Description

On Windows, HiveConf setting hive.exec.scratchdir is changed to remove the drive letter (i.e. "c:") from the start of its path. However, in HadoopShims23, MiniMrShim.setupConfiguration() subsequently overwrites the HiveConf settings and the drive letter is added back to hive.exec.scratchdir, causing path issues in the MiniMR tests.
