Interesting and strange.
but are there any reason for setting $HADOOP_HOME to $HADOOP_PREFIX in
hadoop-conf.sh
and then checking in /bin/hadoop.sh whether $HADOOP_HOME is not equal to ""
I mean if I comment out the export HADOOP_HOME=${HADOOP_PREFIX} in
hadoop-conf.sh, does it make any difference ?
Thanks,
Praveenesh
