     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-4931?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Harsh J resolved MAPREDUCE-4931.
--------------------------------
          Resolution: Not a Problem
    Target Version/s:   (was: 3.0.0)

Closing out as Not A Problem, given the classloader approaches in MR2 and also Steve's comment earlier.

> The feature config from MAPREDUCE-1938 of allowing tasks to start with user-classes-first is fairly popular and can use its own API hooks in Job/JobConf classes, making it easier to discover and use it rather than continuing to keep it as an advanced param.
> I propose to add two APIs to Job/JobConf:
> {code}
> void setUserClassesTakesPrecedence(boolean)
> boolean userClassesTakesPrecedence()
> {code}
> Both of which, depending on their branch of commit, set the property {{mapreduce.user.classpath.first}} (1.x) or {{mapreduce.job.user.classpath.first}} (trunk, 2.x and if needed, in 0.23.x).
