Max Michels commented on FLINK-1330:
------------------------------------
The original idea is to move all directories of the final build folder to the
root. This is convenient but it breaks the separation between source and build
directories. A softlink (symlink) to the build directory is a better and also
convenient solution (e.g. "build" in the flink root).
Like Robert pointed out, unifying the two build directories for YARN and
non-YARN should ideally be part of the changes.

> Key: FLINK-1330
> URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/FLINK-1330
> Project: Flink
> Issue Type: Improvement
> Components: Build System, Documentation
> Reporter: Max Michels
> Priority: Minor
> Labels: usability
>
> When building Flink, the build results can currently be found under
> "flink-root/flink-dist/target/flink-$FLINKVERSION-incubating-SNAPSHOT-bin/flink-$YARNVERSION-$FLINKVERSION-incubating-SNAPSHOT/".
> I think we could improve the directory layout with the following:
> - provide the bin folder in the root by default
> - let the start up and submissions scripts in bin assemble the class path
> - in case the project hasn't been build yet, inform the user
> The changes would make it easier to work with Flink from source.
