Hi, AFAIK, the mapred.local.dir property refers to a set of directories under which different types of data related to mapreduce jobs are stored - for e.g. intermediate data, localized files for a job etc. The working directory for a mapreduce job is configured under a sub directory within one of the directories configured in this property.
The workingDir property of the FileSystem class simply seems to indicate the working directory for a given filesystem as set by applications. They don't seem very related per se, unless I am missing something ?
