/**
 * Starts an on-demand mini cluster that requires no set up.
 *
 * <p>It can be useful if you don't want to restart the cluster between each run of test and don't
 * want to set up a real cluster.
 *
 * <p>CLASSPATH needs to contain: pig.jar and piggybank.jar
 * <pre>
 * export CLASSPATH=/path/pig.jar:/path/piggybank.jar
 * java org.apache.pig.pigunit.MiniClusterRunner
 * </pre>
 *
 * <p>Possible improvements
 * <ul>
 *   <li>add a main in MiniCluster</li>
 *   <li>make MiniCluster configurable (number of maps...)</li>
 *   <li>make MiniCluster use a default properties for chosing the hadoop conf dir
 *       (e.g. minicluster.conf.dir) instead of always using
 *       System.getProperty("user.home"), "pigtest/conf/"</li>
 *   <li>use CLI option</li>
 *   <li>make a shell wrapper</li>
 * </ul>
