             Summary: hadoop scripts to support user native lib dirs
                 Key: HADOOP-8505
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-8505
             Project: Hadoop Common
          Issue Type: Improvement
          Components: scripts
    Affects Versions: 1.0.3
            Reporter: Steve Loughran
            Priority: Minor


you can set up a custom classpath with bin/hadoop through the HADOOP_CLASSPATH env, but there is no equivalent for the native libraries -the only way to get them picked up is to drop them into lib/native/${arch}/ , which impacts everything.

Having some HADOOP_NATIVE_LIB_PATH env variable would let people add new native binaries to Hadoop commands.
