I pretty sure you can't just make sure commonjs modules are available to the JS interpreter because you don't want every module available all the time. The idea is that you have some bootstrap mechanism to load the right JS modules when you need them. Some M/R jobs would need module X while other M/R jobs would need module Y. Quite possibly you don't want both modules X and Y available all the time to all jobs. Clear as mud? :) Thanks! Jon Brisbin http//jbrisbin.com
