Jython WordCount.py example fails with Java >= 1.4
--------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HADOOP-859
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-859
             Project: Hadoop
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: examples
         Environment: Java versions >= 1.4.
            Reporter: Shannon -jj Behrens
            Priority: Minor


I had a hard time getting the Jython WordCount.py example to work due to changes to Java:

   cd ~/Desktop/hadoop-0.9.2/src/examples/python
   bash compile
   1  ./jpywork/org/apache/hadoop/examples/getopt.java:268: as of release 1.4,
   'assert' is a keyword, and may not be used as an identifier
   (try -source 1.3 or lower to use 'assert' as an identifier)
           if (frame.getglobal("__debug__").__nonzero__())
   Py.assert(frame.getglobal("len").__call__(frame.getlocal(2))._eq(i$9));

To work around the problem, I updated the compile file.  I added
'--compileropts "-source 1.3"' to the jythonc call.  Perhaps the
underlying problem is Jython-specific, but at least there's a
workaround for us.
