---------------------------------------
Can we make this a blocker?

> Project: Hadoop Common
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: util
> Affects Versions: 0.15.3, 0.16.4, 0.18.3, 0.19.1, 1.0.3, 2.0.0-alpha

> People complain that having "Dr Who" in the code causes confusion and isn't
> appropriate in Hadoop now that it has matured.
> I propose that we replace this anonymous user ID with {{@BigDataBorat}}. This
> will
> # Increase brand awareness of @BigDataBorat and their central role in the Big
> Data ecosystem.
> # Drive traffic to twitter, and increase their revenue. As contributors to
> the Hadoop platform, this will fund further Hadoop development.
> Patching the code is straightforward; no easy tests, though we could monitor
> twitter followers to determine rollout of the patch in the field.
