-archives option in JobConf doesn't support symlink for an uncompressed archive directory
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HADOOP-5443
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-5443
             Project: Hadoop Core
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: mapred
    Affects Versions: 0.19.1
            Reporter: Derek Wollenstein
            Priority: Minor


According to http://hadoop.apache.org/core/docs/r0.19.1/streaming.html#Large+files+and+archives+in+Hadoop+Streaming, it should be possible to have an archive uncompressed into the working directory of a job with a given alias.  The documentation here says that
"The -archives option allows you to copy jars locally to the cwd of tasks and automatically unjar the files. For example:

-archives hdfs://host:fs_port/user/testfile.jar#testlink3

In the example above, a symlink testlink3 is created in the current working directory of tasks. This symlink points to the directory that stores the unjarred contents of the uploaded jar file. "

This feature currently breaks because the entires string, including the alias, is validated as a filename by the GenericOptionsParser
I've pasted a stacktrace ( with modified filenames/hosts) below

java.io.FileNotFoundException: File hdfs://host:fs_port/user/testfile.jar#testlink3 does not exist.

This breaks a number of jobs that worked with the cacheArchives option in hadoop streaming.
