Hi Enis, Thank you so much for your help. The explaination helps a lot.
Since I am trying to build the old version according to the jiras, it will be really great if I can get the source code from svn. I followed your instruction and tried to check from hadoop-common's repository ( http://svn.apache.org/repos/asf/hadoop/common/trunk/hadoop-common-project/hadoop-common/), but didn't manage to find the hbase part. But inspired by your instruction, I found https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/INFRA-2641, which talks about hbase as a new TLP. In this jira, Stack comments that hbase's svn is moved to root directory instead of a subdir in /hadoop. So I further tried to find hbase from svn.apache.org/repos/asf/hadoop. But still got no luck there. I think it's because hbase is already moved out and I may only get it from an older revision. So I am trying to "svn co" the hadoop directory and see if I can get anything there by reverting to older revisions. Thanks a lot for your concern. It would be greatly appreciated if you can point out if I didn't follow your suggestions correctly, or I did something wrong.
