[jira] [Commented] (HADOOP-9422) HADOOP_HOME should not be required to be set to be able to launch commands using hadoop.util.Shell

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-9422?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13675522#comment-13675522 ] 

Enis Soztutar commented on HADOOP-9422:
---------------------------------------

The requirement as far as I can tell, was that windows support needs to find a native library winutils, and it looks under hadoop home. +1 on making it a soft dependency on non-windows playforms, and in a further issue change the winutils to be under hadoop native lib dir.

> Not sure why this is an enforced requirement especially in cases where a deployment is done using multiple tar-balls ( one each for common/hdfs/mapreduce/yarn ).
