Hello,

When flume 1.3.0 or 1.3.1 is built from a path that contains the string
"hadoop" in it (ie: /home/user/hadoop_components/flume), the test case
TestFileChannel fails.

The reason it fails is because it can't find the correct location of the
hadoop jar file - the function findHadoopJar in TestFileChannel.java
looks for the hadoop jar path by searching for the string "hadoop" in
the property java.class.path, and returns the first match of the search.
This is not necessarily the correct location of the hadoop jar.

Would you agree that the right thing to do is to look for the name of
the hadoop jar in the classpath (ie: hadoop-core-1.1.1.jar), instead of
looking for the string "hadoop"?

Best regards,
Aline Guedes

That sounds correct. Do you want to create a JIRA and if you have one, attach a patch?

I created a JIRA at https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLUME-1920. I
will work on a patch and attach to it.

Great! Thanks!
