Dustin Cote updated MAPREDUCE-6491:
-----------------------------------
Attachment: YARN-2369-10.patch
[~jlowe] I've found the culprit. I missed HADOOP_CLASSPATH in the default list
of what should be appendable. It turns out that HADOOP_CLASSPATH isn't used
for that test on trunk. I don't see any harm in having HADOOP_CLASSPATH in the
default list for trunk and branch-2 both since it is a classpath variable after
all. Patch 10 passes for me on branch-2 and trunk. Please let me know if you
see any snags. Thanks!

> When processing environment variables for a container context the code
> assumes that the value should be appended to any pre-existing value in the
> environment. This may be desired behavior for handling path-like environment
> variables such as PATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH, CLASSPATH, etc. but it is a
> non-intuitive and harmful way to handle any variable that does not have
> path-like semantics.
