----------------------------------------

             Summary: TableMapReduceUtil should not rely on org.apache.hadoop.util.JarFinder#getJar
                 Key: HBASE-9003
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-9003
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: mapreduce
    Affects Versions: 0.94.9, 0.95.1, 0.92.2
            Reporter: Esteban Gutierrez


This is the problem: {{TableMapReduceUtil#addDependencyJars}} relies on {{org.apache.hadoop.util.JarFinder}} if available to call {{getJar()}}. However {{getJar()}} uses File.createTempFile() to create a temporary file under {{hadoop.tmp.dir}}{{/target/test-dir}}. Due HADOOP-9737 the created jar and its content is not purged after the JVM is destroyed. Since most configurations point {{hadoop.tmp.dir}} under {{/tmp}} the generated jar files get purged by {{tmpwatch}} or a similar tool, but boxes that have {{hadoop.tmp.dir}} pointing to a different location not monitored by {{tmpwatch}} will pile up a collection of jars causing all kind of issues. Since {{JarFinder#getJar}} is not a public API from Hadoop (see [~tucu00] comment on HADOOP-9737) we shouldn't use that as part of {{TableMapReduceUtil}} in order to avoid this kind of issues.
