Suresh Srinivas commented on HADOOP-8899: ----------------------------------------- Alejandro, this is manifest only jar. See similar things done in maven surefire - http://maven.apache.org/plugins/maven-surefire-plugin/examples/class-loading.html. bq. then things will not work as expected as you'll lose some of those files in the consolidation I do not understand given above comment. All you have done is create a jar with manifest file that has classpath. What do mean by things will not work as expected? > Classpath exceeds maximum OS limit > ---------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-8899 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-8899 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Bug > Affects Versions: 1-win > Reporter: Ahmed El Baz > Attachments: HADOOP-8899.branch-1-win.classpath.patch > > > We hit errors in TT due to long classpath value. One example is Oozie trying > to start a hive job, and it fails with the following error: > java.io.IOException: Command exceeds the OS command length limit: 8192, > command: "set CLASSPATH="…. > The classpath includes Hadoop Core + Hive Jars which are in the distributed > cache. This is causing the classpath to be too long giving the error above. A > viable long term fix is to generate a temporary JAR file in the task cache > directory which includes all elements in the long classpath, and then provide > this as the "-classpath" argument for the JVM to be spawned.
