Harsh J commented on HDFS-2415:
-------------------------------
Why do we need to do this when folks can use the test jar in their projects? It
is surely meant for test purposes only right?
> Move MiniDFS out of test JAR and into the main hadoop-hdfs JAR

> Key: HDFS-2415
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/HDFS-2415
> Project: Hadoop HDFS
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: test
> Reporter: Steve Loughran
> Priority: Minor
>
> This is just an idea: move the MiniDFS cluster out of the Hadoop test JAR and
> into the main redistributable.
> This would make it easier for people downstream to use it. It is the easiest
> way to bring up a DFS cluster in a single JVM, and with the MiniMR cluster is
> a common way to test MR jobs in the IDE against small datasets.
> Moving the file while keeping the package name should not cause any problems;
> all it will do is make applying outstanding patches to it slightly harder.
