Description

Some of the testcases (HADOOP-8581, MAPREDUCE-4417) create core-site.xml files on the fly in test-classes, overriding the core-site.xml that is part of the test/resources.

Things fail/pass depending on the order testcases are run (which seems dependent on the platform/jvm you are using).
