System property in hadoop

[Deepika Khera]

Hi,

I want to add a Java System property that a running reduce task should be able 
to read . I added it to the hadoop-env.sh script in the HADOOP_OPTS.

So, like

export HADOOP_OPTS="-Dmy.file.name=/abc/def.properties"

But still the task is not able to read the property 
(System.getProperty("my.file.name") in the reduce task fails ) . Am I missing 
something, is this not the right place to specify a java system property ?

Thanks,
Deepika
