Alejandro Abdelnur commented on HADOOP-6671: -------------------------------------------- Giri, Thanks for playing with the patch. Actually the layout after applying the patch (Maven module speaking) is: {code} trunk/pom.xml | |-- doclet/pom.xml | |-- root/pom.xml | |-- common-main/pom.xml | | | |-- common/pom.xml | | | |-- docs/pom.xml | | | |-- distro/pom.xml | |-- hdfs | |-- mapreduce {code} I assume you are testing it in a SVN checkout, the old common dir (empty) won't go away till you commit. The reason for calling the root Common 'common-main' and the child one 'common' is to be as close as possible to the artifact names (generated JARs). We could also go the way of using the full artifact names, then it could be: {code} trunk/pom.xml | |-- hadoop-doclet/pom.xml | |-- hadoop-root/pom.xml | |-- common/pom.xml | | | |-- hadoop-common/pom.xml | | | |-- hadoop-common-docs/pom.xml | | | |-- hadoop-common-distro/pom.xml | |-- hdfs | |-- mapreduce {code} This seemed to verbose to me, that is way I didn't go that path initially.
