[jira] Commented: (HADOOP-667) Path configuration properties should not be comma separated

    [ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-667?page=comments#action_12446390 ] 
            
Yoram Arnon commented on HADOOP-667:
------------------------------------

dfs.data.dir too.
care is required when making a change to maintain backwards compatibility with current configuratins

>             Project: Hadoop
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: fs
>    Affects Versions: 0.7.2

>            Priority: Minor

> A few configuration properties allow multiple directory paths separated by comma's (,).  Since comma is a valid character for a directory name, it should not be used as a path separator.
> At a minimum, this applies to these properties:
>      mapred.local.dir
>      dfs.name.dir
> [ I also wonder how robust the implementation is against paths that contain spaces. ]
