Peng Lei commented on MAPREDUCE-4847:
-------------------------------------

Thank you for your comment!

I have put the command in a script file as a workaround, it works. But in this 
case, the command is not too complex to write a dedicate script file, and on 
fly script generating is a bit tricky(at least for maintainer).

It seems hadoop can't run on windows without cygwin. Another solution may be: 
add a new option to instruct streaming to use an alternative command invoker, 
such as:

  -command_invoker "sh -c"

This could solve the issue and didn't break the existing hadoop-streaming 
application.

> Hadoop streaming parse the mapper and reducer commands by itself, this is not 
> a good choice, when I write a complex mapper/reducer script inline, such as 
> 'perl -ne ...', it don't work.
> An alternative way is to send the command to the shell, simply create new 
> process(sh -c "command_and_args"), this not also simplize the streaming code, 
> but also improve its capability!
