Thank you for sharing that. I was expecting to see some kind of failure in building our C codebase, where a 32-bit vs. 64-bit portability problem is likely to happen. Instead, that's a failure in Maven's handling of a jar dependency. I tried building from the 2.4.0 source, and I couldn't reproduce the problem.
Is it possible that this is a problem specific to the Maven version running your build? The BUILDING.txt file in the root of the source tree has details on what tools and what versions are required for the build. --Chris Nauroth From: Christopher <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Date: Thursday, June 16, 2016 at 12:48 PM To: Chris Nauroth <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>>, "[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>" <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Subject: Re: i686 support Well, the error I got was: [ERROR] Failed to execute goal org.apache.maven.plugins:maven-jar-plugin:3.0.1:jar (default-jar) on project hadoop-yarn-applications-distributedshell: You have to use a classifier to attach supplemental artifacts to the project instead of replacing them. -> [Help 1] https://kojipkgs.fedoraproject.org//work/tasks/1712/14521712/build.log I'm not sure if this is a Fedora-specific problem (due to its dependency convergence and the specific version of the maven-jar-plugin, for example), or if it's an upstream problem. This was version 2.4.1. Right now, I'm just trying to stabilize the currently packaged 2.4 version, before I begin moving towards an upgrade path for users to migrate to a newer version (2.6, probably). It's just that I'm a bit overwhelmed with Hadoop's build and quantity of components. Not sure where to begin looking.

I'm not aware of any conscious choice by the community to halt 32-bit support, so if that's not working, then it might be a bug. Do you have more details on the build failure? That might help us confirm if it's a bug, and if so, move to tracking it in an Apache JIRA. --Chris Nauroth From: Christopher <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Date: Thursday, June 16, 2016 at 12:35 PM To: "[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>" <[email protected]<mailto:[email protected]>> Subject: i686 support Hi, Is i686 a supported arch by the upstream Hadoop developers? I'm trying to package hadoop RPMs for Fedora (reviving somebody else's previous efforts), and can't get things to build on i686. Is this normal? Does upstream care about 32-bit users? What about release testing on i686? I normally wouldn't care about 32-bit, but Fedora packaging standards encourage me to get it to work for all core architectures supported by Fedora. Has anybody else done any 32-bit packaging that could help me troubleshoot? I don't even own 32-bit hardware. (Even better if you want to help co-maintain Hadoop in Fedora.. that would be awesome).
