Description

HIVE-8341 added code to compress the transaction list in the JobConf when it reaches a certain size. This breaks when the JobConf is converted to job.xml and sent to MR. The special characters are not correctly escaped.

The proposed fix is to back out the compression (not the changes to ScriptOperator) for now and look later at compressing/encoding it in a way that works with job.xml.
