Dustin Cote commented on YARN-2369: ----------------------------------- [~jlowe] or [~aw] is this one still needed? If it is, I'd like to take a crack at it. I've had problems with the LD_LIBRARY_PATH in my own experiences, so if it's not fixed by something else in a later version I think it should be. > Environment variable handling assumes values should be appended > --------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: YARN-2369 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/YARN-2369 > Project: Hadoop YARN > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 2.2.0 > Reporter: Jason Lowe > Assignee: Dustin Cote > > 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. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
