[ http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-567?page=comments#action_12439291 ] Owen O'Malley commented on HADOOP-567: --------------------------------------
I'll change the script name and the field names. The point of util.VersionStamp is isolating the upstream code from the possiblity that the BuildStamp class wasn't generated. In particular, it makes that system compilable even if the script fails for some reason (or isn't called). A typical case that would be if someone is using eclipse or some other IDE without using the ant build script. I hadn't really looked at the Java Package stuff, but it seems like serious overkill for this context. > The build script should record the Hadoop version into the build > ---------------------------------------------------------------- > > Key: HADOOP-567 > URL: http://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-567 > Project: Hadoop > Issue Type: New Feature > Components: util > Affects Versions: 0.6.2 > Reporter: Owen O'Malley > Assigned To: Owen O'Malley > Fix For: 0.7.0 > > Attachments: version.patch > > > It would be good to compile the Hadoop version, subversion revision, and > compilation date into the hadoop.jar file. > The web/ui would display the version for each of the server home page. > I'd also add "bin/hadoop version" to print the version information. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA. - If you think it was sent incorrectly contact one of the administrators: http://issues.apache.org/jira/secure/Administrators.jspa - For more information on JIRA, see: http://www.atlassian.com/software/jira
