Alejandro Abdelnur commented on HDFS-3135:
------------------------------------------
Bundling a Tomcat Server with HttpFS is just a convenience to work out of the
box from Hadoop TARBALL, you can grab the WAR file and deployed it any servlet
container implementing servlet 2.4 or higher. You'll also have to adapt some of
the httpfs scripts system properties settings for Tomcat.
On the other hand, if you use BigTop packages, only the WAR file and startup
scripts are used, and a bigtop-tomcat package provides the Tomcat server.
As I've commented in HDFS-3866, you could tweak the location from where the
tomcat TARBALL is being downloaded.
> Build a war file for HttpFS instead of packaging the server (tomcat) along
> with the application.

> Key: HDFS-3135
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-3135
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: build
> Affects Versions: 0.23.2
> Reporter: Ravi Prakash
> Labels: build
>
> There are several reason why web applications should not be packaged along
> with the server that is expected to serve them. For one not all organisations
> use vanilla tomcat. There are other reasons I won't go into.
> I'm filing this bug because some of our builds failed in trying to download
> the tomcat.tar.gz file. We then had to manually wget the file and place it in
> downloads/ to make the build pass. I suspect the download failed because of
> an overloaded server (Frankly, I don't really know). If someone has ideas,
> please share them.
