Passing files and directory structures to the map reduce cluster via hadoop streaming?

[Guang-Nan Cheng]

I'm fancied about passing a whole ruby app to streaming, so I don't need to
bother with ruby file dependencies.

For example,

./streaming

...
-mapper 'ruby aaa/bbb/ccc'
-files  aaa      <--- pass the folder




Is this supported already? If not, any tips on how to make this work? I'm
willing to add some code by myself and rebuild the streaming jar.
