Description

the hadoop services won't start for me on an ubuntu 10.04 system as the only JDK I have installed there is java7, which the scripts wont find (as they look for java-6-*)

the workaround is to add a default-java symlink, but you have to know what to do first.

better to add java-7-* to the list of JVMs, possibly even java-8-* for the future.
