Doug Cutting commented on HADOOP-5702:
--------------------------------------
> I think it's more intuitive for users to be able to use the normal CLASSPATH
> env var.
It's also more error prone. For example, I've seen application installers that
set CLASSPATH globally.
> hadoop-config.sh blows away CLASSPATH env

> The bin/hadoop-config.sh script blows away the user's CLASSPATH environment
> variable when setting up the hadoop-specific classpath. It's possible that
> this is intentional, but it would make developing contrib service plugins (eg
> HADOOP-4707) easier if hadoop-config appended rather than replaced CLASSPATH.
> Attaching trivial patch to change this behavior.
