Gabor Liptak commented on HADOOP-12081: --------------------------------------- https://github.com/apache/commons-lang/blob/master/src/main/java/org/apache/commons/lang3/SystemUtils.java has some of this recognition functionality, but missing 64bit and zOS functions. I opened LANG-1145 and LANG-1146 to discuss. > Support Hadoop on zLinux - fix JAAS authentication issue > -------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-12081 > URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-12081 > Project: Hadoop Common > Issue Type: Bug > Components: security > Affects Versions: 2.6.0 > Environment: zLinux. > Reporter: Adam Roberts > Labels: zlinux > > Currently the 64 bit check in security/UserGroupInformation.java uses os.arch > and checks for "64". s390x is returned on IBM's z platform: s390x is 64 bit. > Without this change, if we try to use HDFS with Spark, we get a fatal error > (unable to login as we can't find a login class). > This address fixes said issue by identifying s390x as a 64 bit platform and > thus allowing Spark to run on zLinux. A simple fix with very big implications! -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
