Owen O'Malley commented on HADOOP-6311:
---------------------------------------

Forking part of Android into Hadoop, while legal, is a really bad idea. *We*
will become responsible for maintaining the code and will need to track all of
the bug fixes that go into it. This is a huge maintenance burden.
This might be acceptable if you can get the Android project to make releases
that we can use. (Or if they split it out into a stand alone project that they
also use...)
For some related history, look at the pain that happened when we used a
snapshot build from Apache Commons CLI. We eventually had to roll back to the
released version including downgrading all of our usage of the new features.
