Description

mapreduce has a configuration property called "mapred.system.dir" which determines where in the DFS a jobtracker stores its data. Similarly, hbase has a configuration property called "hbase.rootdir" which does something very similar.

These should have the same name, eg. "hbase.system.dir" and "mapred.system.dir"
