Enis Soztutar commented on MAPREDUCE-5087:
------------------------------------------
+1, shipping dependent jars is a core functionality for MR jobs, but other than
Job.setJarByClass() Hadoop does not provide any utils for finding jars from the
classpath. Every application has to do the uber-jar kind of approach, or write
their own tool, or copy the code from Hadoop (which HBase did apparently).
> Hadoop should expose Jar location utilities on its public API

> The facilities behind JobConf#setJarByClass and the JarFinder utility in test
> are both generally useful. As the core platform, these should be published as
> part of the public API. In addition to HBase, they are probably useful for
> Pig and Hive as well. See also HBASE-2588, HBASE-5317, HBASE-8140.
