Bikas Saha created HADOOP-8847: ---------------------------------- Summary: Change untar to use Java API instead of spawning tar process Key: HADOOP-8847 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-8847 Project: Hadoop Common Issue Type: Improvement Reporter: Bikas Saha Assignee: Bikas Saha
Currently FileUtil.unTar() spawns tar utility to do the work. Tar may not be present on all platforms by default eg. Windows. So changing this to use JAVA API's would help make it more cross-platform. FileUtil.unZip() uses the same approach. -- This message is automatically generated by JIRA.
