Doug Cutting commented on HADOOP-1069:
--------------------------------------

> Our goal is to assign "Jute" a name that is short, memorable and works with 
> our goals of defining a top-level package that can be used in many contexts.

The record package is currently a part of Hadoop.  If it moves out of Hadoop 
then it will require a different name, outside of the org.apache.hadoop 
package.  If and when that ever happens, then the package name would probably 
be changed to match the project name, just as many org.apache.nutch packages 
were renamed to be org.apache.hadoop when Hadoop was split from Nutch.  Until 
then, I see no problems with the package name org.apache.hadoop.record that 
warrant changing it.  It is in accord with our naming guidelines and 
org.apache.hadoop.jute is not: all but project names are descriptive.

> jute was the original name of the hadoop record i/o component. IMHO, it is 
> easier to pronounce, easier to remember and has already stuck among its 
> users. This renaming should be done while there isn't a large codebase using 
> jute, otherwise it will be very difficult later. rcc will be renamed jrc 
> (jute record compiler).
