             Summary: Use branch to host custom build artifacts
                 Key: HBASE-6898
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HBASE-6898
             Project: HBase
          Issue Type: Bug
            Reporter: Jesse Yates
            Assignee: Jesse Yates


Based on conversation here: 
http://mail-archives.apache.org/mod_mbox/hbase-dev/201209.mbox/%3CCAPcDmSvS-MpZLGXU0gpYUYz9JoqghcZEngML_JYEtWPCXhYvAw%40mail.gmail.com%3E

In short, we should have a single, committer accessible and audit-able place to 
store custom build artifacts for HBase.

Occasionally, we need to build custom artifacts for HBase that haven't made it 
into the upstream projects. In the past we have hosted them in various 
committer's people.apache.org/ publicly visible object hosting sites (which 
just need a certain file structure to work as maven repositories). While the 
best course of action is to get the upstream projects to release a version with 
the change we require, this is not always possible immediately and for the 
short term we need the modified artifact. 

This ticket would add a branch to the hbase source and update the pom to point 
to the apache visible svn tree to act as the pseudo-maven respositories. This 
gives us a low friction, auditable, committter accessible place to upload 
custom build artifacts. They can also be easily removed as the upstream 
projects release new versions.
