JobTracker may need to close its filesystem when being terminated
-----------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HADOOP-4218
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-4218
             Project: Hadoop Core
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: mapred
    Affects Versions: 0.19.0
            Reporter: Steve Loughran
            Priority: Minor


This is something I've been experimenting with HADOOP-3268; I'm not sure what 
the right action is here.

-currently, the JobTracker does not close() its filesystem when it is shut 
down. This will cause it to leak filesystem references if JobTrackers are 
started and stopped in the same process.

-The TestMRServerPorts test explicitly closes the filesystem
        jt.fs.close();
        jt.stopTracker();

-If you move the close() operation into the stopTracker()/terminate logic, the 
filesystem gets cleaned up, but 
TestRackAwareTaskPlacement and TestMultipleLevelCaching fail with a 
FilesystemClosed error (stack traces to follow)

Should the JobTracker close its filesystem whenever it is terminated? If so, 
there are some tests that need to be reworked slightly to not expect the 
fileystem to be live after the jobtracker is taken down.
