HADOOP_HOME depracated

Hello, why when running Hadoop, there is always HADOOP_HOME shell 
variable being told to be deprecated. How to set installation directory 
on cluster nodes, which variable is correct.

Thanks

Hi,

Agree that would be great to do since its an incompatible change
(going forward). Would you like to contribute a doc fix for this?

I do believe the other (client-oriented) components in the Hadoop
ecosystem, such as Pig, Hive, etc. can reuse HADOOP_HOME/etc. if set,
for some benefits (such as reading discovering the right cluster,
etc.). I'd say its primarily user benefit.

P.s. For 1.x, you may also want to instead use packages offered via
Apache Bigtop: https://cwiki.apache.org/confluence/display/BIGTOP/How+to+install+Hadoop+distribution+from+Bigtop,
which offers an integration-tested stack of ecosystem components (i.e.
proper, working version bundles).

Thanks, for your reply. It would be great to mention this in your 
tutorial on your web sites. Is the name of the 
HADOOP_PREFIX/HOME/INSTALL crucial to Hadoop, or it's just user benefit 
to set this variable.

Thanks for reply.

Hi Ondřej,

Due to a new packaging format, the Apache Hadoop 1.x has deprecated
the HADOOP_HOME env-var in favor of a new env-var called
'HADOOP_PREFIX'. You can set HADOOP_PREFIX, or set
HADOOP_HOME_WARN_SUPPRESS in your environment to a non-empty value to
suppress the warning.
