The switch to HADOOP_PREFIX back in 0.21 or so didn't really accomplish what it was intended to do and only helped confuse the situation. _HOME is a much more standard suffix and is, in fact, used for everything in Hadoop except for the top level project home. I think it would be beneficial to use HADOOP_HOME in the shell code as the Official(tm) variable, still honoring HADOOP_PREFIX if it is set. -- This message was sent by Atlassian JIRA (v6.3.4#6332)
