[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-709?page=comments#action_12448922 ] dhruba borthakur commented on HADOOP-709: -----------------------------------------
Another sun issue: http://bugs.sun.com/bugdatabase/view_bug.do?bug_id=6371411 Our streaming code creates an XML file for the job. This file as an entry of the form: <property><name>stream.map.streamprocessor</name><value>/bin/sort -t''</value></property> One option would be that user-input be encoded in Base64 before being XML-ised. This is necessary to support non-ascii user-input. > streaming job with Control characters in the command causes runtime exception > in the job tracker > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: HADOOP-709 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-709 > Project: Hadoop > Issue Type: Bug > Components: contrib/streaming > Reporter: dhruba borthakur > Assigned To: dhruba borthakur > > I run a streaming job with a Ctrl-A character in the command line option as > follows: > $HSTREAMING -mapper "/bin/sort -t'^A'" -input "input/*" -output output > It causes a exeception as listed below.
