[jira] [Commented] (HADOOP-7542) Change XML format to 1.1 to add support for serializing additional characters

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-7542?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13119161#comment-13119161 ] 

Vinod Kumar Vavilapalli commented on HADOOP-7542:
-------------------------------------------------

Alright, I am consistently hitting this, it is such a pain. I can consistently reproduce this on two machines - one ubuntu 11.04 and the other RHEL 4. I am going to revert this.

> Feature added by this Jira has a problem while setting up some of the invalid xml characters e.g. ctrl-A e.g. mapred.textoutputformat.separator = "\u0001"
> e,g,
> String delim = "\u0001";
> Conf.set("mapred.textoutputformat.separator", delim);
> Job client serializes the jobconf with mapred.textoutputformat.separator set to "\u0001" (ctrl-A) and problem happens when it is de-serialized (read back) by job tracker, where it encounters invalid xml character.
> The test for this feature public : testFormatWithCustomSeparator() does not serialize the jobconf after adding the separator as ctrl-A and hence does not detect the specific problem.
