Allen Wittenauer commented on HADOOP-8806:
------------------------------------------

That's why $ORIGIN is a way out of this.  At install time, build a symlink to a 
known path to the out-of-the-way location.

bq.  you cannot link a .a into a .so

Sure you can.  You can always use ar to pull out the objects and then include 
them into your own library.

> libhadoop calls {{dlopen}} to load {{libsnappy.so}} and {{libz.so}}.  These 
> libraries can be bundled in the {{$HADOOP_ROOT/lib/native}} directory.  For 
> example, the {{-Dbundle.snappy}} build option copies {{libsnappy.so}} to this 
> directory.  However, snappy can't be loaded from this directory unless 
> {{LD_LIBRARY_PATH}} is set to include this directory.
> Should we also search {{java.library.path}} when loading these libraries?
