Description

The current setup in TestWALFactory tries to create custom WAL directory outside hdfs but ends up creating a custom WAL directory inside hdfs. In TestWALFactory.java:

public static void setUpBeforeClass() throws Exception {
    CommonFSUtils.setWALRootDir(TEST_UTIL.getConfiguration(), new Path("file:///tmp/wal")); // A local filesystem WAL is attempted
...
    hbaseDir = TEST_UTIL.createRootDir();
    hbaseWALDir = TEST_UTIL.createWALRootDir(); // But a directory inside hdfs is created here using HBaseTestingUtility#getNewDataTestDirOnTestFS
}

The change was made in HBASE-20723
