Hi Jose,
According to my knowledge, if you want to use any options with -D , at the
commandline when running jobs, you cannot use any options other than the
ones listed in the link
http://hadoop.apache.org/common/docs/current/mapred-default.html .
Therefore you cannot use "user.name" . The first argument of the line you
have mentioned i.e System.set("user.name", "desiredUserName") , should be
one of those properties mentioned in the above link and accordingly you can
set that value appropriately.
