Description
When we run hive/spark tests through the test framework, it will create some files in the root folder of the project such as
metastore_db/
derby.log
hdfs_cache/
Right now we add these to .gitignore to ignore them. We should consider setting appropriate configs so that these files are generated in tmp directories and not in the root directory.

Research direction
No files or tests are named. Reproduce the Hive/Spark test run and inspect the test framework’s runtime configuration to identify where metastore_db, derby.log, and hdfs_cache are created. Done means these artifacts are placed in temporary directories and no longer require root-level .gitignore entries.
