Roman Shaposhnik commented on HADOOP-10397:
-------------------------------------------
I would be *very* cautious about setting expectations for having native
libraries released as part of the tarball. In fact, I'd rather have them
dropped completely. Otherwise you have to guarantee that you build on the
lowest common denominator of the Linux OSes people are using and you
essentially pin down your build environment. Something that I'm not sure all
future Hadoop RMs are willing to do.
> No 64-bit native lib in Hadoop releases

> Key: HADOOP-10397
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-10397
> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: Bug
> Reporter: Zhijie Shen
>
> Recently, I had a chance to talk to a Hadoop user, who complained there's no
> 64-bit native lib in Hadaoop releases, and it was user unfriendly to make
> them download all the dependenies to build 64-bit themselves.
> Hence I checked the recent two releases, 2.2 and 2.3, whose native lib are
> both ELF 32-bit LSB shared objects. I'm not aware of the reason why we don't
> release 64-bit, but I'd like to open the ticket to tackle this issue given we
> didn't before.
