Chad Metcalf updated MAPREDUCE-941:
-----------------------------------

    Attachment: MapReduce941.patch

This is perhaps a better alternative. The script current already makes an 
assumption that the version information is in the second half of the first 
line. This changes the assumption to second half of a line starting with 
Hadoop. So it isn't any less maintainable. It improves readability. And doesn't 
require a user to manipulate paths or have nawk installed. 

The patch uses the most basic (read portable) functionality from both grep and 
awk.

  

> vaidya script calls awk instead of nawk

> The vaidya script uses this construction:
> awk 'BEGIN { RS = "" ; FS = "\n" } ; { print $1 }'
> Under "old awk", this fails.  Under "new awk", this works.  Depending upon 
> the OS, awk may point to either old or new awk.  In the Solaris case, awk 
> defaults to oawk.
