> Currently, to run "yarn jar myjob.jar" you have to set the following in hadoop-env.sh.
> {code}
> HADOOP_MAPRED_HOME=/usr/lib/hadoop-mapreduce
> {code}
> This is a bit annoying if you're dealing with multiple Hadoop client configurations.  I'd like to propose the following for consideration:
> # If the user is using "yarn" (the binary) we default HADOOP_MAPRED_HOME to the implementation of MR2 that we shipped with.  Since the {{yarn}} binary knows its name, and knows the relative path to hadoop-mapreduce, this would be an easy default to implement.
> # We have a softer way to trigger "prefer yarn" rather than specifying the directory. E.g., HADOOP_MAPRED_PREFER_MR2  This makes it easier to switch betwen the two without remember the details of where the directory is.
> Thoughts!
> Thanks!
