----------------------------------------

Harsh 

Thanks for doing this. I look forward to general@ being less full of "what does 
"java not found" mean?" messages.

* could you add a bit of text to say "user@" is not the place to discuss 
installation problems related to any third party products that install some 
variant of Hadoop on people's desktops and servers. You're the one who ends up 
having to bounce off all the CDH-related queries -it would help you too.

* For the new "Invalid JIRA" link to paste into JIRA issues about this, I point 
to the distributions and Commercial support page on the wiki -something similar 
on the mailing lists page would avoid having to put any specific vendor links 
into the mailing lists page, and support a higher/more open update process. See 
http://wiki.apache.org/hadoop/InvalidJiraIssues

> We have users unnecessarily subscribing to and abusing the general@ list 
> mainly cause of its presence as the first option in the page 
> http://hadoop.apache.org/mailing_lists.html, and secondarily cause of its

> This is to at least address the first one that is causing growing pain to its 
> subscribers. Lets move it to the bottom of the presented list of lists.
