Specify which JAVA_HOME should be set
-------------------------------------

                 Key: HADOOP-2993
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-2993
             Project: Hadoop Core
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: documentation
    Affects Versions: site
         Environment: irrelevant---issue w/ web documentation
            Reporter: Jason Rennie


Quickstart page (http://hadoop.apache.org/core/docs/current/quickstart.html) 
specifies that user should set JAVA_HOME under "1." of "Required Software".  
But, it does not specify where this should be set.  My instinct (as would be 
the instinct of any un*x user) was to set this in his/her shell/profie/rcfile.  
Please specify that this should be specified in conf/hadoop-env.sh.  Yes, this 
is clarified later under "Download", but is easy to miss, especially since the 
user will think that he/she had already set JAVA_HOME.
