Hong Tang commented on MAPREDUCE-839:
-------------------------------------

bq.  I'd be happier driving this from JVM properties than env variables, as its 
easier to set up JVM properties under a debugger or from build.properties.
The reason I choose to inspect env variables TEMP and TMP is because if they 
are set, we should try to honor those locations. But I am fine to support using 
JVM properties (in case altering the global TMP/TEMP would affect other test 
cases).

bq. Assuming <junit> is forking, you can set up env variables to pass down
Not quite clear what you mean, do you suggest to test whether the 
aforementioned properties are set, and if so, set env variables TEMP and TMP to 
those values?
