Description

YARN-1824 broke compatibility with previous 2.x releases by changes the API's in org.apache.hadoop.yarn.util.Apps.

{setEnvFromInputString,addToEnvironment}

The old api should be added back in.

This affects any ApplicationMasters who were using this api. It also breaks previously built MapReduce libraries from working with the new Yarn release as MR uses this api.
