Thanks [~aw] for the confirmation on this. I filed the JIRA HADOOP-13940 and quickly attached a patch to have a fix, are you interested to have a quick look, Allen? I think that will complete the command as you added in HADOOP-12366.

>             Project: Hadoop Common
>          Issue Type: Improvement
>          Components: common
>    Affects Versions: 3.0.0-alpha2

> The java version used by hadoop is controlled by JAVA_HOME variable defined in hadoop_env.sh. We log this information when HDFS starts in the log file. 
> {noformat}
> STARTUP_MSG:   java = 1.8.0_112
> {noformat}
> However, it is quite possible that a user might have many versions of java installed on his/her machine. Generally, users tend to check for the java version via 
> {noformat}
> java -version
> {noformat}
> This just means we are printing out the java version in the current shell path.
> This jira proposes adding a new simple command or an extension to existing hadoop version command where the current java version used by hadoop is also printed out.
> This avoids customer confusion when they are looking at if the java stack is properly configured. For example, checking if JCE is installed correctly.
> This is a very minor change that can be done by modifying hdfs.cmd or hdfs shell script in the /bin directory. Thanks to [~sujit] for bringing this to my attention.
