Allen Wittenauer commented on HADOOP-7521: ------------------------------------------ -1 This completely breaks with customary tar ball behavior. The expectation that when you unpack a tarball is that it will be in (pkgname)-(version). Users are *expecting* to have component separation and in many cases *prefer* component separation. If someone wants a more integrated experience, they'll use the rpm, deb, etc, packaging. > 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. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
