Yes, I can verify by doing so, HBase respects my customized config. Shall I
file
a JIRA against HBase or Hadoop itself?
When HBase was in hadoop/contrib, the hbase script set both HADOOP_CONF_DIR
and HBASE_CONF_DIR to CLASSPATH, so that dfs's configuration can be loaded
correctly. However, when moved out hadoop/contrib, it only sets HBASE_CONF_DIR.
I can think of several possible solutions:
1) set HADOOP_CONF_DIR in hbase-env.sh, then add HADOOP_CONF_DIR to
CLASSPATH as before
2) Instruct user to create links for hadoop-*.xml if they want to
customize some dfs settings.
3) If only a small set of dfs confs are related to dfs's client, maybe
they can be set via
hbase-site.xml, then hbase sets these for us when create a FileSystem obj.
Thanks for finding this oversight of ours Rong-en. Please file a JIRA.
Make it a blocker for branch and trunk. At a minimum, we should improve
our doc. so includes all the suggestions you make above.
Thank you,
