bintar created tarball should use a common directory for prefix
---------------------------------------------------------------
Key: HADOOP-7521
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-7521
Project: Hadoop Common
Issue Type: Bug
Components: build
Affects Versions: 0.23.0
Environment: Java 6, Maven, Linux/Mac
Reporter: Eric Yang
The binary tarball contains the directory structure like:
{noformat}
hadoop-common-0.23.0-SNAPSHOT-bin/bin
/etc/hadoop
/libexec
/sbin
/share/hadoop/common
{noformat}
It would be nice to rename the prefix directory to a common directory where it
is common to all Hadoop stack software. Therefore, user can untar hbase,
hadoop, zookeeper, pig, hive all into the same location and run from the top
level directory without manually renaming them to the same directory again.
By default the prefix directory can be /usr. Hence, it could merge with the
base OS.
