ryan rawson commented on HBASE-850:
-----------------------------------

we need to be really careful here - on most Debian based distros, the standard 
/usr/bin/java is a highly obsolete, non-sun JDK that is 150% inappropriate for 
running HBase.

Falling back on a non-sun JVM is never going to be the right thing to do for a 
while. 

> bin/hbase should check `which java` to find java

>                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-850
>             Project: Hadoop HBase
>          Issue Type: Bug
>          Components: scripts
>            Reporter: Michael Bieniosek
>            Priority: Minor
>
> Currently, the bin/hbase script tries to find java in JAVA_HOME/bin/java. If 
> JAVA_HOME isn't set, it errors out.
> Instead, I think it should check `which java 2>/dev/null` to see if there is 
> a java on the user's PATH. If a java is on the user's path, the script should 
> just set JAVA=java.
