Status: Patch Available (was: Open)
> 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
> Assignee: Eric Yang
> Attachments: HADOOP-7521.patch
>
>
> 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.
