[jira] Created: (HADOOP-6388) Hadoop uses invalid names for environment variables

Hadoop uses invalid names for environment variables
---------------------------------------------------

                 Key: HADOOP-6388
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-6388
             Project: Hadoop Common
          Issue Type: Bug
    Affects Versions: 0.20.1
            Reporter: Simone Leo


Variable names cannot contain dots and this is enforced starting from bash 4.0, see [http://www.mail-archive.com/bug-bash@gnu.org/msg05726.html].

An example of Hadoop functionality that breaks after upgrading to bash 4.0 is running Pipes applications: the "hadoop.pipes.command.port" var is not passed and applications crash with "Hadoop Pipes Exception: Illegal text protocol command".

Simone Leo resolved HADOOP-6388.

    Resolution: Not A Problem

The old behavior has been restored in bash 4.1. Just Stay away from bash 4.0 and you'll be fine :)
