Description

Compilation fails with below error message :
../../build/release/exec/libExec.a(hbase-table-scanner.cc.o): In function `impala::HBaseTableScanner::Init()':
/usr1/code/Impala/code/current/impala/be/src/exec/hbase-table-scanner.cc:113: undefined reference to `getJNIEnv'

Compiler Impala Failed, exit

This issue is coming because libhdfs in hadoop 2.7.0 has made visibility of getJNIEnv() as hidden.
But shouldn't Impala create its own JNIEnv ?
These HBase related files seem to have no direct connection with libhdfs
