Allen Wittenauer commented on HADOOP-11022:
-------------------------------------------
The basic problem is the export of HADOOP_ENV_PROCESSED. This is used to
prevent hadoop-env.sh from being re-read. This protection makes sense if you
have, e.g., FOO_OPT="${FOO_OPTS} blah" in this file. But with the curren state
of the world, there's quite a few things going wrong here:
1. We don't protect the other *-env.sh files like we do hadoop-env.sh. i.e.,
yarn-env.sh will still get re-read multiple times.
2. This only works correctly because the vars in hadoop-env.sh are also
exported.... which is probably the wrong thing to do as well.
3. Now that there are more than just vars in *-env.sh, the system really does
need to re-read *-env.sh to pick those up.
Some potential solutions worth exploring:
* What happens if we no longer export anything in *-env.sh and re-read them at
every command run like we do with the other files? (This brings Hadoop in line
with most other OS utilities.) One side effect: users upgrading to trunk would
need to also remove the export lines as part of upgrading.
* If we protect all the *-env.sh and move user defined functions to a new file?
This has a lot of potential! One big problem is what to do about YARN_OPTS.

> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-11022
> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: scripts
> Affects Versions: 3.0.0
> Reporter: Allen Wittenauer
> Priority: Critical
>
> The code that protects hadoop-env.sh from being re-executed is also causing
> functions that the user replaced to get overridden with the defaults. This
> typically happens when running commands that nest, such as most of the
> content in sbin.
