[jira] [Commented] (BIGTOP-25) Standardize JAVA_HOME detection
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/BIGTOP-25?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13129360#comment-13129360 ]
Roman Shaposhnik commented on BIGTOP-25:
----------------------------------------
Solving this in its full glory is very important but unlikely for 0.2.0. Thus I'm looking for a Bigtop-level solution
to unblock our package installation (currently all sorts of things fail because we simply can't do anything without
JAVA_HOME being set).
Now, as for Bigtop here's what I would like to propose: we take the attached code and put it into the post-install
phase of our packages. This code will either find Java and update and explicit setting of JAVA_HOME in an
appropriate /etc/default/foo file or it will issue a warning during package installation telling user to do it.
Thoughts?

> The Hadoop packages go through some effort (see /usr/lib/hadoop-0.20/bin/hadoop-config.sh) to guess at a good JVM to use if JAVA_HOME isn't set. For example, if both OpenJDK and Oracle JDK are installed, hadoop-config.sh will choose Oracle every time. Other packages that Bigtop integrates, don't follow the same practice (ZK, Pig, etc.). It would be nice to have this common code shared.
