John Gordon commented on MAPREDUCE-4368:
----------------------------------------
Actually, Bikas is right. We can't address user specified java.library.path --
only the java property we look up. The reason is that the user path is
incomplete in the combination (quote + space) case. If we want to handle the
user case, we have to either fix the parser or remove quotes across the board
in the javaOptsSplit array, otherwise we will remove only the first quote and
leave the second one dangling, which would leave a mismatched quote in the
eventual command. Bringing the patch back to the system.getProperty scope.

> Key: MAPREDUCE-4368
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-4368
> Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: tasktracker
> Affects Versions: 1-win
> Environment: on Windows:
> set PATH=%PATH%;"C:\this memorable place".
> Reporter: John Gordon
> Labels: newbie, patch
> Attachments: TaskRunner.patch

> Original Estimate: 24h
> Remaining Estimate: 24h

> TaskRunner splits arguments by space before it adds them back to the vargs
> list, so it loses all context of quote escaped strings with embedded spaces.
> This gets fixed up later by wrapping all arguments with " -- so you get
> something like java "-D<opt>=<value>". This is problematic for paths with
> embedded spaces, where we end up creating "-D<opt>=<first part" "last part>".
> To java, the jar being run is last part. So with the environment above, you
> will see "ClassNoDefFoundError: memorable" and the jar will fail to start.
> In this particular case, we know that java.libarary.path contains paths and
> the tests often use %PATH% to seed this, so the fix is to remove embedded
> quotes in listed path elements because we know the aggregate will be quoted
> when the JVM is started.
