Description

Recently, I had a chance to talk to a Hadoop user, who complained there's no 64-bit native lib in Hadaoop releases, and it was user unfriendly to make them download all the dependenies to build 64-bit themselves.

Hence I checked the recent two releases, 2.2 and 2.3, whose native lib are both ELF 32-bit LSB shared objects. I'm not aware of the reason why we don't release 64-bit, but I'd like to open the ticket to tackle this issue given we didn't before.
