I guess you need a separated MAPREDUCE patch for MiniMR.

 Exposing MiniDFS and MiniMR clusters as a single process command-line

 Key: HDFS-621
 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-621
 Project: Hadoop HDFS
  Issue Type: New Feature
  Components: test, tools
Reporter: Philip Zeyliger
Priority: Minor

 It's hard to test non-Java programs that rely on significant mapreduce 
 functionality.  The patch I'm proposing shortly will let you just type 
 bin/hadoop jar hadoop-hdfs-hdfswithmr-test.jar minicluster to start a 
 cluster (internally, it's using Mini{MR,HDFS}Cluster) with a specified number 
 of daemons, etc.  A test that checks how some external process interacts with 
 Hadoop might start minicluster as a subprocess, run through its thing, and 
 then simply kill the java subprocess.
 I've been using just such a system for a couple of weeks, and I like it.  
 It's significantly easier than developing a lot of scripts to start a 
 pseudo-distributed cluster, and then clean up after it.  I figure others 
 might find it useful as well.
 I'm at a bit of a loss as to where to put it in 0.21.  hdfs-with-mr tests 
 have all the required libraries, so I've put it there.  I could conceivably 
 split this into minimr and minihdfs, but it's specifically the fact that 
 they're configured to talk to each other that I like about having them 
 together.  And one JVM is better than two for my test programs.

 If you would, take a quick look to see how I use MiniMRCluster. Do you feel 
 I'm abusing the fact that hdfs-hdfswithmr-test exists?

No more mapreduce codes in hdfs, please.  Having hdfs-with-mr in hdfs is a 
mistake.  It leads to a circular dependence.  Indeed, we should move 
hdfs-with-mr to mapreduce.
