>steve, Tom
I'd recommend you check out the trunk and try building it and running the
tests on solaris.
I've also managed to test and build Hadoop on Solaris. From 0.17
there's support for building the native libraries on Solaris, which
are useful for performance (see
https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-3123).
Thanks for your advice. I have not built Hadoop by myself yet and just tried
with binary. I should try now.

I missed that error message and I do not know why it appeared.
I set the ~/.profile and export the PATH. So, it should work now....
well, let me figure out and report it later.

Thanks,
satoshi

Satoshi, you say you added /usr/ucb to you path too, so I'm puzzled
why you get a LoginException saying "whoami: not found" - did you
export your changes to path?

From hadoop doc, only Linux and Windows are supported platforms. Is it

hadoop on Solaris? Is hadoop implemented in pure java? What kinds of

hi,

no one seems to reply to the previous "hadoop on Solaris" Thread.

I just tried running hadoop on Solaris 5.10 and somehow got error message. If you can give some advices, I would appreciate it. (single operation
seems to
work).


You are probably the first person trying this. This means you have more work, but it gives you an opportunity to contribute code back into the next
release.

I'd recommend you check out the trunk and try building it and running the tests on solaris. Then when the tests fail, you can file bug reports (with stack traces) against specific tests. Then -possibly- other people might pick up and fix the problems, or you can fix them one by one, submitting
patches to the bugreps as you go.

I'm sure the Hadoop team would be happy to have Solaris support, its just a
matter of whoever has the need sitting down to do it.
