--------------------------------------------------
Arup: Do you mind if I assign the jira to me? Would like to get this fixed in
an upcoming release.
> Hadoop streaming throws error if list of input files is high. Error is:
> "error=7, Argument list too long at if number of input file is high"

> Hadoop streaming exposes all the key values in job conf as environment
> variables when it forks a process for streaming code to run. Unfortunately
> the variable mapreduce_input_fileinputformat_inputdir contains the list of
> input files, and Linux has a limit on size of environment variables +
> arguments.
> Based on how long the list of files and their full path is this could be
> pretty huge. And given all of these variables are not even used it stops user
> from running hadoop job with large number of files, even though it could be
> run.
> Linux throws E2BIG if the size is greater than certain size which is error
> code 7. And java translates that to "error=7, Argument list too long". More:
> http://man7.org/linux/man-pages/man2/execve.2.html I suggest skipping
> variables if it is greater than certain length. That way if user code
> requires the environment variable it would fail. It should also introduce a
> config variable to skip long variables, and set it to false by default. That
> way user has to specifically set it to true to invoke this feature.
