Sean Busbey commented on HBASE-13338:
-------------------------------------
Upgrading this won't be just a simple pom change. JRuby 1.7 changes the default
Ruby version from 1.8 to 1.9, which is *very* incompatible. You should be able
to tell JRuby to still run in Ruby 1.8 mode
([ref|https://github.com/jruby/jruby/wiki/FAQs#does-jruby-support-ruby-19x-features]).
Please make sure to do this.
I really want to update or Ruby version because Ruby 1.8 is super old, has be
EOL by several Ruby communities, and finally starting to die off. I've been
waiting for the release of JRuby 9000 to update us off of Ruby 1.8 (release
9.0.0.0 pre-1 just finally landed in january). It updates things to be Ruby 2.2
(and only 2.2 IIRC).
> 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.
