[jira] Commented: (HADOOP-4285) A way to get tasks current working directory via JobConf

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-4285?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12634845#action_12634845 ] 

Steve Loughran commented on HADOOP-4285:
----------------------------------------

what do you mean by current working directory? Do you mean something in the local OS filesystem, or a current directory in the DFS?

> It would be good to have tasks know its current working directory via JobConf, instead of deriving the same or trying to get local current working directory. I see that we already derive that while updating classpath. Would it be good idea to have it as a config variable to make it available in task execution environment?
