Description

The mapred.local.dir configuration property for the MiniMRCluster is forced to build/test/mapred/local

This is inconvenient in different situations. For example:

• When running multiple tests using MiniMRCluster is not possible to see the end state of the dir for a particular test
• When using MiniMRCluster in another build system (i.e. Maven) that uses a different output directory (target instead build)
