Hemanth Yamijala commented on HADOOP-2838: ------------------------------------------ Will it fail mysteriously or will it be easy to know that the failure is because of the invalid syntax ? If not, I think it would be useful to make it easy to know this is the cause in some way. Maybe through the diagnostic string. > Add HADOOP_LIBRARY_PATH config setting so Hadoop will include external > directories for jni > ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ > > Key: HADOOP-2838 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-2838 > Project: Hadoop Core > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: mapred > Affects Versions: 0.16.0 > Reporter: Owen O'Malley > Assignee: Amar Kamat > Fix For: 0.21.0 > > Attachments: HADOOP-2838-v1.0.patch, HADOOP-2838-v1.1.patch, > HADOOP-2838-v2.2-branch-20-example.patch, HADOOP-2838-v2.2.patch > > > Currently there is no way to configure Hadoop to use external JNI > directories.
