stack commented on HADOOP-1648: ------------------------------- Thinking about this issue more (brought on by how to run MR jobs from hbase shell -- HADOOP-1608), my comment above on 23/Jul/07 09:25 PM is confusing what HBASE_CONF_DIR is for; its content is used starting and stopping hbase clusters, not config. for a MR job w/ hbase dependencies. Config. for a MR job -- an hbase-site.xml w/ MR config. -- can either be copied across the cluster into HADOOP_HOME/conf or bundled up into the job jar (HADOOP-1622). So, having contrib jars added to the hadoop CLASSPATH will make it so things like the hbase TableOutput/InputFormats are generally available and hbase doesn't have to be added to every job jar that has a hbase dependency. But what about contrib libs? In hbase there is at least a lucene jar that conceivably that a hbase MR might use (indexing content). > Add contrib jars to general hadoop CLASSPATH > -------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-1648 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-1648 > Project: Hadoop > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: stack > Priority: Minor > Attachments: hadoop1648.patch > > > A mapreduce job that depends on any of the hadoop contrib jars must bundle > the contrib jar into its job jar or copy the contrib jar to the lib dir > across the cluster because hadoop contribs are not on the general hadoop > CLASSPATH.
