Milind Bhandarkar commented on HADOOP-1815:
-------------------------------------------
Just want to know other users' opinions.
Would it be a good idea for building a hadoop ecosystem, to separate all these
client codes into separate projects?
(one project - one artifact is a good thing (tm). Doug agrees on this, based on
his previous comments. For growing hadoop ecosystem, we need several artifacts,
that can evolve separately, and faster.)
For example, how about separating distcp as a hadoop-dependent, but separate
project to provide a high-bandwidth distributed copy ?
How about separating streaming into a separate projects as a mechanism for
using time-tested ways (aka stdin, and stdout) for passing data between plugins
and hadoop ?

> Key: HADOOP-1815
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HADOOP-1815
> Project: Hadoop
> Issue Type: Bug
> Components: build
> Affects Versions: 0.14.0
> Environment: All
> Reporter: Milind Bhandarkar
> Fix For: 0.15.0
>
>
> For the ease of deployment, one should not have to change the server jars,
> and restart clusters, when minor features on the client side are changed.
> This requireds separating client and server jars for hadoop. Version numbers
> appended to hadoop jars can reflect the compatibility. e.g. the server jar
> could be at 0.13.1, and the client jar could be at 0.13.2. In short, we can
> treat the part following 0. as the "major" version number for now.
> This allows major client frameworks such as streaming and Pig happy. To my
> knowledge, Pig uses hadoop's default jobclient. Whereas streaming uses its
> own jobclient. I would love to change streaming to use the default hadoop
> jobclient, if I can make modifications to it (e.g. to print more stats that
> are available from TaskReport, for example), if I do not have to deploy the
> new version of the whole jar to the backend and restart the mapreduce cluster.
> (I thought there was already a bug filed for separating the client and server
> jar, but I could not find it. Hence the new Jira. Sorry about duplication, if
> any.)
