Philip Zeyliger commented on HADOOP-5916:
-----------------------------------------
There are quite a few parameters like this one that need sensible defaults for
tests to run in Eclipse. HADOOP-5911 has the Eclipse configurations I use to
start daemons, and the AllTests target runs a lot (but not all) of the tests.
I'm +1 standardizing on test.build.data, but I suspect that once you whack that
mole, another one will just spring up.

> Standardize fall-back value of test.build.data for testing directories

> Key: HADOOP-5916
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-5916
> Project: Hadoop Core
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: test
> Reporter: Jakob Homan
> Attachments: test.build.data.txt

>
> Currently when the test.build.data property is not set, as happens when run
> through some configurations of Eclipse, the fall-back value varies wildly.
> Most calls set to /tmp, which is not good as it is beyond the scope of the
> ant clean task and thus will not be deleted. Others default to "." which can
> drop the test files right in the current directory. Speaking with Konstanin,
> it seems the correct location should be "build/test/data" to ensure any files
> that are created are within the scope of Ant's clean command.
> Attached is the current variation in this setting.
