Harsh J commented on HADOOP-9450:
---------------------------------

bq. I can volunteer to test the patch on Windows. I'll comment again as soon as 
I get a chance to test.

Thanks Chris!

bq. There is a slight change in behavior in that HADOOP_CONF_DIR is no longer 
guaranteed to be first

Yes but this is iff the user has intentionally asked for his values to be 
first, which I think should not come as a surprise to them. If you feel 
strongly though, we could keep the older way around (but Windows lacked it too 
- we'd have to mutate that).

> On line 133 of the hadoop shell wrapper, CLASSPATH is set as:
> CLASSPATH=${CLASSPATH}:${HADOOP_CLASSPATH}
> Notice that the built-up CLASSPATH, along with all the libs and unwanted JARS 
> are pre-pended BEFORE the user's HADOOP_CLASSPATH.  Therefore there is no way 
> to put your own JARs in front of those that the hadoop wrapper script sets.
> We propose a patch that reverses this order.  Failing that, we would like to 
> add a command line option to override this behavior and enable a user's JARs 
> to be found before the wrong ones in the Hadoop library paths.
> We always welcome your opinions.
