Installation on Solaris needs additional PATH setting
-----------------------------------------------------
Key: HADOOP-4603
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-4603
Project: Hadoop Core
Issue Type: Bug
Components: documentation
Affects Versions: 0.18.2
Environment: Solaris 10 x86
Reporter: Jon Brisbin
A default installation as outlined in the docs won't start on Solaris 10 x86.
The "whoami" utility is in path "/usr/ucb" on Solaris 10, which isn't in the
standard PATH environment variable unless the user has added that specifically.
The documentation should reflect this.
Solaris 10 also seemed to throw NPEs if you didn't explicitly set the IP
address to bind the servers to. Simply overriding the IP address fixes the
problem.
