Andrzej Bialecki commented on HADOOP-2019:
-------------------------------------------
The Tar version available from commons sandbox has a subtle bug when creating
tar files (it appends only one null block at the end of archive, instead of two
empty blocks as expected by GNU tar). Ant <tar> task contains a fixed copy of
the same class.
> DistributedFileCache should support .tgz files in addition to jars and zip
> files
