Subclasses of ClusterMapReduceTestCase can't easily add new configuration parameters
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HADOOP-5164
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-5164
Project: Hadoop Core
Issue Type: Bug
Components: test
Reporter: George Porter
Currently there is not a clean way for subclasses of ClusterMapReduceTestCase to add to the
JobConf used to start the cluster daemons.
The startCluster() method does take a Properties object that is added to the JobConf used
to the start the daemons. However, startCluster() is called from JUnit inside the setUp()
method, which sets this parameter to be null.
If you try to override setUp() in a subclass of ClusterMapReduceTestCase, then you won't be
able to invoke the TestCase.setUp() ancestor without calling ClusterMapReduceTestCase's setUp()
(which will pass in the null parameter). On the other hand, if you just call startCluster()
within your test method, then you would be starting up a cluster that was already started.
