Isabel Drost-Fromm commented on MAHOUT-1356:
--------------------------------------------

Currently all unit tests seem fine when run in parallel mode - no more 
directory or naming clashes. In order to stop random test failures in the 
future I would like to see tests fail fast in case they write to some 
system-global directory - even if that is called /tmp.

One thing to look into in the long run: Configure our surefire to complain when 
tests mis-behave and store data outside of maven's target directories. Some 
related documentation and examples so I don't forget it when closing the 
browser window:

https://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/commons/proper/lang/trunk/src/test/resources/java.policy

http://maven.apache.org/surefire/maven-surefire-plugin/examples/junit.html


First (still failing) try attached soon.
