Description

via code analysis-
VFS_CLASSLOADER_CACHE_DIR's key is defined in AccumnuloVFSClassLoader. However, it explicitly declares it's value in the same format as it's created, rather then using a String defined in AccumuloVFSClassloader as well. This could lead to schisming.

But more importantly, AccumuloVFSClassloaders builds that path by extracting system properties to build the path. If a user declares the default value ($java.io.tmpdir/accumulo-cfs-cache-${user.name}), it will not work as intended. I'm fairly certain if I put that value in my accumulo-site, it won't get broken down in the same way. Default values should behave the same way as both the default value and being declared in the site.xml
