Arvind Prabhakar commented on SQOOP-514:
----------------------------------------
@Jarcec - typically most Hadoop related projects tend to create the binary
distribution as a superset of source distribution. You could for example, take
a release's binary distribution which contains sources and build it with any
changes that you need. Sqoop 1 has had a similar layout for binary distribution
in all its releases.
The other aspect of this is that there are top-level files such as LICENSE,
NOTICE, README etc which need to reside at the root of the distribution - much
like they reside at the root of the source distribution as well. Having a bin
distribution that includes the source distribution as well in it will keep
things updated as and when these top-level files change.

> The current layout of the generated tarball is very different from the source
