.bash_profile doest run on su user

I have created a bash_profile in centos

#vi /home/hadoop/.bash_profile

as follow:

# .bash_profile
# User specific environment and startup programs
export j=1

However, when I do

[root@hadoop1 ~]# su hadoop
[hadoop@hadoop1 root]$ echo $j

[hadoop@hadoop1 root]$

I suppose my .bash_prfile shoud run for each su login?

The .bash_profile won't load unless you use one of the -, -l, or --login options or login directly with that user. Checkout this link is from the Unix & Linux stack exchange. You can also run man su in the shell to see all the available options.
