The config files are XML. Seems like multiple name/value pairs should work.

--------------------------------------------

humm, so how do we specify a list of paths?

sounds like a conversation about quoting conventions is needed

Path configuration properties should not be comma separated

                Key: HADOOP-667
                URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-667
            Project: Hadoop
         Issue Type: Bug
         Components: fs
   Affects Versions: 0.7.2
           Reporter: Nigel Daley
           Priority: Minor

A few configuration properties allow multiple directory paths separated by comma's (,). Since comma is a valid character for a directory name, it should not be used as a path separator.
At a minimum, this applies to these properties:
     mapred.local.dir
     dfs.name.dir
[ I also wonder how robust the implementation is against paths that contain spaces. ]
