Doug Cutting updated HADOOP-1570:
---------------------------------
Status: Open (was: Patch Available)
This looks great, except the methods to set the configuration property don't
belong on JobConf. JobConf should only have methods specific to jobs, settings
read by the MapReduce kernel. We've not been great about enforcing this in the
past, but don't want JobConf to just turn into a heap of settings. Rather
these should be static methods on related code, like util.NativeCodeLoader.

> As it exists today, native-hadoop libraries are loaded automatically if
> libhadoop.so is present; however we have sporadically seen issues
> (HADOOP-1545) since native direct-buffers aren't very well understood. The
> only way to switch off usage of these is to remove the native libraries which
> is a maintenence issue for large clusters...
> Hence I propose we add a per-job config knob: {{hadoop.native.lib}} (set to
> {{true}} by default) which can be used to control usage of native libraries
> even when the libraries are present e.g. we can have hadoop installed with
> native libraries present and then use this knob to switch off their usage in
> rare cases we see issues with them; thus aiding maintenence.
