Description

The behavior of HADOOP_USER_CLASSPATH_FIRST works the opposite of what it should do. If it is not set, HADOOP_CLASSPATH is prepended. If set, it is appended.

You can easily try out by doing something like

HADOOP_CLASSPATH=/Users/alice/tmp hadoop classpath

(HADOOP_CLASSPATH should point to an existing directory)

I think the if clause in hadoop_add_to_classpath_userpath is reversed.

This issue seems specific to the trunk.
