Allen Wittenauer resolved HADOOP-6841.
--------------------------------------
Resolution: Fixed
> In Quick Start, mention requirement that HADOOP_HOME needs to be set
> --------------------------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HADOOP-6841
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-6841
> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: documentation
> Affects Versions: 0.20.2
> Reporter: Steve McCarthy
> Priority: Minor
>
> Ref: http://hadoop.apache.org/common/docs/r0.20.0/quickstart.html#Local
> Ref: http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/QuickStart
> As a person new to Hadoop, I was walking through the Quick Start pages
> referenced above. I got stuck on the first example and had to go digging
> through the scripts to figure out why it wasn't working for me.
> It turns out that I didn't have the HADOOP_HOME environment variable set. It
> would have saved a lot of time if the instructions mentioned setting this
> variable.
> Thanks.
