[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-673?page=comments#action_12455833 ] Andrzej Bialecki commented on HADOOP-673: ------------------------------------------
One note re: Cygwin - I discovered that you can't access special filesystems provided by Cygwin, such as /proc, /tmp, mountpoints (/cygdrive/c) etc. exactly because the filesystem layer is implemented in JVM and is unaware of Cygwin, its path translations and its synthetic filesystems ... So, when I tried to resolve "/proc/self", which is a symbolic link to the current PID under Cygwin, I got nothing because this path is inside Cygwin's "procfs", which invisible to JVM. > the task execution environment should have a current working directory that > is task specific > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-673 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-673 > Project: Hadoop > Issue Type: Bug > Components: mapred > Affects Versions: 0.7.2 > Reporter: Owen O'Malley > Assigned To: Mahadev konar > Attachments: cwd.patch > > > The tasks should be run in a work directory that is specific to a single > task.
