> LocalDirAllocator.ifExists calls AllocatorPerContext.ifExists, which accesses
> the localDirsPath variable that is uninitialised. Hence, any code that uses
> this API is likely to fail with a NullPointerException.
> However, this API is currently not used anywhere else in trunk. The earlier
> usage was in IsolationRunner, that has since been removed via MAPREDUCE-2606.
> Hence, we could remove this API for trunk, and if required, fix it for the
> 1.x branch.
