Robert Joseph Evans commented on HADOOP-9422:
---------------------------------------------

We have run into this issue trying to use the latest HBase through storm, and also with trying to use slider on a custom app.  It really would be nice to get this in to a 2.X release at some point soon, so I don't have to hack it by setting HADOOP_HOME=/tmp/ which really just feels wrong to me.

The code compiles and the unit tests (related to this) pass for me (despite the age of the patch) I am +1, but as I have not been actively involved in Hadoop Development for quite a while I would like others to take a look too. [~jlowe] do you mind taking a look too?

I filed HADOOP-11206 for the one test error I found.

> 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 ).
