-------------------------------------
The failed test looks unrelated.
> Provide a way to use 'uber' jars with Oozie MR actions

> Right now, say if you have a custom MR code in a jar that has a {{lib/}}
> folder inside which carries more dependent jars (a structure known as 'uber'
> jars), and you submit the job via a regular 'hadoop jar' command, these
> lib/*.jars get picked up by the framework because the supplied jar is
> specified explicitly via conf.setJarByClass or conf.setJar. That is, if this
> user uber jar goes to the JT as the mapred.jar, then it is handled by the
> framework properly and the lib/*.jars are all considered and placed on the
> classpath.
> Distributed cache jars do not have this effect, and that is cause the MR
> framework does not consider them as uber jars and does not extract and use
> their internal lib/ directories.
> We should have a way in oozie to let users promote one of their jars as uber
> jars, as an option.
> Proposal: Have an optional oozie-prefixed config, or an optional element in
> the MR action XML, that lets user specify what class should be loaded to be
> set as setJarByClass(...). This will have to be a class available in the
> higher level of the uber jar (not under lib/) but can be any class inside the
> targeted jar really (just not from a jar under lib/). We then set this as
> jobConf.setJarByClass(loadedCls), and then run the job.
> Thoughts?
