[jira] Created: (MAPREDUCE-959) JobConf::setWorkingDirectory requires that the default FileSystem is reachable

JobConf::setWorkingDirectory requires that the default FileSystem is reachable
------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: MAPREDUCE-959
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-959
             Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: client, test
            Reporter: Chris Douglas
            Priority: Minor


If mapred.working.dir is not set, JobConf::setWorkingDirectory will attempt to obtain the default working directory for the default FileSystem. In trunk at least, if the default fs is HDFS and not reachable, set will fail:
