That seems reasonable. The alternative would be to have a Common TLP, which we shouldn't necessarily dismiss, since more important than the size of the codebase is that there's a community to support the codebase, as there certainly is here. Having said that, a Common TLP lacks a clear 'mission' since it doesn't offer any standalone services. Also, it may diminish in utility over time if pieces are moved into HDFS, MapReduce and YARN. > Yes, MR/YARN will need some changes in Common occasionally, but core pieces > like RPC have been maintained by HDFS folks over time anyway e.g. move to > ProtoBufs were led by Sanjay, Suresh, Todd, Jitendra et al. Does the work to use versioned protocol buffers for RPC mean that different releases of HDFS and MapReduce can work together yet? If not, this is something we should be working towards (although that shouldn't block a move to TLPs). > > We can move SequenceFile into MR if necessary and keep same package names for > compatibility. There are also Hadoop tools like distcp, Hadoop archives, Streaming, etc, which should go with MapReduce.
