Sean Mackrory commented on BIGTOP-955:
--------------------------------------
+1 (committer)! I've tested the patch, specifically with respect to Pig's
integration, and the classpath is indeed built up the way it appears Pig
expects it to be upstream. I will commit this if no one else in the community
disagrees soon. This is kind of a new pattern so there may be those who
disagree, but I see this as similar to the way we source /etc/default/hadoop
for eveything. I think more and more HBase is seen as part of the ecosystem
"kernel" because it's often used as *the* storage layer, and I think this
practice is just a natural reflection of that. Everything I see in
/etc/default/hbase is excplitly HBase-specific, but if it's common for people
to throw generic JVM environment stuff in this files this could be confusing -
hence me waiting for a bit to make sure I'm not insane. Otherwise I'll commit
this today.

> Integration between HBase and other data tools can be improved. Work on
> HIVE-2055, PIG-2786 and HCATALOG-621 will allow those tools' launch scripts
> (project-local {{bin/XXX}}) to include HBase jars and configuration on the
> classpath when {{HBASE_HOME}} and {{HBASE_CONF_DIR}} are defined. I believe
> it is BigTop's responsibility to provide that environment for HBase
> deployments, similar to how {{HADOOP_HOME}} is provided.
