             Summary: Add version info to Flume NG
                 Key: FLUME-1240
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLUME-1240
             Project: Flume
          Issue Type: Bug
          Components: Build
    Affects Versions: v1.2.0
            Reporter: Will McQueen
             Fix For: v1.2.0


A user should have a way to know which version of Flume is being used. This can 
be implemented by adding a 'version' command to the flume-ng shell script. For 
example:

     flume-ng version

...would result in the git commit # that the Flume NG build is based on. This 
would help with tracking a user's problems with using Flume.

I imagine that the build process would need to create some kind of buildinfo 
file that can be referenced by the script... that's just one idea. I'm 
interested in what others think.

Hadoop has the same feature: "hadoop version".
