[jira] Commented: (HADOOP-5916) Standardize fall-back value of
test.build.data for testing directories

Where Chris suggests to use /tmp as default. test.build.data should always be set to build/test/data by ant, shouldn't it?

> Currently when the test.build.data property is not set, as happens when run through some configurations of Eclipse, the fall-back value varies wildly. Most calls set to /tmp, which is not good as it is beyond the scope of the ant clean task and thus will not be deleted. Others default to "." which can drop the test files right in the current directory. Speaking with Konstanin, it seems the correct location should be "build/test/data" to ensure any files that are created are within the scope of Ant's clean command.
> Attached is the current variation in this setting.
