I just noticed that in the latest asterixdb master, java_home in a cluster configuration file is mandatory.
It used to be that a trial user can run a local test asterixdb instance without changing anything in configuration files. But now it's no longer the case -- a user needs to manually set the java_home. I wonder why the system cannot use $JAVA_HOME environment variable if the java_home is not present in the config, since in the beginning of the install documentation a user has already been asked to set the $JAVA_HOME: https://asterix-jenkins.ics.uci.edu/job/asterix-test-full/site/asterix-doc/install.html Best, Yingyi
