> libhdfs: no way to set JVM args other than classpath
> ----------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HADOOP-2857
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-2857
> Project: Hadoop Core
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: libhdfs
> Affects Versions: 0.16.0
> Reporter: Craig Macdonald
> Assignee: Craig Macdonald
> Priority: Minor
> Fix For: 0.18.0
>
> Attachments: patch.libhdfs.jvm.args, v2.patch.libhdfs.jvm.args
>
> Original Estimate: 5h
> Remaining Estimate: 5h
>
> I would like a way to set other Java system properties and/or other Java VM
> arguments when using libhdfs - i.e. I want to be able to say start a
> profiler, attach a debugger, or increase the memory available to the VM.
> At present, new JVMs are initialised from the getJNIEnv(void) method in
> src/c++/libhdfs/hdfsJniHelper.c
> This method initialises the -Djava.class.path JVM argument from the CLASSPATH
> environment variable. I am proposing that another env variable should be
> added, the contents of which is passed (almost) verbatim as JVM arguments.
> Eg, say the env var JVM_ARGS is used. The string from the env var would be
> tokenised on "one or more spaces", and would be passed as additional JVM
> arguments, by make a larger JavaVMOption options[] array, and setting
> vm_args.nOptions = 1+ number of passed arguments.
> Only flaw I can see with this is that none of the passed parameters can
> contain spaces.
