Jim Brennan commented on YARN-8071:
-----------------------------------

The original code passed the current environment map, allowing admin variables
to reference other variables defined so far in the environment. The new code
passes an empty map which would seem to preclude this and could be a backwards
compatibility issue.

[~jlowe], after further consideration, I put up a new patch that preserves the
current behavior. Not worth risking a compatibility issue for this.

> Key: YARN-8071
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YARN-8071
> Project: Hadoop YARN
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: yarn
> Affects Versions: 3.0.0
> Reporter: Jim Brennan
> Assignee: Jim Brennan
> Priority: Major
> Attachments: YARN-8071.001.patch, YARN-8071.002.patch,
> YARN-8071.003.patch

> YARN-6830 describes a problem where environment variables that contain commas
> cannot be specified via {{-Dmapreduce.map.env}}.
> For example:
> {{-Dmapreduce.map.env="MODE=bar,IMAGE_NAME=foo,MOUNTS=/tmp/foo,/tmp/bar"}}
> will set {{MOUNTS}} to {{/tmp/foo}}
> In that Jira, [~aw] suggested that we change the API to provide a way to
> specify environment variables individually, the same way that Spark does.
> {quote}Rather than fight with a regex why not redefine the API instead?
>
> -Dmapreduce.map.env.MODE=bar
> -Dmapreduce.map.env.IMAGE_NAME=foo
> -Dmapreduce.map.env.MOUNTS=/tmp/foo,/tmp/bar
> ...
> e.g, mapreduce.map.env.[foo]=bar gets turned into foo=bar
> This greatly simplifies the input validation needed and makes it clear what
> is actually being defined.
> {quote}
> The mapreduce properties were dealt with in [MAPREDUCE-7069]. This Jira will
> address the YARN properties.
