Question about native shared libraries distributed in release 2.6.4

[Michael Wall <mj...@gmail.com>]

Hello

I have a question about the native libraries distributed with the 2.6.4
release.  The documentation from
http://hadoop.apache.org/docs/r2.6.4/hadoop-project-dist/hadoop-common/NativeLibraries.html
says

"The pre-built 32-bit i386-Linux native hadoop library is available as part
of the hadoop distribution and is located in the lib/native directory. You
can download the hadoop distribution from Hadoop Common Releases."

However, when I run the 'file' command on libhdfs and libhadoop included in
the binary distribution, it appears they are 64 bit

file libhadoop.so.1.0.0
libhadoop.so.1.0.0: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV),
dynamically linked, BuildID[sha1]=b3b5e812c2a91fa4b28aa33eb76dc6889d3b91e9,
not stripped

file libhdfs.so.0.0.0
libhdfs.so.0.0.0: ELF 64-bit LSB shared object, x86-64, version 1 (SYSV),
dynamically linked, BuildID[sha1]=c08b0e042e563903a30c02d3605115421948f790,
not stripped

Is this a documentation issue or am I missing something?

Thanks

Mike
