[jira] [Commented] (HBASE-3533) Allow HBASE_LIBRARY_PATH env var to specify extra locations of native libs

["Esteban Gutierrez (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-3533?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=14085522#comment-14085522 ] 

Esteban Gutierrez commented on HBASE-3533:
------------------------------------------

Our docs say that {{HBASE_LIBRARY_PATH}}  should be used for the native libraries but turns out that we don't use it at all.

The {{bin/hbase}} script however is smart enough to configure {{JAVA_LIBRARY_PATH}} if the natives are deployed in the standard location under {{lib/native/$JAVA_PLATFORM}} or {{build/native/$JAVA_PLATFORM/lib}} and include {{HADOOP_JAVA_LIBRARY_PATH}} in {{JAVA_LIBRARY_PATH}} if defined. But if we pass {{HBASE_LIBRARY_PATH}} it has no effect. Attached a patch that includes {{HBASE_LIBRARY_PATH}} (if defined) into {{JAVA_LIBRARY_PATH}}.

> Would be handy when you have native libs at other spots on the system (eg I often want to test hadoop-lzo changes directly out of its build dir)
