[jira] [Commented] (HADOOP-8806) libhadoop.so: search java.library.path when calling dlopen

["Colin Patrick McCabe (JIRA)" <ji...@apache.org>]

    [ https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-8806?page=com.atlassian.jira.plugin.system.issuetabpanels:comment-tabpanel&focusedCommentId=13455372#comment-13455372 ] 

Colin Patrick McCabe commented on HADOOP-8806:
----------------------------------------------

One issue is that if we ever move from using {{dlopen}} to linking directory against libsnappy or libz, this trick won't work.  so maybe {{LD_LIBRARY_PATH}} is the better way after all?  Hmm.

> libhadoop calls {{dlopen}} to load {{libsnappy.so}} and {{libz.so}}.  These libraries can be bundled in the {{$HADOOP_ROOT/lib/native}} directory.  For example, the {{-Dbundle.snappy}} build option copies {{libsnappy.so}} to this directory.  However, snappy can't be loaded from this directory unless {{LD_LIBRARY_PATH}} is set to include this directory.
> Should we also search {{java.library.path}} when loading these libraries?
