Thanks Junping for taking on this huge effort! I found one tiny nit: the md5 files are not in conventional format That is to say, $ cat hadoop-2.8.0.tar.gz.md5
$ /usr/bin/md5sum /build/source/target/artifacts/hadoop-2.8.0.tar.gz c728a090b68d009070085367695ed507 /build/source/target/artifacts/hadoop-2.8.0.tar.gz But a typical md5 file would have been: c728a090b68d009070085367695ed507 hadoop-2.8.0.tar.gz I was pretty stunned finding hadoop-2.8.0.tar.gz is a whopping 410MB binary, comparing to hadoop-2.7.3.tar.gz which is just 205 MB. But later on I realized the source code hadoop-2.8.0-src.tar.gz is 33MB comparing to hadoop-2.7.3-src.tar.gz which is 18MB. So probably it’s the amount of changes made into Hadoop 2.8 makes such difference in size.
