[jira] Created: (HADOOP-4603) Installation on Solaris needs
additional PATH setting
Installation on Solaris needs additional PATH setting
-----------------------------------------------------
Key: HADOOP-4603
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-4603
Project: Hadoop Core
Issue Type: Bug
Components: documentation
Affects Versions: 0.18.2
Environment: Solaris 10 x86
Reporter: Jon Brisbin
A default installation as outlined in the docs won't start on Solaris 10 x86. The "whoami" utility is in path "/usr/ucb" on Solaris 10, which isn't in the standard PATH environment variable unless the user has added that specifically. The documentation should reflect this.
Solaris 10 also seemed to throw NPEs if you didn't explicitly set the IP address to bind the servers to. Simply overriding the IP address fixes the problem.

Component/s: (was: documentation)
fs
Hadoop Flags: [Incompatible change]
Currently, we don't require sh, cut and sed. These changes may break existing systems. BTW, we do assume bash.

--------------------------------------
Maybe its better to use the who command anyway, since it is present on Solaris, Linux, Darwin
i.e.
# who -q | cut -f 1 -d " "| grep -v \# | head -1

--------------------------------------
ok, good to know...
bash might be missing on systems like Solaris and BSD though and/or in a different path.

Stack traces of any NPEs would be handy.

Kohsuke Kawaguchi commented on HADOOP-4603:
-------------------------------------------
I think a better change is for Hadoop to simply try /usr/ucb/whoami if exec whoami fails. This code executes only once, so I don't see any downside of trying multiple locations for better user experience.
Another possibility is to use JNA (http://jna.dev.java.net/) and make a libc call from within Java.
