Use absolute path for JobTracker's mapred.local.dir in MiniMRCluster
--------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HADOOP-5828
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-5828
Project: Hadoop Core
Issue Type: Bug
Components: test
Reporter: Hemanth Yamijala
Assignee: Hemanth Yamijala
MiniMRCluster's JobTracker sets the mapred.local.dir to a relative path:
"build/test/mapred/local". While currently this does not cause any problem, if
at some time in future, the JobTracker starts using LocalDirAllocator for
localizing files, this could cause failures in contrib tests. This issue was
faced when working with an internal patch that tried to introduce
LocalDirAllocator into the JobTracker, and capacity scheduler test cases
started failing.
