Steve Loughran commented on HADOOP-8607:
----------------------------------------
We could make it configurable with a property
{code}
<property>
<name>borat.id</name>
<value>@BigDataBorat</value>
</property>
{code}
This would let people reassign the borat references to @Devops_Borat without
rebuilding anything
> Replace references to "Dr Who" in codebase with @BigDataBorat

> Key: HADOOP-8607
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-8607
> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: util
> Affects Versions: 1.0.3, 2.0.0-alpha
> Reporter: Steve Loughran
> Assignee: Sanjay Radia
> Priority: Minor
> Original Estimate: 0.5h
> Remaining Estimate: 0.5h
>
> People complain that having "Dr Who" in the code causes confusion and isn't
> appropriate in Hadoop now that it has matured.
> I propose that we replace this anonymous user ID with {{@BigDataBorat}}. This
> will
> # Increase brand awareness of @BigDataBorat and their central role in the Big
> Data ecosystem.
> # Drive traffic to twitter, and increase their revenue. As contributors to
> the Hadoop platform, this will fund further Hadoop development.
> Patching the code is straightforward; no easy tests, though we could monitor
> twitter followers to determine rollout of the patch in the field.
