[jira] Commented: (HADOOP-3064) Exception with file globbing closures

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-3064?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12581118#action_12581118 ] 

Hairong Kuang commented on HADOOP-3064:
---------------------------------------

This is a problem whenever a file name contains a comma. I am thinking to escape commas before saving the input paths to a jobconf and unescape it after reading it from the jobconf.
