Eric Yang commented on HADOOP-7939:
-----------------------------------
bq. you mentioned that you don't want libraries under /native – fine, I can
change the default layout to put it into any other place. Do you want them to
be mixed with JARs under HADOOP_<SC>_HOME/lib ?
Only native library should go into HADOOP_PREFIX/lib. This will enable runtime
linker to discover native library efficiently. Jar files should be hosted in
HADOOP_PREFIX/share/hadoop/<SC> or HADOOP_PREFIX/share/hadoop/<SC>/lib because
they are platform independent files.
The current system is partitioned into:
{noformat}
HADOOP_PREFIX/share/hadoop/common
HADOOP_PREFIX/share/hadoop/common/lib (third party jars)
HADOOP_PREFIX/share/hadoop/hdfs
HADOOP_PREFIX/share/hadoop/hdfs/lib (third party jars)
HADOOP_PREFIX/share/hadoop/mapreduce
HADOOP_PREFIX/share/hadoop/mapreduce/lib (third party jars)
{noformat}
In addition, it also supports separated layout like this:
{noformat}
HADOOP_HDFS_HOME/share/hadoop/hdfs
HADOOP_HDFS_HOME/share/hadoop/hdfs/lib
YARN_HOME/share/hadoop/mapreduce
YARN_HOME/share/hadoop/mapreduce/lib
{noformat}
These features ensure that end user can deploy subcomponents as a merged layout
or independent layout. If you can preserve all of the above, then it will
satisfy end user requests. It should be fine to rename YARN_HOME to
HADOOP_YARN_HOME for consistency.
I am +0 for renaming libexec to HADOOP_PREFIX/lib/hadoop/libexec, but it is
less efficient from runtime linker perspective.

> h1. Introduction
> For the rest of this proposal it is assumed that the current set
> of Hadoop subcomponents is:
> * hadoop-common
> * hadoop-hdfs
> * hadoop-yarn
> * hadoop-mapreduce
> It must be noted that this is an open ended list, though. For example,
> implementations of additional frameworks on top of yarn (e.g. MPI) would
> also be considered a subcomponent.
> h1. Problem statement
> Currently there's an unfortunate coupling and hard-coding present at the
> level of launcher scripts, configuration scripts and Java implementation
> code that prevents us from treating all subcomponents of Hadoop independently
> of each other. In a lot of places it is assumed that bits and pieces
> from individual subcomponents *must* be located at predefined places
> and they can not be dynamically registered/discovered during the runtime.
> This prevents a truly flexible deployment of Hadoop 0.23.
> h1. Proposal
> NOTE: this is NOT a proposal for redefining the layout from HADOOP-6255.
> The goal here is to keep as much of that layout in place as possible,
> while permitting different deployment layouts.
> The aim of this proposal is to introduce the needed level of indirection and
> flexibility in order to accommodate the current assumed layout of Hadoop
> tarball
> deployments and all the other styles of deployments as well. To this end the
> following set of environment variables needs to be uniformly used in all of
> the subcomponent's launcher scripts, configuration scripts and Java code
> (<SC> stands for a literal name of a subcomponent). These variables are
> expected to be defined by <SC>-env.sh scripts and sourcing those files is
> expected to have the desired effect of setting the environment up correctly.
> # HADOOP_<SC>_HOME
> ## root of the subtree in a filesystem where a subcomponent is expected to
> be installed
> ## default value: $0/..
> # HADOOP_<SC>_JARS
> ## a subdirectory with all of the jar files comprising subcomponent's
> implementation
> ## default value: $(HADOOP_<SC>_HOME)/share/hadoop/$(<SC>)
> # HADOOP_<SC>_EXT_JARS
> ## a subdirectory with all of the jar files needed for extended
> functionality of the subcomponent (nonessential for correct work of the basic
> functionality)
> ## default value: $(HADOOP_<SC>_HOME)/share/hadoop/$(<SC>)/ext
> # HADOOP_<SC>_NATIVE_LIBS
> ## a subdirectory with all the native libraries that component requires
> ## default value: $(HADOOP_<SC>_HOME)/share/hadoop/$(<SC>)/native
> # HADOOP_<SC>_BIN
> ## a subdirectory with all of the launcher scripts specific to the client
> side of the component
> ## default value: $(HADOOP_<SC>_HOME)/bin
> # HADOOP_<SC>_SBIN
> ## a subdirectory with all of the launcher scripts specific to the
> server/system side of the component
> ## default value: $(HADOOP_<SC>_HOME)/sbin
> # HADOOP_<SC>_LIBEXEC
> ## a subdirectory with all of the launcher scripts that are internal to
> the implementation and should *not* be invoked directly
> ## default value: $(HADOOP_<SC>_HOME)/libexec
> # HADOOP_<SC>_CONF
> ## a subdirectory containing configuration files for a subcomponent
> ## default value: $(HADOOP_<SC>_HOME)/conf
> # HADOOP_<SC>_DATA
> ## a subtree in the local filesystem for storing component's persistent
> state
> ## default value: $(HADOOP_<SC>_HOME)/data
> # HADOOP_<SC>_LOG
> ## a subdirectory for subcomponents's log files to be stored
> ## default value: $(HADOOP_<SC>_HOME)/log
> # HADOOP_<SC>_RUN
> ## a subdirectory with runtime system specific information
> ## default value: $(HADOOP_<SC>_HOME)/run
> # HADOOP_<SC>_TMP
> ## a subdirectory with temprorary files
> ## default value: $(HADOOP_<SC>_HOME)/tmp
