> 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.
