Jonathan Hsieh commented on HBASE-13338:
----------------------------------------
I agree with [~jmspaggi] here about testing being the concern here. Do you
know if the old version you are using is compatible with the new?
[~Ayappan], if you make the patch (hopefully just a straight foroward change to
pom), can you make sure to run [1] and report on if manually verifies that
things seem to work?

> Hbase to use PowerPC supported Jruby version 1.7.20
> ---------------------------------------------------
>
> Key: HBASE-13338
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-13338
> Project: HBase
> Issue Type: Task
> Components: dependencies, shell
> Affects Versions: 1.0.0, 0.98.12
> Environment: PowerPC64, PowerPC64LE
> Reporter: Ayappan
>
> Older versions of jffi (till 1.2.7) don't have native PPC64 & PPC64LE
> libraries. The latest released 1.2.8 version has PowerPC libraries and the
> jruby development version(1.7.20--SNAPSHOT) has been updated to make use of
> this version. Hbase still uses much older jruby 1.6.8 version which don't
> have the native libraries and this affects the Hbase shell in PowerPCs. So
> Hbase needs to be updated to make use of the upcoming Jruby release 1.7.20 to
> support PowerPC.
