[MAPREDUCE-5889] Deprecate FileInputFormat.setInputPaths(Job, String) and FileInputFormat.addInputPaths(Job, String)

• Type: Improvement
• Status: Patch Available
• Priority: Minor
• Resolution: Unresolved
• Target Version/s: 2.8.3
• Release Note: Deprecate o.a.h.mapreduce.lib.input.setInputPaths(Job, String) and o.a.h.mapreduce.lib.input.addInputPaths(Job, String). Use setInputPaths(Job, Path...) and addInputPaths(Job, Path...) instead.

Description

FileInputFormat.setInputPaths(Job job, String commaSeparatedPaths) and FileInputFormat.addInputPaths(Job job, String commaSeparatedPaths) fail to parse commaSeparatedPaths if a comma is included in the file path. (e.g. Path: /path/file,with,comma)
We should deprecate these methods and document to use setInputPaths(Job job, Path... inputPaths) and addInputPaths(Job job, Path... inputPaths) instead.
