Eric Yang commented on HADOOP-6255:
-----------------------------------
$PREFIX/var/lib is configurable by xml configuration. User has the full
control of where to put this directory for multi-node deployment. For single
node deployment, I put in /var/lib/hadoop for good practice.
For $PREFIX/lib, the native hadoop c libraries goes here. For now,
$PREFIX/share/hadoop is chosen for backward compatibility reason of
HADOOP_HOME. Once we moved to maven and have separated jar file for each
module, it will be easier to modularize and put jar files into /usr/lib/hadoop
or /usr/lib/java/hadoop.
I chose to symlink /etc/hadoop to /usr/share/hadoop/conf for backward
compatibility reason of HADOOP_HOME. For the same reason that /etc/grub.conf
is symlinked to /boot/grub/grub.conf. I could make the packaging system do the
reverse, if hadoop community prefers this.
