stack commented on HBASE-4243:
------------------------------
np. Linux is usually a safe bet but then you also have to make sure it works
on the desktop machine a bunch of us whiney engineers use. I saw this hunting
around for shell portable readlink:

Maybe it'll help?

> Now that HBASE-3465 has been integrated, perhaps we should try to auto-detect
> the HADOOP_HOME setting if it is not given explicitly. Something along the
> lines of:
> {noformat}
> # check for hadoop in the path
> 141 HADOOP_IN_PATH=`which hadoop 2>/dev/null`
> 142 if [ -f ${HADOOP_IN_PATH} ]; then
> 143 HADOOP_DIR=`dirname "$HADOOP_IN_PATH"`/..
> 144 fi
> 145 # HADOOP_HOME env variable overrides hadoop in the path
> 146 HADOOP_HOME=${HADOOP_HOME:-$HADOOP_DIR}
> 147 if [ "$HADOOP_HOME" == "" ]; then
> 148 echo "Cannot find hadoop installation: \$HADOOP_HOME must be set or
> hadoop must be in the path";
> 149 exit 4;
> 150 fi
> {noformat}
> Thoughts?
