(New to this list) Hi,
My research group is setting up a small (20-node) cluster. All of these machines are linked by NFS. We have a fairly entrenched codebase/development cycle, and in particular we'd like to be able to access user $CLASSPATHs in the forked jvms run by the Map and Reduce tasks. However, TaskRunner.java (http://tinyurl.com/4enkg4) seems to disallow this by specifying it's own. Is there any easy way to "trick" hadoop into making these visible? If not, if I were to submit a patch that would (optionally) add $CLASSPATH to the forked jvms' classpath, would it be considered? Thanks, David Hall
