[jira] Updated: (HADOOP-4042) bin/hadoop should check `which java` to find java

     [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-4042?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:all-tabpanel ]

Michael Bieniosek updated HADOOP-4042:
--------------------------------------

    Description: 
Currently, the bin/hadoop script tries to find java in JAVA_HOME/bin/java.  If JAVA_HOME is not set, it errors out.

Instead, I think it should check `which java 2>/dev/null` to see if there is a java on the user's PATH.  If a java is on the user's path, the script should just set JAVA=java.
