADOOP-18279](https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-18279).
