> I have been burned a few times lately while developing code by having the make sure that the hadoop jar in hbase/lib is exactly correct.  In my own deployment, there are actually 3 jars and a native library to keep in sync that hbase shouldn't have to know about explicitly.  A similar problem arises when using stock hbase with CDH3 because of the security patches changing the wire protocol.
> All of these problems could be avoided by not assuming that the hadoop library is in the local directory.  Moreover, I think it might be possible to assemble the distribution such that the compile time hadoop dependency is in a cognate directory to lib and is referenced using a default value for HADOOP_HOME.
> Does anybody have any violent antipathies to such a change?
