> Currently, MapReduce uses the command line argument to pass the classpath to the child. This breaks if the process forks a child that needs the same classpath. Such a case happens in Hive when it uses map-side joins. I propose that we make MapReduce in branch-1 use the CLASSPATH environment variable like YARN does.
