Zac Hopkinson updated MAPREDUCE-6596:
-------------------------------------
    Description: 
Filenames containing commas or semicolons cause MultipleInputs to break since 
these characters are used for joining and storing the path names.

MultipleInputs stores mapreduce.input.multipleinputs.dir.formats as:

path;inputFormatClass,path2;inputFormatClass2[, ...]

If a filename contains one of the characters used for joining the data then 
getInputFormatMap and getMapperTypeMap will fail.

Looking at FileInputFormat.addInputPath() it uses escapeString and 
unescapeString from StringUtils. I took the same approach for escaping in 
MultipleInputs.
