Description

DistributedFileSystem initializes the working directory to be new Path("/user", System.getProperty("user.name")); rather than new Path("/user", conf.get("user.name")); the initialization would have to be moved to the constructor to access conf.

If relative paths are used, the remote tasks and JobTracker will use the uid they are running with rather than the id of the user that submitted the job.
