---------------------------------------------------------

Update the patch.
1. Should delete tmp files in MiniCluster mode, invoke this method : FileLocalizer.deleteTempFiles();
2. Change the TestCase to include the Jira number, so it's easy for developers to track the issue

> When an UDF returns a map and the outputSchema method is not overridden, Pig does not figure out the data type. As a result, the type is set to unknown resulting in run time failure. An example script and UDF follow
> {code}
> public class mapUDF extends EvalFunc<Map<Object, Object>> {
>     @Override
>     public Map<Object, Object> exec(Tuple input) throws IOException {
>             return new HashMap<Object, Object>();
>     }
> //Note that the outputSchema method is commented out

>     public Schema outputSchema(Schema input) {
>         try {
>             return new Schema(new Schema.FieldSchema(null, null, DataType.MAP));
>         } catch (FrontendException e) {
>             return null;
