Travis Thompson created HADOOP-10409: ----------------------------------------
Summary: Bzip2 error message isn't clear Key: HADOOP-10409 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-10409 Project: Hadoop Common Issue Type: Improvement Components: io Affects Versions: 2.3.0 Reporter: Travis Thompson If you compile hadoop without {{bzip2-devel}} installed (on RHEL), bzip2 doesn't get compiled into libhadoop, as is expected. This is not documented however and the error message thrown from {{hadoop checknative -a}} is not helpful. {noformat} [tthompso@eat1-hcl4060 bin]$ hadoop checknative -a 14/03/13 00:51:02 WARN bzip2.Bzip2Factory: Failed to load/initialize native-bzip2 library system-native, will use pure-Java version 14/03/13 00:51:02 INFO zlib.ZlibFactory: Successfully loaded & initialized native-zlib library Native library checking: hadoop: true /export/apps/hadoop/hadoop-2.3.0.li7-1-bin/lib/native/libhadoop.so.1.0.0 zlib: true /lib64/libz.so.1 snappy: true /usr/lib64/libsnappy.so.1 lz4: true revision:99 bzip2: false 14/03/13 00:51:02 INFO util.ExitUtil: Exiting with status 1 {noformat} You can see that it wasn't compiled in here: {noformat} [mislam@eat1-hcl4060 ~]$ strings /export/apps/hadoop/latest/lib/native/libhadoop.so | grep initIDs Java_org_apache_hadoop_io_compress_lz4_Lz4Compressor_initIDs Java_org_apache_hadoop_io_compress_lz4_Lz4Decompressor_initIDs Java_org_apache_hadoop_io_compress_snappy_SnappyCompressor_initIDs Java_org_apache_hadoop_io_compress_snappy_SnappyDecompressor_initIDs Java_org_apache_hadoop_io_compress_zlib_ZlibCompressor_initIDs Java_org_apache_hadoop_io_compress_zlib_ZlibDecompressor_initIDs {noformat} After installing bzip2-devel and recompiling: {noformat} [tthompso@eat1-hcl4060 ~]$ hadoop checknative -a 14/03/14 23:00:08 INFO bzip2.Bzip2Factory: Successfully loaded & initialized native-bzip2 library system-native 14/03/14 23:00:08 INFO zlib.ZlibFactory: Successfully loaded & initialized native-zlib library Native library checking: hadoop: true /export/apps/hadoop/hadoop-2.3.0.11-2-bin/lib/native/libhadoop.so.1.0.0 zlib: true /lib64/libz.so.1 snappy: true /usr/lib64/libsnappy.so.1 lz4: true revision:99 bzip2: true /lib64/libbz2.so.1 {noformat} {noformat} tthompso@esv4-hcl261:~/hadoop-common(li-2.3.0⚡) » strings ./hadoop-common-project/hadoop-common/target/native/target/usr/local/lib/libhadoop.so |grep initIDs Java_org_apache_hadoop_io_compress_lz4_Lz4Compressor_initIDs Java_org_apache_hadoop_io_compress_lz4_Lz4Decompressor_initIDs Java_org_apache_hadoop_io_compress_snappy_SnappyCompressor_initIDs Java_org_apache_hadoop_io_compress_snappy_SnappyDecompressor_initIDs Java_org_apache_hadoop_io_compress_zlib_ZlibCompressor_initIDs Java_org_apache_hadoop_io_compress_zlib_ZlibDecompressor_initIDs Java_org_apache_hadoop_io_compress_bzip2_Bzip2Compressor_initIDs Java_org_apache_hadoop_io_compress_bzip2_Bzip2Decompressor_initIDs {noformat} The error message thrown should hint that perhaps libhadoop wasn't compiled with the bzip2 headers installed. It would also be nice if compile time dependencies were documented somewhere... :) -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.2#6252)
