This actually would be useful to have; for example, tests that use MiniMRCluster will write to {{build/test/mapred/local/jobTracker}}, and it would be nice if we could override this.

> The {{mapred.local.dir}} configuration property for the {{MiniMRCluster}} is forced to {{build/test/mapred/local}}
> This is inconvenient in different situations. For example:
> * When running multiple tests using {{MiniMRCluster}} is not possible to see the end state of the dir for a particular test
> * When using {{MiniMRCluster}} in another build system (i.e. Maven) that uses a different output directory (target instead build)
