Stephan Ewen commented on FLINK-1330:
-------------------------------------
The critical issue is that it is hard to find where the result of the build is?
There is more to that than the bin folder: The logs, libs, configuration.
What we could do is have the maven build create a softlink to the target
directory. That way, we can avoid messing with complex directory resolution in
different scenarios.
> Restructure directory layout

> Key: FLINK-1330
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-1330
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Build System, Documentation
> Reporter: Max Michels
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: usability
>
> When building Flink, the build results can currently be found under
> "flink-root/flink-dist/target/flink-$FLINKVERSION-incubating-SNAPSHOT-bin/flink-$YARNVERSION-$FLINKVERSION-incubating-SNAPSHOT/".
> I think we could improve the directory layout with the following:
> - provide the bin folder in the root by default
> - let the start up and submissions scripts in bin assemble the class path
> - in case the project hasn't been build yet, inform the user
> The changes would make it easier to work with Flink from source.
