Sanjay Radia commented on HADOOP-7284:
--------------------------------------
The reason I didn't do the config option is that the user will have to write
code to
determine what value to set based on the environment in which he runs. (I wrote
the config option code but then realized that it was not the right solution and
didn't want to make a new config parameter public and then be forced to pull it
out later.)
The $HOME may not work since the $HOME on my desktop is not the right one for
HDFS to which I am submitting the job. My admin has set up a viewfs config
that matches the
hdfs cluster in which my job will run. The $HOME of the submitting machine is
not
relevant.
This is a fairly subtle problem - I am not sure which solution is right
otherwise I would have put it in. The solution in this patch is: the
viewfilesystem impl
has a set of heuristics that make it work for some common conventions: /user
/Users, /home, /homes. It is an okay solution but clearner not general enough
to work in all environments. In the short term it will work till we figure out
a cleaner solution.
