Download of commons-daemon TAR should not be under target
---------------------------------------------------------
Key: HDFS-2294
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-2294
Project: Hadoop HDFS
Issue Type: Improvement
Components: build
Affects Versions: 0.23.0
Reporter: Alejandro Abdelnur
Fix For: 0.23.0
Committed HDFS-2289 downloads commons-daemon TAR in the hadoop-hdfs/target/,
earlier patches for HDFS-2289 were using hadoop-hdfs/download/ as the location
for the download.
The motivation not to use the 'target/' directory is that on every clean build
the TAR will be downloaded from Apache archives. Using a 'download' directory
this happens once per workspace.
The patch was also adding the 'download/' directory to the .gitignore file (it
should also be svn ignored).
Besides downloading it only once, it allows to do a clean build in disconnected
mode.
IMO, the later is a nice developer capability.
