Alejandro Abdelnur commented on HADOOP-7083:
--------------------------------------------
Allen,
Developers that work on Hadoop applications(on top of Hadoop, not Hadoop
itself) normally download and use a Hadoop binary distribution, they don't
build it.
By requiring the use of native code for a basic feature like security to work,
Hadoop is making things quite difficult for Hadoop application developers.
The alternative would be to make sure that Hadoop bundles native libraries for
the most commons developer platforms.
I'd be happy either way, but I think that how things are it is not (or it will
soon be not) a reasonable thing for Hadoop application developers.
Or any other idea on how to solve this?

> In testing with secure Hadoop, the new requirement for native code is
> annoying on platforms like OSX where the native code can be tricky to get
> compiled and working. We should allow developers to disable this aspect of
> security by setting a special flag.
