Allen Wittenauer commented on HADOOP-6255:
------------------------------------------
Are we trying to build a package that fits the local OS or are we trying to
build a package that has hadoop completely in one dir and is fairly generic?
If the former, trying to dictate where things like config files are installed
is going to break. Every OS has fairly specific rules and expectations (Linux
has LSB, Solaris has filesystems(5), NeXTStep... I mean, OS X, has something
documented somewhere, I'm sure, etc...). If the latter, then I'd make the
following changes:
a) drop the share level. it doesn't seem to serve a purpose
b) etc/ should contain configs
c) lib should contain hadoop-config.sh and *.so in addtion to *.jar
d) i take it hdfs/mapred/etc is a 0.21 thing? are we concerned about the
number of people that have 'hdfs' aliased to 'hadoop dfs'? or is it a
replacement for that?
e) var/tmp and var/logs should be defined
