Description

The leveldbjni artifact in maven repository has been built for only x86 architecture. Due to which some of the testcases are failing in PowerPC. The leveldbjni community has no plans to support other platforms [ https://github.com/fusesource/leveldbjni/issues/54 ]. Right now , the approach is we need to locally built leveldbjni prior to running hadoop testcases. Pushing a PowerPC-specific leveldbjni artifact in central maven repository and making pom.xml to pickup it up while running in PowerPC is another option but i don't know whether this is a suitable one . Any other alternative/solution is there ?
