Allen Wittenauer commented on HADOOP-6988:
------------------------------------------

Grr.  I really wish we'd stop creating pet environment variables.  This is 
ridiculous.

Can we remove this env var as part of this JIRA?  What takes precendence the 
env var or the mapreduce.job.credentials.binary jobconf setting?  What is the 
interaction?  If the answer is "we have to look at the code" then we've failed.

It makes much more sense to have mapreduce.job.credentials.binary to support a 
comma delimited set (to be consistent with the rest of the job conf.  Never 
mind that colon is the traditional directory delimiter on OS X.)
