Mingjie Lai commented on FLUME-1212:
------------------------------------

@hari, @arvind. 

What if $HBASE_HOME is not set? I don't think HBASE_HOME or HADOOP_HOME is 
required to run a hbase or hadoop client. Loading jars by an env variable can 
be problematic. Eventually, the right way is to set classpath at something like 
flume-env.sh, etc.

> Currently Flume distribution bundles the following in the lib directory:
> * hbase-0.92.1.jar
> * hadoop-core-1.0.1.jar
> * zookeeper-3.4.3.jar
> Instead it should follow the same mechanism that is used for HDFS sink - 
> where the necessary jars are picked up dynamically from the set HBASE_HOME, 
> preferably using the hbase scripts that enumerate it's classpath.
