Hi Guys, I recently wrote a small generic utility that would do environment variable replacement within a Path. So, given a path such as:
/my/path/[ENV_VAR #1]/other/string/[ENV VAR #N]... And environment variables: $ENV_VAR #1...$ENV_VAR #N my utility would replace all environment variables within the Path string with the environment variables delimited by '[' and ']'. Would something like this be useful to Hadoop, and if so, where should it go? Path.java is a good candidate IMO. If you folks find this useful, let me know and I shall prepare a patch. Thanks! Cheers, Chris
