Colin Patrick McCabe commented on HADOOP-8806: ---------------------------------------------- bq. If this is only about MR jobs, isn't setting LD_LIBRARY_PATH in mapreduce.admin.user.env enough? Yes, it is enough. The question is whether we could do anything to make this easier. > libhadoop.so: search java.library.path when calling dlopen > ---------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-8806 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-8806 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Improvement > Reporter: Colin Patrick McCabe > Priority: Minor > > libhadoop calls {{dlopen}} to load {{libsnappy.so}} and {{libz.so}}. These > libraries can be bundled in the {{$HADOOP_ROOT/lib/native}} directory. For > example, the {{-Dbundle.snappy}} build option copies {{libsnappy.so}} to this > directory. However, snappy can't be loaded from this directory unless > {{LD_LIBRARY_PATH}} is set to include this directory. > Should we also search {{java.library.path}} when loading these libraries? -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
