Allen Wittenauer commented on MAPREDUCE-1400:
---------------------------------------------

FWIW, Single UNIX ® Specification, Version 2, defines these as:

space
    Define characters to be classified as white-space characters. In the POSIX 
locale, at a minimum, the characters space, form-feed, newline, 
carriage-return, tab and vertical-tab are included. In a locale definition 
file, no character specified for the keywords upper, lower, alpha, digit, graph 
or xdigit can be specified. The characters space, form-feed, newline, 
carriage-return, tab and vertical-tab of the portable character set, and any 
characters included in the class blank are automatically included in this 
class. 

...

blank
    Define characters to be classified as blank characters. In the POSIX 
locale, only the space and tab characters are included. In a locale definition 
file, the characters space and tab are automatically included in this class.

Of course, if people aren't following POSIX (which /usr/bin/tr on Solaris 
likely doesn't, but /usr/xpg4/bin/tr definitely does), then it is a bit of 
gamble which way you go.
