Chris Nauroth commented on HADOOP-11064: ---------------------------------------- I'm +1 for short-term reinstatement of the old function signatures and ongoing work on the long-term policy. Colin, I agree that it's not ideal to lock ourselves into maintaining every function signature that ever existed over time. At least speaking for myself, I have no intention of pointing at this as a precedent to block implementation of a proper versioning scheme. Hopefully that helps ease some of the very legitimate concerns that you raised. BTW, I believe the patch you posted would break Windows. {{NativeCodeLoader}} would attempt to load hadoop-<version>.dll, but the Windows native build hasn't been updated to produce a hadoop-<version>.dll instead of a hadoop.dll. > UnsatisifedLinkError with hadoop 2.4 JARs on hadoop-2.6 due NativeCRC32 > method changes > -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-11064 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-11064 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Bug > Components: native > Affects Versions: 2.6.0 > Environment: Hadoop 2.6 cluster, trying to run code containing hadoop > 2.4 JARs > Reporter: Steve Loughran > Assignee: Colin Patrick McCabe > Priority: Blocker > Attachments: HADOOP-11064.001.patch > > > The private native method names and signatures in {{NativeCrc32}} were > changed in HDFS-6561 ... as a result hadoop-common-2.4 JARs get unsatisifed > link errors when they try to perform checksums. > This essentially stops Hadoop 2.4 applications running on Hadoop 2.6 unless > rebuilt and repackaged with the hadoop- 2.6 JARs -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
