-----------------------------------
Summary: quickstart guide should instruct folks to set JAVA_HOME
to a JDK installation.
Key: HBASE-20754
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-20754
Project: HBase
Issue Type: Bug
Components: documentation
Reporter: Sean Busbey
The quickstart guide currently instructs folks to set JAVA_HOME, but to the
wrong place
{code}
The JAVA_HOME variable should be set to a directory which contains the
executable file bin/java. Most modern Linux operating systems provide a
mechanism, such as /usr/bin/alternatives on RHEL or CentOS, for transparently
switching between versions of executables such as Java. In this case, you can
set JAVA_HOME to the directory containing the symbolic link to bin/java, which
is usually /usr.
JAVA_HOME=/usr
{code}
instead, it should tell folks to point it to a jdk installation and help them
on how to find that.
