Steve Loughran commented on HADOOP-4285:
----------------------------------------

what do you mean by current working directory? Do you mean something in the 
local OS filesystem, or a current directory in the DFS?

> A way to get tasks current working directory via JobConf

> It would be good to have tasks know its current working directory via 
> JobConf, instead of deriving the same or trying to get local current working 
> directory. I see that we already derive that while updating classpath. Would 
> it be good idea to have it as a config variable to make it available in task 
> execution environment?
