[jira] [Resolved] (MAPREDUCE-236) mapred.jar property in a job configuration file handles only absolute path into the local file system

["Harsh J (Resolved) (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-236?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Harsh J resolved MAPREDUCE-236.
-------------------------------

    Resolution: Not A Problem

I don't see this to be a problem anymore. We need to build that jar up and place it on the (D)FS, if I understand what he's talking about, so URL does not make sense.

> Why does this property does not handle URL ?
> I think it could be more comfortable to specify the URL of a jar instead of an absolute path in the local file system.
> It also could be great to be able to specify a path relative to the job configuration file.
> WDYT ?
