Chris Douglas updated HADOOP-6248:

In its nascent state, this seems to leave a lot as an exercise for the end
user. The idea is interesting and could beget a useful tool, but the current
version is principally a wrapper for default scripts and settings. It automates
some of the lore, which new users will appreciate, but the model is still
mostly an idea. Similar issues- where users submit scripts they found
themselves circulating- have been rejected in the past.
Wrapping shell scripts with other scripts is a problem inherent in our current
model; if we had Java drivers (e.g. HADOOP-61 yea; it's been discussed :) ),
then frameworks like this one could be written more elegantly using other,
driver tools.
General issues:
* Don't cut and paste code such as examples.
* Don't wrap the shell scripts with another level of indirection; they do
enough of that on their own
* We try not to include references to specific companies. Certainly Hadoop
should not be fetched from anywhere but Apache in this distribution.
