[jira] [Commented] (MRQL-65) Improve the environment configuration file

["Robert Metzger (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/MRQL-65?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14305236#comment-14305236 ] 

Robert Metzger commented on MRQL-65:
------------------------------------

I'm currently very overloaded with work.
We had a similar situation a while back in the Flink community. There was some effort in our project to give users a nice "the first 45 minutes with the project" experience. So every minute counts ;)

What we did in the Flink project is just calling "java" by default, instead of expecting the user to set the JAVA_HOME path.
If the user sets it, we'll also use it.
The same applies to the "jar" command in your case.

I would also recommend to "re-use" defined environment variables (in particular hadoop configuration directories etc.)

I can highly recommend using Google Compute Engine's "bdutil" hadoop2 deployment. Its very well set up and has all the important environment variables there.

> This was reported by Robert Metzger. We need to improve the conf/mrql-env.sh file so that it works out of the box for certain environments, such Google cloud and Amazon EC2. Maybe also create scripts in bin/ to deploy MRQL on the cloud.
> Any volunteers?
