   === Making use of Hadoop Native Libraries in HBase
   
  -The Hadoop shared library has a bunch of facility including compression libraries and fast crc'ing. To make this facility available to HBase, do the following. HBase/Hadoop will fall back to use alternatives if it cannot find the native library versions -- or fail outright if you asking for an explicit compressor and there is no alternative available.

  -If you see the following in your HBase logs, you know that HBase was unable to locate the Hadoop native libraries:

  +First make sure of your Hadoop. Fix this message if you are seeing it starting Hadoop processes:
  +----
  +16/02/09 22:40:24 WARN util.NativeCodeLoader: Unable to load native-hadoop library for your platform... using builtin-java classes where applicable
  +----
  +It means is not properly pointing at its native libraries or the native libs were compiled for another platform.
  +Fix this first.

  +Then if you see the following in your HBase logs, you know that HBase was unable to locate the Hadoop native libraries:

  -If the libraries loaded successfully, the WARN message does not show.
  +If the libraries loaded successfully, the WARN message does not show. Usually this means you are good to go but read on.
   
   Let's presume your Hadoop shipped with a native library that suits the platform you are running HBase on.
   To check if the Hadoop native library is available to HBase, run the following tool (available in  Hadoop 2.1 and greater):
  
positive.code: ----
  Above shows that the native hadoop library is not available in HBase context.
  
  To fix the above, either copy the Hadoop native libraries local or symlink to them if the Hadoop and HBase stalls are adjacent in the filesystem.
  You could also point at their location by setting the `LD_LIBRARY_PATH` environment variable.
  
  Where the JVM looks to find native libraries is "system dependent" (See `java.lang.System#loadLibrary(name)`). On linux, by default, is going to look in _lib/native/PLATFORM_ where `PLATFORM`      is the label for the platform your HBase is installed on.
  On a local linux machine, it seems to be the concatenation of the java properties `os.name` and `os.arch` followed by whether 32 or 64 bit.
  
negative.code: ----
  So in this case, the PLATFORM string is `Linux-amd64-64`.
  Copying the Hadoop native libraries or symlinking at _lib/native/Linux-amd64-64_     will ensure they are found.
  Rolling restart after you have made this change.
  
  Here is an example of how you would set up the symlinks.
  Let the hadoop and hbase installs be in your home directory. Assume your hadoop native libs
  are at ~/hadoop/lib/native. Assume you are on a Linux-amd64-64 platform. In this case,
  you would do the following to link the hadoop native lib so hbase could find them.
  ----
  ...
  $ mkdir -p ~/hbaseLinux-amd64-64 -> /home/stack/hadoop/lib/native/lib/native/
  $ cd ~/hbase/lib/native/
  $ ln -s ~/hadoop/lib/native Linux-amd64-64
  $ ls -la
  # Linux-amd64-64 -> /home/USER/hadoop/lib/native
  ...
  ----
  
  If you see PureJavaCrc32C in a stack track or if you see something like the below in a perf trace, then native is not working; you are using the java CRC functions rather than native:
  ----
    5.02%  perf-53601.map      [.] Lorg/apache/hadoop/util/PureJavaCrc32C;.update

  See link:https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-11927[HBASE-11927 Use Native Hadoop Library for HFile checksum (And flip default from CRC32 to CRC32C)],
  for more on native checksumming support. See in particular the release note for how to check if your hardware to see if your processor has support for hardware CRCs.

  Here is example of how to point at the Hadoop libs with `LD_LIBRARY_PATH`      environment variable:
