             Summary: RunJar adds the content of the jar twice to the classpath
                 Key: HADOOP-13410
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-13410
             Project: Hadoop Common
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: util
            Reporter: Sangjin Lee


Today when you run a "hadoop jar" command, the jar is unzipped to a temporary location and gets added to the classloader.

However, the original jar itself is still added to the classpath.
{code}
      List<URL> classPath = new ArrayList<>();
      classPath.add(new File(workDir + "/").toURI().toURL());
      classPath.add(file.toURI().toURL());
      classPath.add(new File(workDir, "classes/").toURI().toURL());
      File[] libs = new File(workDir, "lib").listFiles();
      if (libs != null) {
        for (File lib : libs) {
          classPath.add(lib.toURI().toURL());
        }
      }
{code}

As a result, the contents of the jar are present in the classpath *twice* and are completely redundant. Although this does not necessarily cause correctness issues, some stricter code written to require a single presence of files may fail.

I cannot think of a good reason why the jar should be added to the classpath if the unjarred content was added to it. I think we should remove the jar from the classpath.
