                 Key: HADOOP-1147
                 URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-1147
             Project: Hadoop
          Issue Type: Improvement
            Reporter: Doug Cutting
         Assigned To: Doug Cutting
            Priority: Minor


We should remove @author tags from the source code.  We give contributors 
credit in at least three places (Jira, subversion and CHANGES.txt).  Many files 
have been substantially re-written by a range of contributors and their @author 
tags are no longer accurate.  Also, @author tags imply individual ownership, 
when we should rather strive for community ownership.
