Suggest that HADOOP_CLASSPATH should be preserved in hadoop-env.sh.template ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HADOOP-6950 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-6950 Project: Hadoop Common Issue Type: Bug Components: scripts Reporter: Philip Zeyliger Priority: Trivial HADOOP_CLASSPATH tends to be used to add to bin/hadoop's classpath. Because of the way the comment is written, administrator's who customize hadoop-env.sh often inadvertently disable user's abilities to use it, by not including the present value of the variable. I propose we change the commented out suggestion code to include the present value. {noformat} # Extra Java CLASSPATH elements. Optional. -# export HADOOP_CLASSPATH= +# export HADOOP_CLASSPATH="<extra_entries>:$HADOOP_CLASSPATH" {noformat} -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - You can reply to this email to add a comment to the issue online.
