Jason Lowe commented on MAPREDUCE-6491:
---------------------------------------

Thanks for the review, Allen!

bq. DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH should be in the list

Ah, good catch.  Should it also include other dynamic linker related variables 
like the following?
DYLD_FALLBACK_LIBRARY_PATH
DYLD_VERSIONED_LIBRARY_PATH
DYLD_FRAMEWORK_PATH
DYLD_FALLBACK_FRAMEWORK_PATH
DYLD_VERSIONED_FRAMEWORK_PATH
LD_RUN_PATH

bq. As mentioned several times, this won't work if a job (e.g., streaming) 
calls the shell scripts with the default values.

Is this any different that what will happen without this patch?  If 
HADOOP_CLASSPATH shouldn't be appended to in trunk but the code _always_ 
appends new values to environment variables, then this seems like it's already 
broken whether this is fixed or not.  My apologies if I'm missing something.

> 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.
