             Summary: Oozie jobs able to affect container classpath
                 Key: MAPREDUCE-5855
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MAPREDUCE-5855
             Project: Hadoop Map/Reduce
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: applicationmaster, job submission, mr-am, mrv2
    Affects Versions: 2.2.0
         Environment: Centos 6.4
            Reporter: Michael Miklavcic


A submitted job is able to affect the container classpath and cause failures at 
the container level.

The jar spec allows a user to specify a service provider via the Service Loader 
interface for things like XML implementations. These implementations can be 
provided by including files in META-INF/services that have a line declaring 
which implementation should be loaded by the JVM.

I've attached a contrived example that mimics what I witnessed at a client 
site. They had xalan and xerces jars in an Oozie lib directory as dependencies 
for a Pig workflow. The stacktrace is also attached.

There is a work-around for this problem - either include all necessary jars, 
e.g. serializer.jar, in your Oozie workflow lib, or rely on default xml 
providers. But, is this expected behavior from yarn/map-reduce?
