So although this works for our current tests (the FileOutputStream used in datafu.pig.linkanalysis.PageRank uses *File.createTempFile* instead of the working dir, so it's fine) I worry that this might not work in the future. Maybe add a comment about this in the *beforeClass* method?

The pigtests don't actually work that way (for eg: LOAD 'input'... searches for the file in the working directory and it apparently deciphers it to be the same as that of the jvm). Hence, this was the only possible way to solve the issue that I could think of.

Actually, as even the accepted answer says it does affect the subsequent file creations, which happens via a call to writeLinesToFile defined in the PigTests.java which always creates a new file, deleting the existing one if necessary, and then writes to it. Now since writeLinesToFile also implicitly uses FileOutputStream (via a FileWriter object) to write to files just created in the new user.dir, it seemed like changing the working directory did actually affect the FileOutPutStreams, atleast as far as our project goes it did. Moreover the afterMethod resets the user.dir so hopefully there aren't any consequences at all.

I think this is fine - after all, all existing tests pass. One more very minor comment - I think I'd just put the test in the main java/datafu/test dir - I don't think there's a need for a subdirectory for it.
