------------------------------------------

Jianbin, Thanks for your interest.

I was told that native compilation / functionality is not working on Solaris as well. So, it looks like the issue is not just MacOS specific.

The way I see this, the core issue is with native compilation being broken. This JIRA is just providing a workaround that will serve a (hopefully) temporary purpose. I'd rather keep the workaround simple (given that there are other platforms as well that might need to be considered). Please let me know if you are fine with this.

> The test-patch script in Hadoop source runs a native compile with the patch. On platforms like MAC, there are issues with the native compile that make it difficult to use test-patch. This JIRA is to try and provide an option to make the native compilation optional.
