Eric Yang commented on HADOOP-7521: ----------------------------------- Milind, we are not creating tarbomb here. A tarbomb means the tarball does not have a PREFIX directory. It extracts many files into the working directory. That is not what has been proposed here. We are proposing a tarball with a PREFIX directory named usr instead of hadoop-[module]-[version]. See: http://www.linfo.org/tarbomb.html for more concise information about tarbomb. > 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
