Hi Radim, In general, Maven plugins are built and deployed to a repository. Then, Maven fetches the precompiled binaries from this repository based on a specific version number in the pom. This is how Maven plugins work in general. not specific to this proposal.
I did experiment with bundling the Maven plugins with the main Hadoop source in HADOOP-8887; however, this is not really feasible. Hence the proposal for a separate sub-project here. So basically the summary is the Maven workflow wouldn't change. Hope this helps.
