> This issue is related to HADOOP-2838.
> For X=$X:Y : Append Y to X (which should be taken from the tasktracker) ,  if  we append to an undefined variable then value for undefined variable should be displayed as blank 
> e.g. NEW_PATH=$NEW_PATH2:/tmp should be displayed as 
> ":/tmp" in child's environment 
> while that variable is being displayed as a string ("$NEW_PATH2:/tmp") in the environemnt.
>  This is happening in case of default task-controller only. This scenario works fine with linux task-controller.
