Description

At present the Hadoop Map/Reduce native components aren't fully supported on Solaris primarily due to differences between Linux and Solaris. This top-level task will be used to group together both existing and new issues related to this work. A second goal is to improve Hadoop Map/Reduce performance on Solaris wherever possible.
