Allen Wittenauer commented on HADOOP-9902:
------------------------------------------
bq. The way I'm approaching it is this: if this was a from-scratch
implementation would it be reasonable.
I think that's fair as long as (and I know we've talked about it before, but to
clarify to the wider audience) that we also keep in mind that in some ways
we're hamstrung by history. If only we could _completely_ break
compatibility... how different this change would be! (#1: HADOOP_OPTS would
die in a mysterious fire.) There are lots of things that are 'not proper'
because of that. :(
bq. IOW, reviewing a diff is, in my opinion, futile.
Absolutely correct. This was never intended to be reviewed as a diff in the
traditional sense.
