>
> Current build files of {{common}}, {{mapreduce}}, {{hdfs}} have their own
> unique ways of naming properties which otherwise have very same meaning. I.e.
> the locations of java source code are called {{core.src.dir}},
> {{mapred.src.dir}}, and {{hdfs.src.dir}} respectively.
> It makes modifications needed for all three projects to be very unique thus
> increasing the number of difference between builds of the projects.
