Anu Engineer commented on HADOOP-13935: --------------------------------------- [~aw] Thanks for the pointers, envvars does solve the issue. I am going to resolve this JIRA. Happy Holidays. > A command to print JAVA_VERSION used by Hadoop/HDFS > --------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-13935 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-13935 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Improvement > Components: common > Affects Versions: 3.0.0-alpha2 > Reporter: Anu Engineer > Assignee: Yiqun Lin > Labels: newbie > > The java version used by hadoop is controlled by JAVA_HOME variable defined > in hadoop_env.sh. We log this information when HDFS starts in the log file. > {noformat} > STARTUP_MSG: java = 1.8.0_112 > {noformat} > However, it is quite possible that a user might have many versions of java > installed on his/her machine. Generally, users tend to check for the java > version via > {noformat} > java -version > {noformat} > This just means we are printing out the java version in the current shell > path. > This jira proposes adding a new simple command or an extension to existing > hadoop version command where the current java version used by hadoop is also > printed out. > This avoids customer confusion when they are looking at if the java stack is > properly configured. For example, checking if JCE is installed correctly. > This is a very minor change that can be done by modifying hdfs.cmd or hdfs > shell script in the /bin directory. Thanks to [~sujit] for bringing this to > my attention. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332) --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: common-issues-unsubscr...@hadoop.apache.org For additional commands, e-mail: common-issues-h...@hadoop.apache.org
