[jira] Issue Comment Edited: (HADOOP-3162) Map/reduce stops working with comma separated input paths

---------------------------------------------------------------

The problem was caused by the patch to HADOOP-3064. HADOOP-3064 allows that a path name contains a comma. Methods setInputPath and addInputPath of JobConf escape all the commas in the path name.  So before this change, if a user's map/reduce job has the following code:
{code}
jobConf.setInputPath(new Path("aa,bb")));
{code}
jobConf.getInputPaths returned an array of two paths: "aa" and "bb". 
After this patch, jobConf.getInputPaths returns an array of one path: "aa,bb".

I guess the failed job might have used jobConf.setInputPath(new Path("path1,path2")) to set two input paths. It should use the following statements instead:
{code}
jobConf.setInputPath(new Path("path1"));
jobConf.addInputPath(new Path("path2"));
{code}
