Hadoop native libraries not found on OS/X

Question

I have downloaded hadoop source code from github and compiled with the native option:

mvn package -Pdist,native -DskipTests -Dtar -Dmaven.javadoc.skip=true

I then copied the .dylib files to the $HADOOP_HOME/lib

cp -p hadoop-common-project/hadoop-common/target/hadoop-common-2.7.1/lib/native/*.dylib /usr/local/Cellar/hadoop/2.7.2/libexec/share/hadoop/lib

The LD_LIBRARY_PATH was updated and hdfs restarted:

 echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
 /usr/local/Cellar/hadoop/2.7.2/libexec/lib:
 /usr/local/Cellar/hadoop/2.7.2/libexec/share/hadoop/common/lib:/Library/Java/JavaVirtualMachines/jdk1.8.0_92.jdk/Contents/Home//jre/lib

(Note: this also means that the answer to Hadoop “Unable to load native-hadoop library for your platform” error on docker-spark? does not work for me..)

But checknative still returns uniformly false:

$stop-dfs.sh && start-dfs.sh && hadoop checknative

Answer 1

To get this working on a fresh install of macOS 10.12, I had to do the following:

1. Install build dependencies using homebrew:

   brew install cmake maven openssl protobuf@2.5 snappy
   

2. Check out hadoop source code

   git clone https://github.com/apache/hadoop.git
   cd hadoop
   git checkout rel/release-2.7.3
   

3. Apply the below patch to the build:

   diff --git a/hadoop-common-project/hadoop-common/src/CMakeLists.txt b/hadoop-common-project/hadoop-common/src/CMakeLists.txt

4. Build hadoop from source:

   mvn package -Pdist,native -DskipTests -Dtar -Dmaven.javadoc.skip=true
   

5. Specify JAVA_LIBRARY_PATH when running hadoop:

   $ JAVA_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/opt/openssl/lib:/opt/local/lib:/usr/lib hadoop-dist/target/hadoop-2.7.3/bin/hadoop checknative -a
   16/10/14 20:16:32 INFO bzip2.Bzip2Factory: Successfully loaded & initialized native-bzip2 library libbz2.dylib
   16/10/14 20:16:32 INFO zlib.ZlibFactory: Successfully loaded & initialized native-zlib library
   Native library checking:
   hadoop:  true /Users/admin/Desktop/hadoop/hadoop-dist/target/hadoop-2.7.3/lib/native/libhadoop.dylib
   zlib:    true /usr/lib/libz.1.dylib
   snappy:  true /usr/local/lib/libsnappy.1.dylib
   lz4:     true revision:99
   bzip2:   true /usr/lib/libbz2.1.0.dylib
   openssl: true /usr/local/opt/openssl/lib/libcrypto.dylib
   

Answer 2

The needed step is to copy the *.dylib from the git sources build dir into the $HADOOP_HOME/<common dir>lib dir for your platform . For OS/X installed via brew it is:

cp /git/hadoop/hadoop-dist/target/hadoop-2.7.1/lib/native/ /usr/local/Cellar/hadoop/2.7.2/libexec/share/hadoop/common/

We can see the required libs there now:

$ll /usr/local/Cellar/hadoop/2.7.2/libexec/share/hadoop/common/*.dylib
-rwxr-xr-x  1 macuser  staff  149100 Jun 13 13:44 /usr/local/Cellar/hadoop/2.7.2/libexec/share/hadoop/common/libhadoop.dylib
-rwxr-xr-x  1 macuser  staff  149100 Jun 13 13:44 /usr/local/Cellar/hadoop/2.7.2/libexec/share/hadoop/common/libhadoop.1.0.0.dylib

And now the hadoop checknative command works:

$hadoop checknative

6/06/15 09:10:59 INFO zlib.ZlibFactory: Successfully loaded & initialized native-zlib library
Native library checking:
hadoop:  true /usr/local/Cellar/hadoop/2.7.2/libexec/share/hadoop/common/libhadoop.dylib
zlib:    true /usr/lib/libz.1.dylib
snappy:  false
lz4:     true revision:99
bzip2:   false
openssl: false build does not support openssl.

Answer 3

There are some missing steps in @andrewdotn's response above:

1) For step (3), create the patch by adding the text posted to a text file e.g. "patch.txt", and then execute "git apply patch.txt"

2) In addition to copying the files as directed by javadba, certain applications also require that you set:

export HADOOP_OPTS="-Djava.library.path=${HADOOP_HOME}/lib/native"
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$LD_LIBRARY_PATH:${HADOOP_HOME}/lib/native
export JAVA_LIBRARY_PATH=$JAVA_LIBRARY_PATH:${HADOOP_HOME}/lib/native

Answer 4

As an update to @andrewdotn answer, here is the patch.txt file to be used with Hadoop 2.8.1:
