Aaron T. Myers commented on HDFS-2045: -------------------------------------- In the absence of compatibility concerns, I agree with option 2. I'm sorry we didn't go with this in the first place. That said, I don't feel strongly about maintaining the backward compatibility of this "feature" of being able to run Hadoop from distinct mr/hdfs/common build directories. So, if no one else feels strongly about this, then I'm fine rolling with option 2 (and closing this issue.) > HADOOP_*_HOME environment variables no longer work for tar ball distributions > ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HDFS-2045 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-2045 > Project: Hadoop HDFS > Issue Type: Bug > Reporter: Aaron T. Myers > > It used to be that you could do the following: > # Run `ant bin-package' in your hadoop-common checkout. > # Set HADOOP_COMMON_HOME to the built directory of hadoop-common. > # Run `ant bin-package' in your hadoop-hdfs checkout. > # Set HADOOP_HDFS_HOME to the built directory of hadoop-hdfs. > # Set PATH to have HADOOP_HDFS_HOME/bin and HADOOP_COMMON_HOME/bin on it. > # Run `hdfs'. > \\ > \\ > As of HDFS-1963, this no longer works since hdfs-config.sh is looking in > HADOOP_COMMON_HOME/bin/ for hadoop-config.sh, but it's being placed in > HADOOP_COMMON_HOME/libexec. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
