Description
- Current bin/hbase script sets the java.library.path to include hadoop native libs based on what version of hadoop is installed on the box.
HADOOP_IN_PATH=$(PATH="${HADOOP_HOME:-${HADOOP_PREFIX}}/bin:$PATH" which hadoop 2>/dev/null)
- This effectively means that a self-contained HBase running with a different version of embedded hadoop jars will fail to work in case of version incompatibilities.
- Example:
AMBARI-5707, runs a embedded HBase on local FS side-by-side with cluster Hadoop installation.
- It would be good to have a hbase-env variable to completely override native lib path or a config to disable native lib path lookup, in which case user has to provide it during start.
