> 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.
