Allen Wittenauer commented on HADOOP-7521:
------------------------------------------
bq. Allen, the isolated tarball (pkgname-version) is still supported by tar
profile. We are discussing merged layout here.
If "merged layout" is:
bq. 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.
then I'm still -1.
That is just a flawed idea to try to treat tar as equivalent of rpm. They
aren't.
> 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.
