[jira] Created: (HADOOP-6417) Alternative Java Distributions in the
Hadoop Documention
Alternative Java Distributions in the Hadoop Documention
--------------------------------------------------------
Key: HADOOP-6417
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-6417
Project: Hadoop Common
Issue Type: Bug
Components: documentation
Affects Versions: 0.20.1
Reporter: Stephen Watt
Priority: Minor
Fix For: 0.20.2, 0.21.0, 0.22.0
The documentation on the Hadoop Site, Wiki and Download pages specify to use the Sun distribution of Java. While many people use and test with Sun Java, it is not always the appropriate choice, most notably when there is not a version available for the target OS. To help users In such situations we should provide them with information about the available alternatives.

[jira] Commented: (HADOOP-6417) Alternative Java Distributions in
the Hadoop Documention
Posted by "Stephen Watt (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>.
[ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-6417?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=12787173#action_12787173 ]
Stephen Watt commented on HADOOP-6417:
--------------------------------------
In a similar fashion to the existing Hadoop distributions Wiki page, I propose that we create a new "Java Distributions for Hadoop" Wiki page that describes and links to the available Java distributions. This page would initially point to a few distributions, and the list would be updated by user-feedback. Additionally, in each place on the Hadoop web site, Wiki and Download pages where a JRE/JVM download is mentioned, it would link back to the consolidated "Java Distributions for Hadoop" Wiki page.
