Description

I just figured out why the tests started with

1. ant test

had errors. I found in the logfiles that MiniDFSCluster for example expects dfs data directories that are not group-writable! So doing

1. umask 0022 && ant test

makes the tests run again.

Alternatively on recent Ubuntu versions you can change USERGROUPS_ENAB in /etc/login.defs to "no"...

This should be noted somewhere in the docs.
