The issue is not so much where qfs.jar comes from as where the implementation of Hadoop FileSystem goes -the big question being: should it live in your (OSS) codebase rather than Hadoop's? That would keep it 100% in sync with your back end, give you the release schedule to suit you, and ensure that bugreps end up in your bug reporting tools. > This way your nightly > builds will work and the tests can catch any qfs related regressions. > That regression testing is going to have be on QFS -which means your infrastructure, real or virtual.
