[jira] [Commented] (WHIRR-579) sun jdk install fails

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/WHIRR-579?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13246693#comment-13246693 ] 

Tom White commented on WHIRR-579:
---------------------------------

At this point I think the simplest way forward is to use OpenJDK. If this surfaces bugs when running on Hadoop etc, then let's file and fix them as they crop up. Also, this approach doesn't preclude using {{whirr.java.install-function}} to install other versions of Java using some custom code. 

I will create a patch to do this.

> Due to changes in licensing terms, automatic download from Oracle of the sunjdk is not working. Hence Hadoop installs but fails to launch. To add insult to injury, launch-cluster doesn't fail and I couldn't find a related message in the logs. Potential workarounds need to take into account that it seems like a human has to click on the dreaded Oracle TOS (disclaimer: I am not a lawyer and will never be). How to make that happen with whirr is unclear. The option of not supporting sunjdk seems unappealing as there is limited testing experience with it, I hear from people at Cloudera. But the apache hadoop compatibility page states that that sunjdk is needed only for building. Clarity on this would be helpful to plan ahead.
