Zhao is looking for the sources for the current hadoop dependency,
which is currently set to 0.20.2-SNAPSHOT. The hadoop-core project
doesn't currently publish source attachments alongside their
snapshots, so the only option would be to pull sources from the
hadoop-core svn repo using the datestamp of the latest snapshot. This
is a pain to maintain because in mahout the hadoop-core snapshots get
updated on an automatic basis.

I've been digging through the hadoop mailing list archives and can't
find any discussion of publishing attached sources. Is anyone in this
group that familiar enough with this aspect of the hadoop dev process
to comment? If not, I'll go ahead and ask about it on the hadoop-dev
list.

Mahout should also depend on a fixed, point in time snapshot which
would make the maintenance of a personal copy of the sources easier.
This would cause less problems for mahout devs because the project
would not be building against a moving target and new issues that
potentially appear.

It is my understanding that we can't depend on 0.20.1 due do bugs in
the release version that have been fixed in the snapshots.
