Description

Apps.setEnvFromInputString and Apps.addToEnvironment are methods used by MapReduce, Spark, and Tez that are currently marked private. As these are useful for any YARN app that wants to allow users to augment container environments, it would be helpful to make them public.

It may make sense to put them in a new class with a better name.
