> We use 32-bit jvm for TaskTrackers. 
> Sometimes our users want to call 64-bit JNI libraries from their tasks.
> This requires tasks to be running on 64-bit jvm.
> On Solaris, you can simply use -d32/-d64 to choose, but on Linux, it's on a completely different package.
> So far, tasks run on the same jvm version as the TaskTracker.
> {noformat}
> // use same jvm as parent
> File jvm =   new File(new File(System.getProperty("java.home"), "bin"), "java");
> {noformat}
> Is it possible to let users provide a java home path 
> or let them choose from a pre-selected list of paths?
