Hi,

AFAIK, the characteristic of the parameter mapred.system.dir is not conducive 
to be modified per job.It must be modified on mapred-default.xml, 
conf/mapred-site.xml.
So why local, I don't recall passing it on non-local mode either, and if passed 
I don't think it should work, as its final.
The parameters passed on command line usually pertain to the job 
performance/memory needs of the specific job.Makes sense?

Thanks & Regards,
/Rekha.
